8:27 pm
of england and wales, but more in the bright and sunny spells compared to today. still some showers developing through parts of wales, central, southern and south—west england. we could see a spell of more persistent rain arriving into the far south—west of england and the channel islands through the afternoon. cloudier for northern ireland but mainly dry. the best of the sunshine, once again, across scotland, where we will see some of the highest temperatures. but it should feel warmer across england and wales compared to today. an area of low pressure is still spiralling around in the north sea as we head through monday night and into tuesday, pushing more cloud back along to these eastern coasts of england and scotland. maybe some patchy rain. also, an area of rainjust pushing into the far south of england as well through the early hours of tuesday morning. temperatures typically between seven and 10 celsius. then tuesday actually looks to be a quieter day. with low pressure to the east and west of us, high—pressure to the north and the south, so the winds will be fairly light. there will be quite large amounts of cloud and probably more cloud across scotland and northern ireland compared to the weekend, particularly for these eastern coasts where we could still pick up a few showers. a few showers may be pushing into northern ireland through the afternoon,
8:28 pm
and we are expecting some showers to develop across the far south—west of england. but for many, it is mainly dry. we could just get a scattering of showers across england and wales, but in the sunshine certainly feeling warmer than it has done. temperatures up to around 21 or 22 celsius. most of us will see some showers or longer spells of rain midweek as a system works its way from west to east, then we are keeping an eye on this deeper area of low pressure developing through thursday and friday. that could well bring some stronger winds into scotland and northern ireland as well as some heavy rain. so a drier start for many through monday and tuesday, some heavy showers, longer spells of rain on wednesday. further showers to the north and the west through thursday and friday.
