Saturday:
Mainly fine. Brightest early on, with some warm sunny spells and light winds, although cloud amounts generally increasing as the day progresses, with rain spreading northwards into the evening. Maximum temperature 22 °C.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Unsettled to round out the bank holiday weekend, cloudier than recently, with some rain or showers, but still some brighter weather. Still changeable, but breezier and cooler on Tuesday.
