New_weather - sunshine Will the sun shine this week?

Find out what the weather has in store this weekend with GMTV's Clare Nasir and Kirsty McCabe

Thank you for all the personalised weather requests this morning. Unfortunately we didn't get through all of them, but the overall picture for this weekend is an improving one. It's fairly breezy Saturday and Sunday with sunny spells and scattered showers but by Monday most places will be dry with sunny spells and light winds.

So don't be too disappointed by yet another wet start across the southeast quarter of England as that rain should be gone by lunchtime (although it will linger on in the Channel Islands until this evening). Otherwise we've got a bright start with a few scattered showers, with more showers popping up through the day. Some of the showers could be heavy across Scotland. It's fairly cool in brisk northwesterly winds, around 16 to 20C. But out the wind and in the sunshine it should feel pleasant enough and southern counties of England should be mostly dry this afternoon.

Overnight the showers will keep going across northern and western Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and northwest England. It remains breezy on what will be a fairly cool night, temperatures for many down to single digits.

Further showers will develop across much of the UK on Saturday, especially for northern Scotland. The best of the brightness will be across southwest England and south Wales. Temperatures average at best in cool northwesterly wind.

Sunday should bring more sunshine and fewer showers, but it's still quite breezy, especially across East Anglia where showers are more likely. The winds are lighter on Monday as high pressure finally nudges in to bring a wee taste of summer across the UK, and with more sunshine it should feel warmer with temperatures into the high teens and low twenties. Have a lovely weekend!
