Met Office predicts unsettled weather in Lancashire this weekend as rain moves in
Fine and dry weather will transition to more unsettled conditions over the weekend in Lancashire.
Much of the UK has experienced settled weather in recent days, with warmer air also moving in from the south and southwest.
While Friday will remain warm for many, the start of a transition to wetter weather is on the way for the weekend, with some rain, initially in parts of the southwest, gradually moving northeast later in the day.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “This heralds the move to something more unsettled for the UK’s weather on Saturday, with more rain or showers developing across much of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland throughout the day, and some heavier bursts likely in places.
“Western parts of Scotland are also likely to see rain on Saturday, with this gradually moving eastwards across the rest of Scotland over the weekend.”
“Unsettled weather, with occasional rain or showers for many, will continue on Sunday, with plenty of cloud around as well.”
A rather changeable pattern is becoming established for next week, with some rain pushing east across the UK at times, but also some drier interludes.
