the picture around for pm. temperature is a bit above freezing but to the south, much milder at 12 in london and similar values there. it is the rain of the site is causing problems and it could bring 45 millimetres as this next weather front moves into part of that england and wales. now it is going to be messy, particularly in the north, a mixture of rain, sleet and snow, temperatures in towns and cities and about two or three degrees before the south milder and then as we head through friday, what's left of that wintry weather does transfer further or better could be significant snowfalls across the scottish hills, particularly central or eastern parts of scotland, rain in the northeast of england and then to the south, we are talking about extensive cloud, showers, some of them heavy but mild — 12 in plymouth, 13 in london and 11 in hull and then it's much colder as we head into the north of scotland and that's where the collar area is

sitting where there is wintry weather to the south of that. and it's much milder there. and i will be friday night and saturday. and in the low pressure is with us through the low pressure is with us through the weekend but i think the areas of cloud are bit more broken so perhaps more sunshine coming through but at times, heavy showers are expected as well. and the outlook. it is a good reminder call? it does look as though it's going to stay in the mild side. the weather could be settling down as we head into tuesday. goodbye. bags already but not all of them.

many use open spaces.
