However, before that, wet and windy conditions are in the Friday forecast for many across the northern half of the UK. Low pressure systems continue to roll in from the Atlantic across the far north of the UK, affecting mostly northern and western Scotland. Meanwhile, high pressure will block and weaken these fronts across the southern half of England and Wales, where drought conditions and hosepipe bans continue. Sunshine and showers on Friday Friday will feel cooler across central and southern areas of England and south Wales with a brief spell of rain in the morning, followed by sunny spells into the afternoon. It should also feel less humid, but temperatures could still reach 22C (72F). By contrast, northern England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and north Wales will have a breezy day with sunny spells and a scattering of showers which could be heavy in the west. There will be fewer showers and more sunshine for eastern Northern Ireland and eastern Scotland. Gales are expected for exposed coasts and hills in western Scotland.
