Friday will also remain dry, but chilly, with the morning to be sunny, and temperatures to stay between 5 and 9c during the day.

Frost is to develop in the midlands and east, with temperatures dropping to below -1 and 4 degrees.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is to remain dry with temperatures increasing to between 8 and 11 degrees, with rain expected in the west, before spreading around the country by the evening. Temperatures are to drop to between 6 and 8C at night.
