AceWeatherDesk – UPDATE – Storm Lilian’s influence on the UK’s weather is diminishing as the system moves into the North Sea on Friday afternoon, leaving behind some scattered showers in northern and western areas.
An overnight pulse of rain will drift in from the south of England in the early hours of Saturday morning and will result in a wet start to the weekend for much of southern and central England. The highest accumulations are likely in southern and eastern England, with a Yellow Warning for rain issued.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: “The weekend’s weather will start on a damp note for southern and eastern England, with 15-30mm of rain likely to fall in the warning area quite widely, with 50-70mm possible in a few spots where heavier bursts of rain converge. Rainfall intensity will decrease in the afternoon, leaving some showers in southern England and further showers in the northwest.”

Brightening up for some, but not all
For southern and eastern areas, fairly settled conditions will develop after Saturday. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley said: “Beyond Saturday, many southern and eastern areas will be largely fine and dry through the remainder of the long weekend, with temperatures initially below average but recovering a little by Monday.
“However, it will remain cooler with more cloud and occasional rain or showers in more northwestern areas, with some heavy rain likely on Sunday in parts of Northern Ireland, southwest Scotland, northwest England and north Wales. This may also be accompanied by some fairly brisk winds at times.”

Following the Bank Holiday Weekend for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, there are signals for warmer conditions to develop during next week in central and eastern areas in particular, with the possibility of some hot weather for a time. However, exactly how hot it gets and how long this may last is uncertain. There may also be another spell of heavy and persistent rain in some northwestern areas on Tuesday, and so we recommend staying up-to-date with the latest forecast.
