if your garden and planters are looking a little bit parched at the moment and you mist out on some of the showers we saw on tuesday, you want to grab the watering can with the west of this week. a few showers across western areas but notice how high—pressure is dominating the weather charts in and around the uk. low pressure systems down towards iberia time and time again to stop to the big, the breeze will be strengthening. that breeze tonight across england and wales into the morning which means it will be quite as chilly as it has been but scotland and northern ireland, patchy mist and fog we should clear by the end of the morning rush hour. cloud drifting westwards across england and wales but overall a lot more sunshine around on wednesday compared with tuesday. a few showers

will pop up through the afternoon across some of these western districts. dry and a bit more of an easterly breeze making it feel cooler along there is north sea coast of england especially. nine or ten for one or two but a little bit warmer so central and western areas, temperatures up to 16 or 17. 17 possible around the moray firth as well. wednesday night into thursday well. wednesday night into thursday we continue with a predominantly dry story. clouds drifting in on that breeze but the breeze continuing to pick up, notice how temperatures are liable to drop as much. we should be clear of fast as we go into thursday morning. a lot of dry and sunny weather to come on thursday. greater chance of mist and low cloud. a bit of cloud drifting through england and wales but sunny spells for many and wales but sunny spells for many and still present the one where you have that sunshine but it is going to start feeling cooler down those eastern coast and got to bear in mind an easterly wind, seven or 8 degrees. it is always going to feel cooler here especially so on friday as that wind picks up even further.

a greater chance of thicker cloud through england and wales by this stage. even a bit of drizzle in places but most of it will be dry. sheltered from the breeze. it could be quite gusty, that wind. the highest of the temperatures, 15, 16, west of scotland. 15 or 16 on the south coast of england. a bit of a complication as to what happens to this area of low pressure. further north out of iberia it gets and its influence on us. throughout the weekend we will still have that breeze and that will feel quite pleasant but the chance of one or two more showers. bye for now.
