This weekend sees a mixed outlook, chilly to start but with plenty of sunshine at times.

Beginning with a dry and bright start on Saturday across the UK, though colder overnight lows could produce frost in the north. The mix of cloud and patchy rain persists for Ireland.

Throughout the day, clouds slowly spread across Scotland and England, but remaining largely dry until the early evening as rain spreads into Wales and south-west England.

By Sunday the picture changes. Unsettled overall, with some sunny spells mixing with scattered showers, these most likely across Ireland and Scotland.

Some showers may merge into heavier spells of rain at times. Temperatures remaining around average for the time of year, and a little cooler in places, though highs reach the upper-teens in south-east England.

A shift occurs in the coming week, while still changeable to start with, temperatures are rising and conditions settling. By the bank holiday weekend, highs in the mid-20s would not be a surprise.
