The afternoon sees it becoming brighter over much of England, away from the coasts and also for parts of eastern Scotland too. Feeling very warm in the sunshine. Western coasts are likely to stay cloudy and damp with fog drifting off the sea, and heavier rain affecting the west of Scotland. Highs at 16C on western coasts, but 23C where the sun comes through.

It will be a windy day everywhere with gales in Ireland and parts of Scotland. Temperatures around 20C in southeast England, nearer 14C in western Scotland.

A mix of sunny spells and showers through Saturday. Low pressure is going to be to the north of Scotland and this will be bringing the heaviest of the showers to Scotland and Ireland.
