The weekend will see WSW'lies over the UK, with cloud and rain in the north
and more in the way of sunshine further south. Into next week the more
settled conditions will spread northwards, as a warmer WSW'ly flow covers
the UK.

the NW. The low deepens and moves eastwards on day 6, with WSW'lies and
westerlies as a result. On day 7 a weak ridge covers England and Wales,
bringing southerlies to Northern Ireland and SW'lies to Scotland.
