Headline:

Cloud encroaching overnight, gradually brightening up through Saturday.

A cool and grey start, with mist and patchy drizzle over hills. The cloud will gradually burn back to the coast to give a fine afternoon, with warm sunshine for most. Cooler along coasts where the cloud may linger. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Low cloud will once again spread inland to become extensive by the end of the night. Although largely dry, the odd spot of drizzle cannot be ruled out locally. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Sunday:

Slightly cooler than recent days, with early low cloud slowly breaking up into sunny spells and perhaps the odd afternoon or evening shower. Low cloud spreading back inland overnight. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Mainly fine with warm sunshine after some cloudy and cool starts but a chance of isolated showers on Monday, perhaps heavy. Temperatures widely above average, but cooler near some coasts.

A generally dry and fine end to the working week with light winds and warm sunshine continuing across the United Kingdom. A few showers are possible, but the majority of places will be dry. Temperatures during this time are likely to continue to be above normal for the time of year. Into the bank holiday weekend and following week, a change in weather type is expected. More unsettled conditions are likely to develop, with weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This will bring spells of rain to many areas, perhaps heavy at times, with a risk of strong winds in places. Drier and brighter intervals are likely between systems. Temperatures will probably be near normal or slightly above.

Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June. Spells of wet weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods. Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still possible, as normal for the time of year.
