Weather: Fine and warm with plenty of sunshine

Today:Cloud and rain will clear southeast England by mid morning to leave a dry and warm day with sunny spells. The best of the sunshine is likely to be around the coasts, where there will be gentle sea breezes.

Tonight:It will remain dry overnight with largely clear skies and light winds. This will give a chillier night than of late, particularly in rural parts and especially in the north.

Thursday:Thursday will start sunny for many, however cloud will thicken bringing some rain into Scotland and Northern Ireland. England and Wales will see scattered showers, although warm in any sunshine.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:Mainly dry on Friday, but scattered showers in the east. Changeable this weekend with stronger winds and some rain especially in the north, but fine and warm in the south.
