Heavy and blustery showers in the northwest. Drier further south.
Breezy in the north with a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers, and some snow over mountain tops. Largely dry in the south with sunshine and perhaps just the odd shower. Feeling cool in the northwesterly breeze.
Showers continue in the northwest overnight, with hail and thunder possible at times. Staying drier further south with some patchy cloud. Turning chilly under any clear spells.
A similar picture on Thursday with the best of the sunshine in the southeast. Heavy showers continue in the northwest with a risk of hail and thunder. Remaining breezy.
Staying similar over the next few days with sunshine and blustery showers in the north. Drier across southern parts of the UK, with temperatures here slowing increasing over the weekend.
Updated:
Showers are likely to affect some north and northeastern areas at the start of this period with drier and sunnier conditions elsewhere. A build of pressure will probably bring settled conditions across the country as a whole for a few days after this, with dry conditions prevailing and periods of sunshine. Toward the following weekend, these dry conditions may start to decline with a greater chance that more unsettled weather could develop. Should this happen, the wettest conditions are likely to be in the north and west, with the driest weather in the south and east. There is still a chance that drier conditions could remain in place more widely. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly below average at first, perhaps slightly above normal later.
Updated:
Signals are weak regarding prevailing weather patterns during this period. Typical conditions for the UK are most probable, with a mixture of weather types. All areas can expected to see some spells of drier, sunnier weather but there will also be showers or longer spells of rain at times. Temperatures are most likely to be close to normal or slightly above.
