breeze and high pressure for now is sitting to the west and that will bring some more cloud towards us for tomorrow. but at the moment, we've still got the showers and we've seen them streaming across northern england into the midlands and into the south east of england, where there's been a few thundery showers around it as well. now, those should tend to fade away during this evening. we could see a few more showers coming into northern england and wales for a while and we've still got those wintry showers affecting north—eastern areas of scotland. but with some clearer skies developing and the winds easing, it's going to turn quite cold out there. we're looking at the risk of a touch of frost across northern england and also into scotland.

we'll start with some showers across northeast scotland. many places, though, starting dry and quite sunny. the cloud will build up again and we will see a scattering of showers with the odd heavy one arriving. but there's more cloud and some outbreaks of light rain affecting northern ireland moving over the irish sea into western parts of wales later in the day. but ahead of that we've got that northerly breeze. it is not as strong as it has been, but it's still cold air. and so temperatures are going to struggle again on wednesday. that cloud that's coming in from the atlantic on that weather front that's moving away. high pressure still to the west, another weather system coming in around the top of that. but we'll have some clearer skies overnight into thursday morning. this time more across england and wales. so there's a risk of a touch of frost here. in actualfact, sunny, start here, but it will cloud over from the north and we'll see outbreaks of rain coming into scotland, perhaps affecting northern ireland and then pushing into northern parts of england, limiting the sunshine in the afternoon more towards the south west of england and the channel islands. temperatures could reach 12 degrees in cardiff and 12 degrees in belfast. so still it's not particularly warm out there. now, the weather system, an area of low pressure that's bringing the rain, pushes away quite quickly overnight and into friday, allowing

this to arrive. high pressure to build across the uk. now that's going to bring some uncertainties. it looks like we're in for a much needed drier spell of weather, but we could introduce more cloud and it's not going to be as warm as last weekend.
