Wintry rain showers and stiff winds are predicted for much of the UK over the weekend and into next week, but forecasters insist warmer weather is on the way.
Saturday will bring a mixed picture of sunny spells and showers for many, with the heaviest and most frequent rains in the north where they will feel wintry over high ground.
More rain will sweep into the south of the UK by the evening but will clear across the region on Sunday morning as conditions turn colder, especially across the northeast.
