    Plenty of sunshine early this evening although patchy coastal cloud gradually spreading inland. More widely cloudy for a time overnight with some patchy rain, clearing by dawn. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

    Thursday:

    Another mostly sunny day, although patchy cloud and isolated showers could affect coastal parts during the morning. Rather warm with mainly light winds inland, but stronger towards cooler coastal areas. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

    Fine Friday with plenty of sunshine after a chilly start. Breezier this weekend with occasional rain or showers although still often dry and bright by day. Rather warm overall.
