A temporary ridge of high pressure will build across southern and central parts of the UK on Saturday, bringing a window of settled, drier weather and lighter winds. However, an incoming Atlantic low-pressure system and associated cold front will move into the northwest by late Saturday and into Sunday. This front will drag warm, humid air across England and Wales on Sunday before bringing wet and windy conditions to the north and west, eventually sweeping rain southeastward overnight into Monday.
Saturday Forecast
- England & Wales: A largely dry, fine, and bright day for most areas with lighter winds and spells of sunshine. Temperatures will feel pleasant, reaching 20°C to 24°C in southern and eastern regions.
- Scotland & Northern Ireland: A cloudier picture overall. Blustery showers are likely across northern and western Scotland, with a few light patches of rain possible across Northern Ireland before drying out later in the day. Highs in the mid-to-high teens.
Sunday Forecast
- London, South & East England: Very warm, dry, and sunny for most of the day as warm air pulls up from the south. Winds will pick up, but temperatures could reach 25°C to 27°C in local spots in the Southeast.

- Northern England, Scotland & Northern Ireland: Wet and windy weather will push in from the northwest. A band of rain will move across Northern Ireland and Scotland, accompanied by strong, gusty winds, before reaching Northern England later in the day. Highs around 16°C to 19°C.
