There will be highs of 15C and lows of 10C, with the sun due to set at 21:20pm.

Generally cloudy for much of the day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, mainly in the north and west, gradually easing. Some limited sunny spells developing allowing showers to break out, perhaps occasionally sharp. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Any remaining showers dying out this evening. Still largely cloudy at first but clear spells developing, especially in the south and east, perhaps with some isolated fog patches by dawn. Minimum temperature 8 °C.
