Southwestern areas have the greatest chance of maintaining largely dry conditions. Temperatures around average but with a greater chance of mild conditions in the northwest and below average temperatures in the southeast. During next weekend and into the following week, there are signs that the influence of high pressure will decline to the west. This means many regions are likely turn unsettled, with northern and eastern areas probably having the most frequent spells of rain and showers. This also increases the likelihood of a spell of northerly winds and colder conditions.
