“Highest temperatures will typically reach 16 or 17 degrees with mostly fresh to strong south to southeast winds.”
The outlook for Sunday is similarly unsettled, with scattered outbreaks of rain becoming more widespread and persistent with some very heavy falls, leading to localised flooding.
“Blustery too in fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds with highest temperatures of 17 to 19 degrees. Becoming drier overnight, though some showers will feed in later off the Atlantic,” they added.
