-Thursday Evening and Night:
Mostly cloudy with further spots of light rain or drizzle. A freshening easterly breeze will keep temperatures from falling too much. Minimum Temperature 6 °C.
Friday:
May be generally dry, a few bright intervals developing, although rather cloudy at times with a little showery rain possible. Feeling rather cool in a brisk northeasterly breeze. Maximum Temperature 14 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
The weekend, mostly cloudy, rain at times. Monday, a brighter prospect, mainly dry with some sunshine possible. Brisk northeasterly winds throughout keeping it on the cool side.
UK Outlook for Tuesday 22 May 2012 to Thursday 31 May 2012:
Southeastern areas are likely to be rather cloudy at first with outbreaks of rain, these possibly heavy and thundery. It should be mostly fine and dry elsewhere. Rain will probably clear southern and eastern areas by the second half of next week, with much of the UK seeing some good sunny spells for a time. However, cloud and rain is likely to spread northeastwards into England and Wales later next week and the most likely scenario is for unsettled conditions to persist in these areas for the rest of the month. Other areas are more likely to see more settled, sunnier weather continuing. Temperatures will be below average at first but will probably recover to nearer normal, and may become locally warm during the second half of next week.
UK Outlook for Friday 1 Jun 2012 to Friday 15 Jun 2012:
Conditions look to be rather unsettled and changeable towards the end of May and into early June, but with no single weather type strongly favoured. Temperatures look to be near average generally, but perhaps a little below average at times in south and southeastern areas. These areas may also see slightly wetter-than-average conditions, at least early in the period. Otherwise much of the UK should see near-average rainfall amounts, perhaps even a little below average towards the far north.-
