Chilly to start for some, but another widely dry day with sunny spells developing through the afternoon. Feeling quite warm when the sun appears, though cooler and cloudier across some central areas where the odd spot of drizzle is possible.
Tonight:
Variable amounts of cloud, perhaps with the odd drizzly shower pushing south across parts of England and Wales. Some clear spells here and there, but a milder night for most.
Saturday:
Cloudy for some on Saturday with the chance of an odd shower. Best chance of some sunny spells reserved for the south and west. Feeling increasingly warm as temperatures rise.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Chance of the odd light shower Sunday and Monday, but most areas will remain fine with clear or sunny spells. Turning warmer before it become less settled from Tuesday.

UK long range weather forecast
Majority of this period comes with lower than average confidence, even accounting for the long range. This is due to large uncertainties surrounding the behaviour of ex-hurricane Erin at the beginning of the forecast and its subsequent impact on the large scale weather pattern over the UK. Probably beginning fine for the vast majority of areas, but a band of rain, already in or threatening the west, is likely to move slowly east, perhaps preceded by showers in the south. More changeable weather is likely thereafter, possibly even at times unsettled, with more in the way of rain, showers and stronger winds than recently. Starting off warm, especially in the south and east, but temperatures are likely to dip nearer to average for most of the rest of the period.
Updated:
Most signs indicate low pressure could dominate, and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. This brings potential for periods of strong winds and spells of rain, but with spells of fair weather in between. Confidence through this period, however, is low. Temperatures are likely to be near to, or slightly above average overall.
