it has been a very wet start to 2024. some places have seen all of their expected january rainfall in their expected january rainfall in the first few days of the month so still lots of flood warnings in force and the weather is going to continue to cause disruption but what is falling out of the skies, much drier over the next few days but there will be a lag between rain falling and floodwater reseeding. high pressure is building and it will be squeezing away most of the showers, low—pressure clearing the east. 12 showers around for the rest of the day, quite heavy across the east of scotland but cloudy skies for central and eastern parts of england. through this evening and tonight we see clearer skies towards the west, fairly light wind so i drop in temperature and what a cold night we will see frost and frost and mist and fog patches forming for parts of scotland and northern ireland. central and eastern england mostly frost free where you have
2:57 pm
more low—lying cloud but a murky start to saturday with the low cloud in the east and pockets of fog elsewhere. they should clear away relatively quickly so plenty of sunshine and the odd shower coming through and around the irish sea coast and the odd spot of light rain for east of england but much drier thanit for east of england but much drier than it has been of late. temperature rather cool in the east, around 5—7, 8—9 further west with more sunshine coming through. to the second half of the weekend and high pressure very much with us, not many isobars on the map. the fork for sunday could be slow to clear through the central belt, perhaps the welsh marches as well. a bit more of a breeze with showers towards east anglia and the far south—east but nothing heavy as we have seen of late. cold across the board, only 3—7 on sunday. feeling different through the weekend and into next week courtesy of this big area of high pressure and it is a large area of high pressure moving
