Further patchy light rain and drizzle for a time this afternoon, however drier weather will continue to develop.

Afternoon temperatures will range 12 to 16 degrees, highest across the south midlands, with moderate northeast winds.

Outlook
Temperatures will stay in the low teens this weekend and it will feel cool in a fresh northeasterly wind. Highest temperatures will range from 10 to 14 degrees Celsius. There will be scattered showers over the weekend, but it will be mostly dry, with some sunny spells. The nights will be quite cold as lowest temperatures fall to between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius, with the risk of grass frost for inland areas. The early days of next week will have a lot of dry weather with sunny spells at times and good drying conditions, with some isolated showers at times. The cool weather will continue into next week as a northerly airflow keeps temperatures below the average for the time of the year, with maximum afternoon temperatures struggling to reach double figures in parts of the country.
