the coldest of conditions. widespread temperatures into single figures. even a touch of frost in some sheltered parts of southern scotland and northern england. but tomorrow, a drier, brighter start for many and a much brighter and drier day. one or two light showers, particularly in the morning, for northern ireland, wales, and the south—west. maybe the north west midlands. showers continuing in the far north of scotland and down through these north sea coast. it is here where the breeze will be at its strongest throughout the day, so quite a cold feel. but further west, with lighter winds, much more sunshine around, although sunshine temperatures similar to today's values, it will feel a little less chilly. then as we go into sunday evening and overnight, after a clear start and a chilly start, temperatures will rise all went into this, the next approaching weather system of the atlantic. this will bring a different day again on monday compared to sunday. back to grey conditions. maybe a bright start towards east anglia and the south—east and brightening up in the far west later. but many others will see cloud, outbreaks of rain trundle across during the day and with it, a strengthening wind, too. so, on monday, with the lack of sunshine for many and that strengthening wind again, it will feel colder

than sunday will. and as we go, in fact, into monday night, our area of low pressure that brings that when front arts to develop even more to the east of the country, so the winds will strengthen. particularly cold down the north sea coast of scotland and england. outbreaks of rain was prevalent across england and wales. something a little bit brighter in scotland and northern ireland, only one or two showers. but it will be chilly. temperatures only around ten to 13 degrees for many. remaining lower than it should be for the time of year and it will stay chilly as we go through wednesday and thursday. there is a selection of us, the forecast, though, suggests it will be a little bit drier and brighter, though.
