hello. the weather is going to throw just about everything at us over the next couple of days. certainly for wednesday — lots of heavy thundery downpours, albeit with some spells of sunshine in between, also quite windy out there. all driven by low pressure centred to the west of the uk. rain and hill snow pushing northwards across scotland. some really heavy rain for a time across eastern counties of northern ireland. that will take a while to clear. and then for england and wales, yes, there will be some spells of sunshine, but also some heavy, thundery downpours with hail thrown in for good measure, some sunny spells in between. pretty windy, particularly in the south, but also up towards the north of scotland and temperatures north to south between seven and 11, maybe 12 degrees celsius in parts of eastern england. now through wednesday night, we will see further showers or longer spells of rain. this clump of wet weather drifting across southern

england into the midlands. if that gets far enough, west into wales, well over high ground, that could give a little bit of snow because it will be quite cold to take us into thursday morning. although probably too windy for most places to see a frost. and then into thursday, while this area of low pressure firmly in charge. this low has been named by the spanish weather service. it's been named storm nelson because of the impacts it is going to have in spain, but pretty close to us on thursday. close enough to give some very strong winds, gales around coasts in the south and the south—west. but windy weather even further north across england and wales, very strong winds even inland. some outbreaks of rain — northern scotland perhaps seeing the best of the dry weather, but they'll even here be some showers. and temperatures around nine, ten or 11 degrees. now as we get into friday, good friday, of course, it is not going to be completely dry, but i am hopeful there will be fewer showers. more in the way of dry gaps in between. it won't be as windy and it will feel a little bit warmer. and that certainly is the theme for the start of the easter weekend. our area of low pressure

loosening its grip and so not as many showers more in the way of dry weather. however, there is a lot of uncertainty about the second half of the weekend. there's an area of low pressure that some computer weather models keep well to the south of us, it's this one here. but other computer models push that a lot further north, giving us the chance for some rain. so a lot of uncertainty about the second half of the easter weekend. there will be some rain at times, some spells of sunshine, not as chilly as it has been.
