5:26 am
question if you can get your full weeks work done in just four days as a new trial kicks off here in the uk for a 4— day working week. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @tadthnright. it was a soggy end to the weekend across england and wales in particular, but we start the new week off on a largely dry and settled note. increasing amounts of sunshine for monday and tuesday. it will start to turn wet, though, on wednesday, windier by the end of the week but, generally, temperatures will be around the seasonal average throughout the week, both by day and by night. so, monday starts off rather cloudy, rather murky for england and wales. outbreaks of rain affecting eastern england, east anglia. fairly strong northerly winds, which will clear away. then, it's an improvement in the afternoon — we should start to see some sunshine breaking through that cloud for england and wales. could set off the odd shower. again, the best of the sunshine will be across scotland, where we could see 21 degrees, but even further south, given more sunshine around, we could make 18—20 celsius.
5:27 am
as we head through monday night, could see this little feature bring some rain to south west england through the channel and spread its way eastwards. elsewhere, though, it should be largely dry but across south east scotland, north east england, we'll see a return to some rain there. and we start tuesday off with double—figure values in the south, single values there for eastern scotland, north east england. for tuesday, it's a bit of a similar story. we're in between weather systems, so a largely calm day, i think. variable amounts of cloud to start the day. early rain in the south will clear away and we should see the rain in south east scotland, north east england ease down as well into the afternoon. elsewhere, increasing amounts of sunshine — more for england and wales — so it'll feel warmer. could set off the odd shower again, but most places dry — highs of 22 degrees. later in the day, we start to see some rain getting in towards the far south—west — that's because we've got this frontal system working its way in across the country as we head on into wednesday. now, some of this rain could be quite heavy — particularly for england and wales for a time — before it clears its way eastwards.
5:28 am
winds more of a feature, as well, across the south of england, south wales, certainly through the channel. into the afternoon, it'll be one of sunshine and showers and some of these showers will be heavy and perhaps slow—moving as, further north, those winds will be lighter. top temperatures, 16—20 degrees. that little area of low pressure clears away. a brief ridge of high pressure to start thursday but a deep low develops out in the atlantic to the north—west of the uk later thursday into friday — that's going to bring some very windy weather to the north and the west of the uk in particular, and it's here where we'll have most of the showers or longer spells of rain. the further south and east that you are, although breezy, it should stay largely dry with some sunshine.
