hello. with rivers running high and many fields still underwater, we could do with a little bit of better weather news. and to a certain degree, we will get that this week. no, it's not going to be completely dry, but certainly compared with recent weeks, it won't be anywhere near as wet or as windy. the jet stream is taking a more southerly track but what that does mean is we are into slightly cooler air. it will certainly be chillier, particularly by night, with frost more likely. and that is how we start the monday morning commute, with more in the way of frost and even some ice around where showers continue in the north and west through the night. not quite as frosty toward southern counties of england. outbreaks of rain here and a bit of sleet and wet snow first thing in the morning, clearing away from east anglia and the southeast quite smartly but then brightening up. showers in the west. a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow.
1:56 am
few in number to begin with, becoming a bit more abundant during the afternoon, but not as many as we saw through the weekend. more of you on monday will spend the day completely dry, with just one or two showers passing your way. temperatures around 7—10 degrees at their highest. winds will overall be lighter. not going to feel quite as cold during the afternoon as it has done, but the breeze will be picking up across the northwest later. we could see gales for a time during monday night into tuesday. more in the way of showers starting to develop through the night and they will push their way eastwards. snow across parts of scotland, even in the hills of northern ireland and northern england later on. now, temperatures will still be close to freezing in many areas. frost and ice, the greatest risk. coldest of the weather first thing on tuesday morning towards the east. this is the set up for tuesday. that weather front taking showers eastwards initially. more rain bearing weatherfronts diverted down towards france and iberia thanks to that southern track in jet stream, but they could be close enough to produce some rain across southern most counties of england and more especially the channel islands. more showers around, by and large, to start tuesday morning. a wintry mix. those will clear away. then it's back to sunshine
1:57 am
and showers for many into the afternoon. showers mainly across some western areas. temperatures similar to those on monday. then, as we head into the middle part of the week, it looks like many will still stay largely dry. still some showers around here and there. chance of some rain close to the south coast on wednesday but overall, we continue with that largely dry story. it changes a little bit towards the end of the week. thursday night into friday, we'll see a weather front push its way eastwards, bringing us all a spell of rain briefly. showers follow in its wake. and then the chance of some more wet and windy weather towards the end of the week and into next weekend. but by and large, still the rivers responding to the rain we saw for the last few days. and with some rain forecasted towards the end of the week, never to stay too far away from our flood warnings. they're there for you online.
