A colder shot on Friday with wintry/hail showers, but apart from that, no sign of a colder spell on the horizon.

Looking particularly windy on Thursday (PM) as a squall-line moves through. 40-50mph possible if it keeps its intensity.

Turning more unsettled from midweek onwards...

WEDNESDAY 11Β°C

Once a band of heavy, squally rain clears quite early in the morning, it should be a decent day with sunny spells but windy.

SATURDAY

Chilly to start & dry but mostly cloudy which will be stubborn in places. Bright spells trying to break through & where they do it will feel pleasant with light winds.

SUNDAY

Not as good as it was looking I'm afraid. Cloud will be thick during the morning as light rain or drizzle moves north with low-cloud on the tops.

Drier later but brightness sparse.
