Variable, may be mostly northerly, in range 15 to 25mph.
Sometimes very blustery. Notable wind chill where exposed on tops.
Rain then showers
Some uncertainty: Rain before dawn and into early morning, tending to break up and clear eastwards, but may be slow to do so leaving further clusters of showers, possible hail.
Breaking away from rain
Fairly extensive cloud from dawn, becoming confined to higher slopes as rain fades, and many tops clearing. Patches may come and go above 450-600m through day, lowest in west.
40%
Cloud layers may gradually break up to give some sunshine, perhaps only late in day. Visibility poor around rain, but may improve markedly to become very good.
7C
11 to 15C.

Low confidence: Direction likely to vary, in range 10 to 25mph.
Fairly small, but risk blustery and chilly on higher areas for a few hours.
Risk persistent rain
A zone of rain is expected to pivot across northern England - duration of heavier rain very uncertain. Risk of rain persistent over several or many hours, but may break up into showers.
Extensive in rain
Most cloud confined to higher slopes, or sometimes above the hills. If rain sets in, cloud lowering for periods.
60%
Mostly little sun due to layers of high cloud. Visibility very good away from rain, but poor if rain sets in.
6 or 7C.
9 to 14C.
Varied conditions beyond midweek as complex lows pivot eastwards across Britain. Most rain may well be focused across England, Wales & southern Scotland, with only well scattered showers for much of the Scottish Highlands - excellent visibility and good cloud breaks. Some marked lulls in wind, but for periods up to gale force - northerly by Friday. Generally chilly up to Saturday with higher mountains near or just below freezing point, and overnight frost in some valleys. Over the weekend, westerly winds are expected to return, with rain, low cloud and less cold temperatures.
