Mixed weather is forecast for today as some areas enjoy clear skies and a mild start to the weekend while others brace for heavy downpours.
"Persistent and at times heavy rain" will sweep across areas in the far northwest of the UK on Friday, according to the Met Office, while much of the rest of the north will see overcast weather.
Areas in the south will meanwhile stay "dry and bright" with limited cloud cover, but not before forecasters predict a 'widespread sharp frost.'
