temperatures, but it has been a cloudy month. today, we had a lot of clouds once again. a few breaks, and think as clouds across northern england, where we had outbreaks of rain. to the west, we have these weather fronts associated with this low pressure. that will bring fans of rain across the uk over the next few days. overnight tonight, it's a dry picture for most,. but not a cold night — temperatures about 10—14 celsius. now, tomorrow, the first sign of that area of rain will make its presence felt in northern ireland with the rain turning heavy and steady here. i think for scotland, england and wales, a better chance of seeing some bigger breaks in the cloud and a bit more in the way of sunshine, and we may well hold on to some of that sunshine for the far north of scotland and the far east

of england, but at the same time, the cloud well thicken out west with some rain gathering across western scotland, pushing into the northwest of both england and wales. top temperatures about 22 celsius or so. now, the weekend is going to start off on a wet note. low pressure in charge, and these weather fronts slowly pushing eastwards. sunday is going to be the better of the two days weather—wise. so, rain on the charts for saturday. because this rain is arriving a bit quicker than had been forecast, it means that there is less time for temperatures to rise particularly high across eastern areas. so, not as hot as you might have seen in the forecast over recent days. our top temperatures about 22—23 celsius. the rain heavy at times has it works eastwards with a mixture of sunshine the rain heavy at times as it works eastwards with a mixture of sunshine and showers following saturday afternoon for northern ireland, for wales and the southwest of england. now, we still have a bit of rain left on the charts across eastern england on sunday. that will clear out of the way. sunday, generally a day of sunshine and showers, but it's these showers across the midlands, central—southern england, and perhaps the southeast that we need to keep a close eye on, because they're not just going to be heavy, they could be thundery and slow—moving in nature. so, potentially one or two naughty showers around.

into next week, high—pressure builds, and that means the weather is going to become a lot drier, a lot more settled, more sunshine to go around, temperatures into the low 20s. so, no heat wave on the cards.
