sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me marc edwards and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello. after a rather chilly start to october, it will feel a bit warmer for many of us in the day ahead. there's an area of milder, warmer air that's been moving into the uk between these two weather fronts. but the weather fronts close by mean that there's a good deal of cloud around to begin tuesday, and for some of us it'll be rather damp, particularly from northern ireland into parts of england and wales. this is how it looks for early risers. from north—east england into scotland, though, there'll be some sunshine around to start the day, but there'll be a few showers running through northern scotland on through the day. and even where you begin the cloud, northern ireland, across a large

part of england and wales, for many of us it will turn brighter during the day. but we could still see patchy rain, southern parts of northern ireland, north wales, and for some into north—west england and the west midlands. here is the temperature at a:00pm in the afternoon, white arrows indicate average wind speeds here for the day. you can see the temperatures, a good few degrees higher than they were on monday for many. the stronger the wind, the further north we get, though. into some sunny spells north—east england and scotland, the black arrows indicate the wind gusts in excess of a0 miles an hour, and near 60 miles an hour in northern scotland and the northern isles, with those showers rattling on through. but for many of us, it'll be a dry afternoon, brightening up a little bit. some clear skies developing on tuesday night, through particularly the eastern side of the uk. and this is where we'll see the lowest temperatures going into wednesday morning. further west, well, temperatures will be holding up, with an area of cloud producing a bit of patchy rain for northern ireland and into western scotland. let's take a look at
1:57 am
wednesday's big picture. high pressure is close by, but running around the north of that, we've got low pressure north of the uk, and a trailing weather front giving some cloud and a bit of patchy rain, particularly into the western side of scotland. and some of that rain may start to turn heavier late in the day, into the north—west in particular. elsewhere, rather cloudy wednesday, some bright or sunny spells developing. probably the best of those will be in eastern england, and temperatures still into the high teens in the warm spots. now, thursday morning could well start with some fog affecting parts of southern england. it could be dense in places. a rather more active picture in northern ireland and scotland, as another weather front moves in, and some heavy rain beginning to move southwards evidently into parts of northern england with the wind strengthening once again. just a quick tease as we look towards the weekend. could well have low pressure close by, a chance to see some heavy rain in some spots, and turning a bit cooler too. we'll keep you updated.
