Cool and showery few days, then tending to become drier and milder for many

Cool conditions persist into the weekend with a mix of sunshine and showers. A tendency for the showers to become more scattered as the weekend progresses and this leads to a bright and dry start to next week. Becoming milder next week as well and tending to be drier, although rain will affect some in the middle of the week.
