Unsettled weather is on tap across the United Kingdom this weekend as blustery showers greet anyone heading outdoors.
While the weekend will not be a washout, there will be a threat for showers both Saturday and Sunday along with occasional gusty winds.
Current forecasts are leaning toward Sunday being the more unsettled day with showers expected throughout the country along with wind gusts to 30 mph (48 km/h).

Even though the greatest threat for showers and gusty winds will be on Sunday, showers may still dampen activities on Saturday, especially across southern England.
Despite the likelihood for showers along with plenty of clouds, mild air will remain over the U.K. on Saturday.
Saturday will be the warmer of the two days with highs ranging from 10-12 degrees Celsius (50-54 degrees Fahrenheit) in Northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland while temperatures peak at 12-14 C (54-58 F) in Wales, the Midlands and southern England.
Temperatures will fall a few degrees in most locations on Sunday, coming closer to more seasonable levels for the first half of March.
