Low pressure (972mb) lies close to Northern Scotland. High pressure
(1025mb) lies in the Atlantic. Winds across the UK are moderate to
fresh southwesterlies. Most parts will see rain moving in from the
west during the day. Temperatures will be close to normal.

Summary:
Remaining unsettled until early next week, when things should begin to
turn a little drier as high pressure tries to build into the UK. The
DWD run appears to be an outlier in that it builds high pressure over
Scandinavia later next week, with all other models tending to hint at
more unsettled weather approaching from the northwest again.
