We've rain spreading up from the southwest this morning, and that's going to work its way up through a central swathe of the UK, but will leave plenty of dry and fine weather both to its north and to its south.



The southeast quarter of the country will be the warmest spot today, with 22-24c typical, maybe even a 25c here and there - so still on the warm side. To the north of the rain band across the north and east of Scotland 17-20c will be the target (watch for a few showers developing here), but under that rain cooler with the highs reaching 16-18c.

It'll be blustery too, initially up the western side of the country, but winds will increase elsewhere as the day wears on, and through the evening. The rain will slowly spread through into those drier parts of the country during the evening and overnight, and will be slow to clear the southeast corner and the north of Scotland into tomorrow - perhaps taking into the afternoon to move away.

Then virtually whole country is left in the same boat, with some sunny spells but also a fair few showers - some of which will be on the heavy side, blown in on a blustery southwest to westerly wind. Bucking that trend will be the far north of Scotland where the winds will be from a northerly quarter.
