Eastern areas are likely to be cloudier with a higher risk of showers at the start of this period, with drier weather and the best of the sunshine probably in the west. The east is also expected to see cooler than average temperatures over this period. Into the rest of next week, it will likely be mainly fine and dry, but occasional rain and showers, mainly in the east. Feeling warm in any sunshine. Towards the bank holiday weekend this pattern is likely to continue, and although there will be plenty of dry weather with sunny spells, there's also a chance of some more unsettled, showery conditions developing for some parts of the UK. Any stronger winds likely easing though and temperatures likely remaining around average for most.

Winds will probably be generally light, although the odd spell of stronger winds will still be possible. Temperatures possibly warmer than average, although colder conditions could extend from the northeast at times.
