12:50 am
with high pressure in the south and east, we go into the morning dry and for many, clear once again. there will be mist and low cloud in east anglia and the south—east. here, the coolest of the weather. 3a degrees to start the day. the mist and low cloud into south—east will burn back to the coast through the day but we will stick to the cloud stick to the cloud in northern ireland and scotland. sunshine a bit hazy. blue skies and patches of sea fog in the english channel. hazy further north and breezy. still pleasant in eastern scotland. further north in scotland, small threat of the shower. 21 the high in the murray firth. it is always that bit cloudier up there. occasional rain but there will be dry weather, too. it will turn wetter and the rain
12:51 am
becomes heavier and more persistent but we will see sky clear through eastern scotland and down through much of england and wales with the risk of some mist and sea fog around the coast. temperatures by night not dropping as much as they have recently. one good news for the gardeners. the bad news is high pressure will dominate through the start of the week so not much in the way of wet weather. plenty of watering of the plants to be done. the wettest weather on monday confined to scotland and northern ireland. heavy, persistent rain to start the day but it will nudge off westwards. so many of you, including eastern parts of northern ireland and much of scotland by the end of monday, dry and warm again. an outside chance through southern counties of england of a small thunderstorm or heavy shower. same too on tuesday. most will be dry. a bit more cloud on tuesday through scotland and northern ireland but not much in the way of rain. the only thing is, it may take us into cooler air in the far north in the high—teens and low—it 20s.
