Wednesday afternoon will see bright conditions with patchy cloud. During the evening there will be clear spells at first, allowing temperatures to fall for a time. Cloud will increase from the west into the second half of the night, raising temperatures and bringing outbreaks of rain into the early hours. Thursday morning will see the rain becoming increasingly light and patchy, with skies staying cloudy.

 

 
Thursday It will be mainly cloudy on Thursday afternoon with some patchy light rain or drizzle. Overnight it will be mainly dry but cloudy, but during Friday morning the cloud may just thicken enough to give the odd spot of rain or drizzle.
