- In weather London expect a dry start then light rain by evening; similar in weather Birmingham. Weather York stays mostly dry with brighter intervals.
- Weather Slough and weather Canary Wharf will be breezy, with a chance of a brief shower later. Weather Skegness sees coastal showers and a fresh easterly breeze. Weather Cranfield may have patchy fog clearing to a bright afternoon.
