class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After a bright and sunny afternoon, clouds gathered ominously over the city and its surrounding areas on Friday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Overnight rainfall made way for a relatively dry start to Saturday, but brief sunny spells will be constantly interrupted by showers for the rest of the day and into the evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">For Sunday, the forecast predicts a &#8220;good deal of cloud overall but occasional bright or sunny spells are likely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The report adds: &#8220;Showers are possible with a low chance of a heavy one, though most places remaining dry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">An 80% chance of precipitation from 8am tomorrow morning, with conditions gradually

forecaster <\/a>adding: &#8220;The north and west will most likely be the focus of any wetter and windier weather, where there may be some prolonged spells of rain at times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p

western parts of the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;The cold pool is moving into central Europe and warmer air is starting to appear to the south west.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">McGivern added: &#8220;No sign of a heatwave next week \u2013 mostly it&#8217;s cool, changeable westerly winds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;But when we get to August, the signs are that pressure will begin to build a bit more to the west and southwest of the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;This will bring more widespread settled weather and higher temperatures as a result.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a
