Further showers, perhaps turning thundery in the south, with increased amounts of cloud and some persistent, occasionally heavy rain mainly affecting western areas. Best of any drier or sunny weather expected in the east. Generally light wings but moderate or strong in the northwest with temperatures close to average, perhaps warm in the east.
