Tonight the rain in the north west of the UK steadily fades away. In the rest of the UK it remains dry with variable amounts of cloud.
Tomorrow most places will be dry, but there is a risk of rain in the north west at times. Also, by the evening more persistent spells of rain are likely to start feeding into the south west. Temperatures similar to today's.

The next few days bring mixed weather. Patchy outbreaks of rain spread northeastwards and showery conditions follow. A southwesterly flow means temperatures will be higher than recently.
Through the middle part of next week deep areas of low pressure push in from the Atlantic. They bring the potential for very wet and windy periods. In the north it could begin to turn colder.
