COLD AND DAMP
He added: “It could get quite heavy in Scotland and the eastern slopes.
“Overall the weekend will be cold and damp – while the South will be fine.
“Overnight it could get as low as 1C on the Eastern coast between Newcastle and Hull.”
Colleague Greg Dewhurst added: “The weekend will be more unsettled compared to what we have seen.
“This is because the low pressure will be in charge, replacing the high pressure which has caused the warmer sunshine.”
LOW PRESSURE FROM EUROPE
He added: “This low pressure is moving in from Europe, bringing with it showery conditions on Saturday.
“Parts of northern England will be cloudy, with bouts of showery, even heavy rain.
“Southern areas and in Northern Ireland and Wales there will be a mix of sun and showers.
“On Sunday the whole of the UK will see some sunshine and rain, with a risk of thunder.”
High temperatures will stay at the May average of 15C (59F) in most of England, while the south could see above average highs of 21C (69.8F).
