This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud and patchy light rain continuing to sink southeastwards through this evening and overnight. Turning drier through the early hours with clear skies developing for many by dawn. Turning chilly in some prone rural spots, with winds falling light. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Sunday:

A bright and largely dry start to Sunday, with cloud soon building by late morning. A few well-scattered showers, but mostly staying dry. Light winds. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Dry to start with rain arriving later on Monday. Drier on Tuesday with some bright spells. Further spells of rain likely through Wednesday. Feeling cool for the time of year.

The outlook period likely sees a continuation of the changeable conditions, with occasional bands of rain moving in from the west or northwest. There will be a good deal of dry, warm, and settled weather in between frontal systems, with the best conditions most likely in the south and east where winds will be lighter. In contrast, further north and west, it will generally be breezier, and any rain that does occur will be heaviest over the hills. Cloud cover will vary, with cloudier weather expected in the north and west, while clearer skies are likely in the south and east. Temperatures will be around or a little below average for the time of year, but on sunnier days with lighter winds, it will still feel warm or rather warm.

On balance most likely rather changeable at first, with periods of unsettled and cloudy, wet weather mixed with spells of dry and fine weather, with weather systems tending to come from the west. This means that the west is likely to see the wettest conditions, while the east will tend to be drier. By mid month there is a signal for more settled conditions to develop, so more in the way of dry weather, although still with a risk of some rain / showers at times. Temperatures close to average at first, but with a greater chance of warmer than average conditions later in the period.
