in the south—east, sunshine later giving the temperatures a boost but sunniest skies will be further north in scotland and northern ireland, where it's 13 or 1a degrees. that weather front is bringing the rain into england and parts of wales, but as we head into tuesday, it's much lighter by this stage, a much weaker weather front. we've got another coming in from the atlantic, that's responsible for the rain. ahead of it, a band of cloud across england and wales and it could be misty and murky before it brightens up as the wind picks up, and our weather front brings this narrow band of rain from scotland and northern ireland into the irish sea. followed by some blustery showers. it'll be windy in the north—west of scotland. warm when the sun comes out in the south—east and east anglia. the windiest weather close to this area of low pressure, and that's pushing this weather front in to england and wales, but it's slowing down. there will be some discrepancy as to where it's going to stop. at the moment, now, it looks like the south—east might be brighter.

the band of cloud and not much rain stuck across the wash into the south—west of england. behind that, more sunshine following on, where it should be a lovely day for the time of year. those temperatures still not bad as well. it will turn colder overnight. yes, we've got an area of low pressure building in from the south—west, but there's some colder air around the top of that in between these weather fronts, so a cold start to thursday and still a bit grey in southern counties of england even though that weather front is out of the way. but away from here, plenty of sunshine. it looks like being a nice day. temperatures won't be quite so high i think on thursday because of that chillier start, but plenty of sunshine to come. we'll start to see some changes by the time we get to friday. still got high pressure for a while, but there are these weather fronts toppling into that and that will increase the breeze and pick up some more cloud and a bit of rain in the north—west. this band of cloud and rain will trickle down into scotland and northern ireland.
