1:56 am
kept temperatures up overnight and into the morning through parts of scotland and northern ireland. it's eastern scotland, more especially in england and wales with the frost, maybe down to —a or —5 in the coldest parts of southern england in the countryside, a few fog patches, parts of wales, west midlands and south—west england could be gradually clearing. and still maybe a bit of light rain to parts of northern ireland and southern scotland but that will tend to fizzle out and bring just a bit more cloud further south into parts of northern england during the day. elsewhere, well, there will be some areas of cloud around but there will be sunny spells, too and temperatures to several degrees above the average for the end of february. still that strip of thicker cloud across parts of northern england and northern ireland, the odd spot of drizzle perhaps overnight and into sunday. away from that will be some areas of cloud, some clear spells, a few fog patches around, but not widely as clear as friday night
1:57 am
and into saturday morning, so that means the frost isn't going to be as widespread. so just pockets of frost on sunday morning, some fog patches gradually clearing. still from that decaying weather front, a strip of thicker cloud from northern england into northern ireland, there could be a stray shower though the vast majority will have a drier day again with some cloud but also some sunny spells. and for the most part winds are light, quite breezy in north—west scotland and windier towards the south coast of england into south—west england and south wales on sunday where it's likely to feel a little bit cooler and generally temperatures are just a degree or two down on sunday. now, there is a greater chance of more widespread mist and fog as monday begins and it will make for a colder day especially on monday where that fails to clear. but high pressure's still around for much if not all of next week. just a little weather disturbance running up across western parts on tuesday may bring a few showers, but that'll be the extent of it. and after briefly colder at the start of the week, temperatures head up again before it turns a bit colder again later in the week.
