The Met Office says we can expect a find and dry end to the day before thickening cloud returns during the evening with chances of showers in the southern region, while further north will remain dry.

Tomorrow bright and sunny intervals will mix with showers in the morning, and general rain cover later in the day, perhaps thundery in places.

Interspersed sunny and wet intervals will continue until Friday, becoming much cooler as winds turn northerly.
