was a bit risky, i think, stopping that early. but i had to make it work. that's my job. that is almost all the time we have now. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye for now. hello once again. it may have taken a time this weekend, but we've got a decent amount of sunshine. but it would have done nothing for the temperatures as you may well have noticed. and you can see on the bigger picture there's a lot of that fresher sort of regime on offer.
1:52 am
and for the next few days, dry weather and sunshine as well but it won't do anything for the temperatures. it will be cold both by day and by night. that's the way we start monday morning, widespread frost, the first of the season on that sort of scale, you could be scraping the cars first thing up. a list a lot of sunshine for your commute and some dry weather, too. seems showers in northern scotland, maybe one or two in southern england, weather front close by to the far south—west, the cloudier with the odd bit and this the rain perhaps. changing the day, taking you from monday to tuesday, the overall pattern doesn't seem to change very much at all except the isobars just beginning to open up there across the northern part of scotland. so that means less in the way of breeze. still a bit of an onshore here, so not overly warm. a frosty start again but a few showers for scotland,

1:54 am
into something a good deal milder. coming in from the atlantic but at something of a price, more cloud and there will be some rain at times as well. thursday, a really murky start i would have thought. the rain over there over towards the east, a lot of murk in between these weather systems and then more rain gathering itself from the atlantic to affect southern scotland, north of england. but at least the temperatures are ticking up.
