Outbreaks of thundery rain will persist overnight, heaviest and most frequent across Atlantic counties.
Some drier spells too, mainly to the east, but with possible mist. Relatively mild with lowest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees Celsius. Westerly winds will be strong along Atlantic coasts, and somewhat lighter elsewhere.
Blustery outbreaks of rain will occur on Saturday, merging into longer spells of rain in places, with further spot flooding, and possible thunderstorms. Some bright or sunny spells too.
Highest temperatures will range 16 to 19 degrees. West to northwest breezes will be mostly moderate to fresh in strength.
