derby in the women's competition is still continuing. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello, once again. it's time we got you right up—to—date with how we see the rest of the week developing right across the british isles, and the rest of the week is certainly going to be marked by quite a considerable change for some parts, in that it will be cooler, wetter and windier and, for that change, we have to thank a frontal system which has been lurking away towards the north—western quarter of the british isles in recent days. itjust hasn't managed to get across the british isles simply because of the presence of the high pressure that has brought the heat from the continent, particularly to easter areas. but wednesday sees this weather front producing some really quite heavy bursts of rain across the southwest, through wales, and then
1:56 am
to the midlands, on towards the north—east of england, during the latter part of the afternoon. and there the temperature profile — no more the 33, it's closer to 23 or 2a as a high, and cooler than that across northern and western parts, where at least there will be a bright end to the day. but come thursday, we'll be looking again towards the atlantic to see progress of more atlantic weather fronts into northern and western parts of the british isles. so it's wet and windy fare for the western side of scotland, through to northern ireland, too. generally speaking, quite a bit of cloud across england and wales, but a lot of dry weather. and again, that temperatures just about pushing to 23 or 2a at best, on notable south—westerly breeze. from thursday on into friday, we're just going to follow the line of the front back into the atlantic. a little ripple in that weather front thickens the cloud, and eventually another pulse of pretty wet weather gets into the western part of scotland, initially, then right across scotland, through northern ireland, into the northern parts of england and maybe just flirting with the north—western quarter of wales. again, thanks to the influence of a bit of a high—pressure, the south should be that wee bit drier. friday on towards the weekend, we've still got that same weather front just weaving its way across the british isles but, once that front has made its way down and across us,
1:57 am
notice how those colours really begin to drain away, and here we are into the yellow hues, with a touch of blue there, creeping into northern and western parts of the british isles. a taste of autumn, dare i say it, just in time for the meteorological start of autumn on sunday. so saturday sees the progression of that weather front ever further towards the south — slow progress there. so south—eastern parts may well stay dry for a good part of the day. but once the weather front completes its journey, then we're inot a north north—westerly flow, hence that chillier feel right across the piste, and it will be a day marked by sunny spells and showers and, as i say, meteorological autumn arrives with a bang.
