Some patchy drizzle and rain over western coasts and hills, most in western Scotland and southwest Scotland. Drier and breezy in the east and feeling mild.

More persistent rain this afternoon with heavier rai in western and southern Wales and well as southwest England and perhaps the far south of Ireland.
