Thursday
The high pressure of Scandinavia will give a persistent southeast wind over the British Isles. Most parts will see some sunny spells through the day. However an area of light patchy rain or drizzle will move north from south England to Wales, Ireland and possibly western parts of Scotland through the morning and afternoon. East coasts will be generally cloudy with a few showers over eastern Aberdeenshire and the Northern Isles. Best of the dry and sunny weather over southeast England. Maximum temperatures at around 9-10C over the south, and 7-8C over the north.

Thursday Night
Thick cloud with light rain or drizzle over western and northern parts of Ireland as well as west-southwest Scotland through the evening, clearing overnight into Friday. Elsewhere generally a dry evening and night with long clear spells, but cloudier close to east coasts. Minimum temperatures at 4-5C over most areas, with isolated patches of frost over the most sheltered Scottish glens.

Friday
A few showers over north Scotland, otherwise it will be a generally dry day with some sunny spells. Cloud will become thicker in the evening over southern England with outbreaks of rain over southern coasts overnight into Saturday. Breezy with strong winds in exposure. Temperatures will rise to around 6-7C in north and 9-10C in south. Some frost is expected over Scotland overnight.

Saturday
An approaching low pressure system to the southwest of the British Isles will give a cloudier day for most, even though some spells of brightness cannot be excluded. Through the day, outbreaks of rain will spread north, this mostly light and patchy. Rain may become more heavy later in the afternoon over southern coast of Ireland as well as southwest England and Wales. Afternoon temperatures at 12-13C over southern parts, but 8-9C elsewhere.
