waiting in the wings for sunday as well. all the while, fairly tightly packed isobars, with the winds coming in from a south—westerly direction. it will continue to be on the mild side for february. right now, we're seeing the rain affecting western areas. we did have a frost earlier in the night, and as the winds continued to pick up, most of that lifted out of the way. heading into the first part of saturday morning, these are your temperatures, around 3—8 degrees. it is going to be quite a wet day for some of you and, broadly speaking, the weather slices and dices into three zones. we've got this area of fairly heavy, persistent rain working in, particularly to wales and northern england, where it's not going to be the greatest of days weather—wise. scotland and northern ireland, quite a bit of cloud, a few bright spells, but there will be showers here. it's across east anglia, south—east england and the south—east midlands that you've got the best chance of just about staying dry, but it will be breezy and there will be some high cloud around. so, bright for much of the day rather than sunny. looking beyond this weekend and into next week, the atlantic stays pretty lively.

there will be some rain around as well through saturday night, but the next zone of rain really coming in quickly as we go through sunday with some strong winds. we're looking probably at gales developing towards the south coast of england as this area of rain extends all the way towards parts of scotland, although perhaps not reaching the far north. it may well stay bright here through much of sunday, with just a few showers around, particularly for shetland and orkney. a mild day for the time of year, though. highs of 8—11 celsius. looking beyond this weekend and into next week, the atlantic stays pretty lively. we'll see further weather systems coming in from the west, bringing in rain or showers, so it is going to stay pretty unsettled. so far, this february has been pretty mild. that theme's set to continue as well in the week ahead, the temperatures at times reaching around 14 or 15 degrees.
