"Now we have high pressure close by but it is beginning to move away and low pressure is approaching. It is ahead of that we are drawing in some warmer weather but also increasing the chance of seeing some rain over the next couple of days across northern areas.
"Before that low pressure really starts to show its hand a little patchy rain for Friday in northern England, south east Scotland clearing away and then it’s sunny spells and scattered showers with a more generous amount of sunshine.
"It’s going to feel warmer and that is where we see those temperatures through central, eastern and southern England getting to the mid and in some places the upper 20Cs."
