talk through them later. hello. many of us started the new week with frequent and heavy showers, and that brought some impressive cloud formations. an excellent example of a mammatus cloud here in somerset on monday afternoon. we also saw some sunshine, and when you put sunshine and showers together, well, it's a perfect recipe for rainbows. still some showers to come through the early hours of tuesday. they will slowly fade from many southern and eastern areas, and generally become confined to northern england and parts of scotland. a fairly chilly end to the night across the highlands of scotland. and through tuesday morning, there'll still be some showers, around, mostly for western scotland, north—west england. these will start to fade, and for most it's a mainly dry day. there'll be some spells of sunshine, but cloud will tend to build across northern ireland, the western isles of scotland, ahead of some rain through the evening. it's a breezy if not windy day, these are average wind strengths through the afternoon, still quite gusty, for many western coasts. and temperatures, well, 10—14 celsius through tuesday

afternoon, still on the mild side for the time of year. rain already in the west will slowly start to push its way north—eastwards, and that's likely to become heavy for a time across parts of northern ireland, north wales, north—west england and western scotland. patchy rain for the midlands, but otherwise, for central, southern and eastern england it should stay mainly dry. some clear spells, temperatures here holding up to nine or 10 celsius. looks like the wettest weather will be across northern england, scotland and northern ireland, all tied in with this front, which is still with us on wednesday. notice that squeeze in the isobars, so once again it becomes windy, particularly for irish sea coasts. still some outbreaks of rain on wednesday, continuing across northern ireland, although it will start to clear through the day, and it continues across western parts of scotland. further east, there will be some spells of sunshine, it could well be quite mild here, and eventually that rain will pull away from northern england. it is a mild day for all — 13—16 celsius. in fact, 16 celsius

we could find across parts of murray and aberdeenshire. and we're all in this warm air as we go through wednesday, pulling it up from the south. this front is still fringing northern and western parts of the uk, so could just still see a little bit of patchy rain at times here, but for most it becomes dry. there'll be some spells of sunshine. winds starting to ease down. but bear in mind towards the end of the week, although it's looking settled, we could well see some mist and fog, and that could be quite slow to clear. goodbye. this is the business briefing. i'm sally bundock. italy faces a deadline to revise its budget. the european union threatens fines if it doesn't, but the italian government says it will not budge. and stocks slide. asian markets follow wall street lower as investors hang up on apple. let's show you how they trade now. you can see injapan that this is a recovery, believe it or not down over 3% up not that long ago.
