Brighter weather following to Ireland. The band of rain edges eastwards and becomes fragmented through the day, reaching northeast England, the Midlands, Wales and most of central southern and southwest England through the afternoon. Brighter and windy across Scotland and Ireland, although heavy showers affecting western parts of Scotland. A mild day with highs at 10 to 14C.

Saturday
The threat of some cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle across much of the southern half of England to start Saturday.

Misty at times over southern areas too with fog shrouding the hills. A much brighter day for northern England, Scotland and Ireland with sunny spells here, the best of them in the east. Showers affecting western coasts of Scotland and Ireland, most of these fairly well scattered. Highs at 7 to 12C.
Sunday
A ridge of high pressure builds trough the country on Sunday and this brings a much improved day. There may a few showers in the morning across England, although these will be fading away.
