Sharing the forecast for Friday, the Met Office said: “Rather cloudy in the south with patchy rain in the west. Brighter for northern areas with showers and some sunny spells.

Meteorologist's Comments
Alex Deakin, a Met Office meteorologist, said: “Certainly in the morning for Northern Ireland and Wales, rain and drizzle on and off here and some heavier bursts, perhaps through the morning of northwest England. Plenty of showers coming into western Scotland, but suspect much of southern and eastern Scotland dry and bright through the day.” He added that temperatures could reach 22-23°C in the southeast, where sunnier skies are expected.
