hello again. yesterday once the early morning mist and fog patch is cleared out of the way, most parts of the uk had plenty of sunshine but there was a big contrast in temperatures from north to south. across england and wales, very mild weather and parts of temperatures as high as 20 degrees but even though we had sunshine across the north of the uk in scotland, here, it was much cooler with temperatures in shetland just reaching 10 degrees and the reason, we had cooler air mass of the need of high pressure and i'll be sleeping eastwards to the next few days in this area of low pressure tour southwest really is going to dominate it will be very slow moving and to even more in suitable weather conditions, really, the transition is taking place right now and dressing up of rain arrived with strengthening winds and look at this, towards the start of wednesday morning at the end of the night, temperatures are looking in plymouth or the temperatures are higher than they should be during the middle of

the afternoon. let alone the end of the afternoon. let alone the end of the night. to the rest of wednesday, these bands of rain are going to be erratically working their way northwards into the further east as we go to the day, i suspect parts of east anglia northeast england and scotland will stay dry but there will be more cloud around and if you break us any spells in the wind your candidate in the 30s, still very mild and 15 to 19 for england and wales and temperatures close to a bit below average for scotland and northern ireland. for thursday, another band of rain comes up and this was going to be heavier and some rumbles of thunder as it swings across all the country and this does tend to clear and there could be some further healthy showers arriving later in the day from the south. temperatures still mild and 16 to 19 for england and wales in temperatures raising the bid and northern ireland and still close to efforts is common. on friday, the low pressure still firmly in charge and there will be plenty of showers around potentially merging to get some lengthier spells of rain

towards parts of wales, western england and northern ireland closer to that centre of low pressure. but it's mild to give a temperature starting to write a little bit in scotland with highs heading to 15 degrees or so to the central belt and at the pressure is stuck with us for the weekend and it's a case of further rain showers, but it does stay on the mild side. that is your latest. goodbye.
