is it from me and the sports that 18. stay with us on bbc world news. —— and the sports team. hello there. this morning is starting off on a chilly note after lengthy clear skies overnight. temperatures dipping close to freezing one or two spots across the midlands and into the south—east. however, there will be lots of sunshine through the day. a few showers around, mostly across scotland and northern ireland, thanks to a weak weather front. you can see we started the morning off on a dry note further south. any mist and fog patches tending to clear away quite quickly. more of a breeze though, across the northern half of the country. scattered showers for the northern isles into the outer hebrides. showery rain through central eastern scotland into northern ireland. south of here, it's dry with a little cloud here and there, like i mentioned.

any early mist should tend to clear away. so, a fine morning to come for many. heading into the afternoon, cloud will tend to build as temperatures rise. it will stay rather cloudy across scotland, into northern ireland, further showery bursts of rain here and further showers for the northern isles. after that cool start in england and wales, temperatures should rise quite nicely, to 18 or maybe 20 or 21 degrees in the south—east, closer to the midteens further north. the reason for the showers across northern areas close to this area of low pressure and these weather fronts. that area of rain moves away. it's replaced by another one, a bit more significant with this weather front as we head into friday, and also stronger wind. so i think a wetter end to the week for scotland and northern ireland, and then late in the day, parts of the north and west of england too, followed by sunshine and showers into the afternoon. it will remain quite cool. central and southern and eastern england will be dry with temperatures of 18 to 20 degrees. onto the weekend, and we start on a fine note, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. much of the country will hold onto the sunshine into the afternoon. cloud building across western areas as this weather front

brushes past northern ireland into western scotland. it could bring heavy rain, fairly strong winds here. temperatures 15 to 21 in the south—east. the ridge of high—pressure ebbs away but it does continue to bring fine weather to the south—east into sunday. this low pressure will bring unsettled conditions to the north and the west of the country. strong winds at times, a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain. it will be followed by showers into sunday afternoon across scotland and northern ireland, with the main area of rain mainly across wales and parts of northern england and the midlands. temperatures midteens in the north, a little bit warmer in fact in the south—east with the sunshine, 22 or 23 celsius. the weekend is quite mixed, turning windy and unsettled with rain in the north and the west, the best of the sunshine in the south and east. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting in north america and around the globe. my north america and around the globe. my name is lebo diseko. our top stories: if you don't get out, you are on
