the past month in particular. we could see 10—15 millimetres quite widely, especially on the hills, a bit more maybe. and later on, as things brighten across the south, some slow—moving, heavy and thundery downpours. for many, though, easterly winds will dominate the northern half of the country, especially where we have the rain in south—east scotland in the afternoon. temperatures at best around seven or eight degrees. that whole weather system will slowly start to pull away northwards and eastwards as we go through the week. there will still be some rain at times, wettest, though, mid—week. and throughout, like we start, it's going to be fairly chilly in the morning and still fairly cool by day. bye for now.
