spells of sunshine and areas of cloud as well. if you get the sunshine away from those northerly winds it will feel quite warm but where we still have the clout in eastern england temperatures of around 15. the cloud will break up overnight, rain moving away, still some spots of rain running across scotland from the cloud. keeping clear skies across the western side of the uk. here it could be a little bit chilly first thing in the morning with temperatures slipping away to six or seven. still some cloud first thing and the crowd we have in south—east scotland and north—east england pushing into the midlands, could give one or two light showers will stop otherwise a dry day. more sunshine in the south—east, sunny spells in northern ireland and a sunny day in scotland. temperatures in the central belt of scotland could reach 20. a warm at 19 in london and the south—east of england. high pressure keeping it drier but the centre of the high is getting pushed away a bit on sunday allowing all this cloud to come in from the atlantic and bringing a

change of fortune. more cloud into scotland and northern ireland with a view spots of rain perhaps as well. dry in england and wales, plenty of sunshine particularly in the south—east, a much warmer day with temperatures likely to peak at a very pleasant 22 or 23. still quite warm in north—eastern england and eastern scotland but it will cool down under the cloud in the far north—west. the cloud will push south overnight into monday along with that weather front, which is very weak so there is little or no rain on it, it is more cloud moving south. followed by sunshine in scotland and northern england and perhaps northern ireland with temperatures reaching 17 or 18. even with the south we still have temperatures of 19 or 20. the high pressure is getting pushed away allowing north—westerly wind to come in. strongerwind in allowing north—westerly wind to come in. stronger wind in northern areas on tuesday bringing colder polar maritime air. there could be
