Across all fixtures this weekend, the weather is set to be largely dry, with a mix of cloud and occasional bright or sunny intervals. The main theme will be increasing cloud and strengthening breezes as the weekend progresses, particularly from the west. Temperatures will be mild, ranging from 14°C to 17°C, but it may feel cooler in exposed areas or as winds pick up.

For those attending matches, it’s advisable to dress in layers and bring a light jacket or jumper, especially for later kick-offs or if you’re seated in open stands. While rain is not expected to disrupt play during most matches, there is a risk of showers, particularly in the west and towards the end of Saturday’s fixtures. Winds will strengthen, so be prepared for a brisk feel, especially in northern and western venues.
