Planning Outlook
A generally damp weekend ahead, particularly in England and Wales: several bands of rain will pass west-to-east, cloud often shrouding hills, particularly west where only slightly improving away from the main areas of rain. Some stronger wind will affect Wales at times, notably south. Less rain over Scotland, though a little drizzly rain here and there will become local showery bursts through afternoon; variable cloud, tending to lift during the day but returning where rain forms. Also minimal wind in Scotland, mild temperatures. Westerly flow is expected next week, drawing cloud and showers into western areas, particularly in Scotland, with periods of strong wind and broader areas of rain more widely across the country. Best of bright breaks to the east.
