Touch warmer for Saturday as Blackpool weather remains 'changeable' for the weekend

The weekend weather is looking changeable for Blackpool - but a touch warmer.

The Met Office says temperatures will reached 16 degrees celcius on Saturday but will be accompanied by grey skies.

Sunday is a couple of degrees cooler but more sunny spells are on the cards.

Until then, it remains cloudy today with a 90% chance of rain around 5pm but a little warmer than yesterday. Overnight, showers continue, with the odd clear and dry spell.

Milder than previous night with most places staying above freezing. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Tomorrow sees another mixed day with showers but areas around the coast should remain dry. Slighter warmer too.

And for next week in the UK?

According to the Met Office it remains changeable and at times rather unsettled conditions look to dominate, with low pressure often close by.

This means periods of rain or showers, some of which could be heavy, for many places, though some drier interludes are also expected.

For the most part, temperatures are likely to be close to or perhaps a little below normal, though depending on the position of low pressure relative to the UK, there is the chance of brief warmer mroe humid interludes extending north from the near continent.

With this would be the chance of some thunderstorms, these most likely affecting parts of England and Wales.

It’s early days though, anything could change.
