Outbreaks of rain, which could be heavy in places, across southern areas on Friday will gradually clear away to the southeast. Sunny spells and a few showers are expected to the north of this. Through Saturday and Sunday, a good deal of fine weather across the UK. Many areas will be dry with spells of sunshine, although a few showers are likely in places, particularly in parts of the north and northwest. Into the following week, unsettled conditions look likely to return for many parts of the UK as Atlantic frontal systems spread in from the west. These are expected to bring spells of rain, heavy in places, with a risk of strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be below normal throughout.
