hello again. we're going to see a mixture of sunshine and blustery showers this weekend once again, most of the charles wooley across northern ireland and scotland. some of them heavy and longer spells of rain in the north—west of scotland. likely to see more showers for northern england and north wales, very few have any showers further south and more sunshine. john gwynne is on saturday, but equally windy and scotland, in the north winds will be touching gale force. and it will be a bit cool in scotland and northern ireland. for england and wales, four minutes later, again, temperature 22 23 degrees. it

won't be as windy as we move into sunday, that's because that low pressure is moving away, and is going to take away the worst of the showers as well. we are still left with a mixture of sunshine and scattered lighter showers on sunday across scotland, northern ireland, above the far north of england. but as you move further south across the country there will be more sunshine around and there should be dry once again. so temperature is getting up to 21 degrees or in the south—east of england and around 15 in central scotland.
