A strengthening north-westerly wind will carry showers across the UK. But Sunday looks calmer with sunshine in the north and east and rain creeping into the south and west.
Looking further ahead, next week will see a return to above average temperatures.
Tuesday looks set to be the warmest day of the period and could reach 21C for some. However a deep area of low pressure is likely to bring some stormy weather across the north.
