Monday
It's a cloudy and wet start to the week across much of the southern half of England. Bursts of rain will be heavy at times through the morning, especially around East Anglia, the Midlands and the Home Counties. Broken cloud and drier weather in much of Wales and southwest England. Cloud and further rain through central and western Scotland, with some heavy showers developing over Ireland. Little change is expected in the afternoon with further rain over the Midlands, East Anglia and central southern England; this could be heavy enough to lead to localised flooding in some places. Heavy showers in Ireland with a few showers over northern England and Scotland. Highs at 17C in any sunshine in southwest England but more typically 12 to 14C.
Monday Night
The rain continues to fall through parts of the Midlands, southeastern and southern England this evening. It should be slowly fading from the north and west, although still affecting the southeast even late in the night. Some rain across eastern Ireland and southwest Scotland too. Elsewhere it should be dry with some clear spells and lows of 4 to 7C.
Tuesday
A cool, northerly flow affects all parts of the UK and Ireland through Tuesday. A trough of low pressure from Wales to Ireland will be bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain with it, most across Ireland. Some heavy showers developing in Wales in the afternoon. Elsewhere there will be some sunny spells, but some showers developing over high ground, especially the eastern Pennines. Highs at 18C in southwest England, more generally 11 to 15C.
Wednesday
A shallow area of low pressure looks set to persist across Wales, southwest England and eastern Ireland on Wednesday. This brings a further area of rain through Wales, some of it heavy. Showers for southwest England and eastern Ireland. There is the threat of some rain through the Midlands too, but more northern and eastern areas should be drier with sunny spells. Temperatures at 18C in southern England, 11C in northern Scotland.
