THE weather is expected to be mainly dry and pleasantly warm in Somerset today.

It will be dry and bright with sunny spells through the morning, however cloud will thicken from the north perhaps giving the odd spot of rain by the evening. In any sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm with temperatures around 13 degrees centigrade mid-afternoon.

Tonight will be cloudy at first with the occasional shower, but most will stay dry. Skies will clear for a time allowing it to turn chilly later.
