UK Outlook for Thursday 15 Mar 2012 to Saturday 24 Mar 2012: Most of the UK will be dry at first with some sunny spells, before rain spreads from the west during Friday and over the weekend. Some heavy rain is possible over northwestern Britain, but by the time it reaches southeastern areas it will have eased, and southeastern areas will probably see very little rain. This general pattern will probably continue into the following week, with changeable weather bringing periods of rain to northwestern parts, whilst the southeast stays more settled and drier than normal for the time of year. Northwestern areas will probably see strong winds at times. Temperatures are likely to be mild or very mild at first, but will generally be average or slightly above average, although with overnight frost possible where skies clear during any quieter interludes.
