Sunday:
A weak ridge of high pressure over the east of the UK Sunday morning brings a fair start to the day. This should allow for some sunny spells for most, with good visibility, high cloud bases and lighter winds.
However, fronts already into Ireland in the morning will be bringing lower cloud and rain here. This cloud and rain spread steadily east with latest timings suggesting an arrival into western Scotland and west Wales by midday, then into the rest of Scotland, northern England, the Midlands and SW England through the afternoon. The far southeast should stay dry although with increasing cloud.
Visibility and cloud bases will lowering as the front and rain arrives.
