across central, eastern and southern england. but starting to see a more noticeable breeze developing across northern ireland, scotland, northern england, some outbreaks of showery rain working their way eastwards on tuesday. so a cooler feel in this zone of cloud and rain, high teens, compared to 24, 25, maybe even 26 for east anglia and south—east england. a similar sort of day on wednesday, except the rain is a little bit more persistent, and the winds will be quite strong, particularly gusty for western coasts. further south and east, again dry, plenty of sunshine, and still feeling very warm. not for much longer, though, because on thursday that band of rain will slip its way south and eastwards, and slowly introduce some fresher conditions across england and wales. so we're all in the fresher conditions on friday, with a mixture of sunshine and showers. so, to sum up the week, it'll be windy at times, there'll be some showers or longer spells of rain, warmest and driest in the south and east. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: an end to rough sleeping in england within a decade. the government sets out a plan to help thousands of people turn their lives around.
