so far this autumn, sheffield have recorded over 400 millimetres of rain, just shy of the previous autumn record. provisional figures suggest that nottingham, with 348 millimetres of rain, mayjust have beaten the previous autumn record rainfall. there is more of autumn to come of course and some showery rain calm and exploring japan's past. in the forecast for this weekend, now, rembrandt has to be one of the but also some spells of sunshine. it's quite a complex most famous painters in the world, weather pattern. and this year marks the 350th low pressure over the near continent, a frontal system pushing anniversary of his death. a while in from the west, the two staging something of a pincer movement, back, and adi added back to bringing areas of cloud and patchy rain in towards our shores. amsterdam, where rembrandt worked now, in between there's a zone and lived for most of his life, for of clear skies for scotland and northern ireland, and lived for most of his life, for that's where we are starting the day a project that is restoring one of with a frost. his most famous paintings. in 1631, and some fog patches across northern scotland, some of which will be quite stubborn through the day ahead. generally, i think we will see a bit more cloud spreading into scotland and northern ireland as the day wears on. he made this city his home. and it's eastern and southern scotland seeing some splashes of rain and those grey here he painted his most ms and damp conditions extend across northern england, down into parts of the midlands. masterpieces. and you can see many of them on display at the the odd sharp shower for south—west of wales down into cornwall, but for the south—east of england, rijksmuseum. but what i've come here well, here a decent chance of seeing some dry weather and even to see is very special. and involves a little bit of sunshine. a painting that rembrandt is best another chilly day, but not quite such a windy one as we've been known for, one of the most famous works of art in the world, the used to lately. now through saturday night into sunday, still these areas

of cloud and showery rain around, it will turn a bit cloudier nightlights —— the night watch. the for a good part of scotland and northern ireland. where you do keep clear skies, and some places will, it will turn into a bit of a chilly night. painting is almost four centuries old, and over the years there have so on sunday, really we're just chasing these areas of cloud been various restoration attempts. and showery rain around the map. it looks like two parts but now the museum is undertaking of northern england, wales, the south—west, the most sophisticated one ever. people will see cloud and some showers at times. to the south—east of that, using high—tech methods to carry out a fighting chance of seeing at least some dry weather. a forensic examination of how and for northern ireland rembrandt actually painted the and scotland, it should turn increasingly bright through the day. it's still chilly, single digit picture before restoration can temperatures for most of us. begin. and it's all been carried out now, into the start of the new working week, this little ridge of high pressure is going to try to work its way in one of their galleries in full across the british isles. view of the public and live streamed and that should give a drier online. the missing you see there is and brighter day on monday. this is the day where an x—ray fluorescence scanner. online. the missing you see there is an x-ray fluorescence scanner. and this way we get an idea of the we do get to dry out. there will be a few showers brought elements present in this painting. into north sea coastal areas but this is a painting which is well on a brisk, northerly wind, but otherwise it's fine. there is some sunshine. it stays pretty chilly, 6—10 degrees at best. known. why do you need to know about the we want to know how rembrandt but as we head deeper into the week, entered it, what his ideas were when it does turn more unsettled again.

he painted it, how did he make this nice composition —— when he painted we will see further outbreaks it. was it all 0k nice composition —— when he painted it. was it all ok on the canvas or did he change his mind and change of rain, heaviest in the west. more things, or did he change the composition? those things we would it will be windy, but it like to know. see you're getting a real idea of what it was like to be will turn a bit milder. a painter in rembrandt‘s time? real idea of what it was like to be a painter in rembrandt's time? yeah, we're basically on rembrandt's shoulder and watching him while he is painting his paintings. so, we're to photograph the painting in daylight, but we're not going to do it like one snapshot, but we're going to do a lot of photos next to each other. i think, from the top of my head it is 11,000 photos. wow. so then we get a really high resolution. it's like you're looking through a microscope. 0ne pixel in that photo is like a signal, it is smaller than a human hair. all of this scrutiny in all of this work for one artist — what do you think

rembrandt would make of it if he was around today? i would personally think he would think we are crazy. yeah, yeah. adi there in amsterdam. now it's time for a slice of living history. the fate vengeur masque is a huge wine festival taking place in switzerland since 1797. usually it's once every 20 years, and this year lucy once every 20 years, and this year lu cy we nt once every 20 years, and this year lucy went along to take part. as well as being unesco protected, good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: prince andrew breaks his silence on thejeffrey epstein scandal — he says he let "the side vevey is famous for the fete des down" by staying at the home of the convicted sex offender.
