With temperatures rising - Pockets of early spring sunshine

After days of dreary weather, the weekend sees more warmth across the UK and Ireland with skies clearing in places.

The warmest temperatures and sunniest areas will be felt across the east and south-west of the UK on Sunday.

Before this, yet another band of rain pushes in from the Atlantic on Saturday accompanied by strong winds.

By Sunday evening, rain is mostly contained to the west, in Wales and western Scotland, while the warming temperatures could also provoke thunderstorms across Ireland.

At the same time, highs reach the mid-teens with sunshine to the east.
