Low pressure will be tracking north-westwards across the North Sea today before becoming slow-moving close to northeast England tonight and into tomorrow. This low will be deepening for a time today and will bring prolonged and heavy rain to many parts of northern and eastern England before this wet weather moves into much of Scotland later today and into tonight.
Focussing on that rainfall then and it's a wet start to the day across parts of Wales, the Midlands and into eastern England. That rain will edge slowly north and west during the course of the day, setting in across much of southern Scotland, northern England, northern and eastern Wales to bring a very wet afternoon in these regions with the north/north-westerly wind freshening up too although parts of eastern England may turn drier later.
Meanwhile, for most other regions it will be brighter with some sunny spells developing at times but a scattering of showers will break out and some of these could turn heavy with a rumble or two of thunder. Temperatures today will be rather academic with all this weather activity but maximums will range from a disappointing 13°C or 14°C in the wetter areas to highs of 18°C or 19°C in the brighter zones.
A wet night follows for much of mainland Scotland with persistent and often heavy rain continuing to edge north and west, accompanied by strong northerly winds which may gust to gale force around coasts. Rain across much of northern England will continue but will tend to ease from the south and east later in the night. For most other regions it will become mostly dry with showers easing but it won't be a cold night anywhere.
Tomorrow sees that area of low pressure meandering around close to northeast England so further spells of rain are expected to affect many parts of Scotland, northwest England, north Wales and eastern parts of Northern Ireland, the rain tending to ease later in the day. It will be drier and somewhat brighter elsewhere with a few showers but temperatures will be rather subdued compared to recently.
