mph recorded in emily moore. however, the strong winds is down, and into the afternoon there was a lovely sunny well, as you can see, in edinburgh. watson's of the weekend? some sunshine for many but we have some rain around to begin with is this series of weather fronts pushing its way steadily eastwards into the north sea. so we have got this horseshoe swell of fronts producing cloud and outbreaks of rain. the first across southern scotland and northern england and then one down towards the south as well. so first thing in the morning a great start. slowly easing away, sums sunny spells coming through, blustery winds were not quite as strong as friday. only far north of scotland under some crisper, thuney asada —— skyers, further south, mildly here, highs of ia celsius. we have this high pressure just celsius. we have this high pressurejust building celsius. we have this high pressure just building as we move into sunday. weather fronts toppling across the high will mean a slightly spoiled story across the far north of scotland with outbreaks of rain and blustery winds here. a little more cloud into northern

ireland and northern england were generally a fine, sunny day for much of england and wales with highs of 13 celsius. now, that mild theme continue forfor a few days. now, that mild theme continue for for a few days. high pressure dominates as we start of the new week and that air saw this coming all the way up from the south—west, so despite weather fronts and stronger winds to the north, you can see how it is dragging in this mild air across the country. temperatures way above the average for the time of year on monday. so with that south—westerly, they could still be some poor visibility, particularly on west facing closed, low cloud, maybe drizzle and mist and fog at times and outbreaks of showery range to the west. but temperatures in sheltered eastern areas. the rest of this ontong could be cut 16 degrees, that fahrenheit. very similar as we head into tuesday. a lot of cloud around but it is a mild feel and the wind on the whole quite light. so again is temperatures around 9— 1a degrees. as we move out of

tuesday into wednesday there is a potentialfor us tuesday into wednesday there is a potential for us to start is the designs of change. this area of low pressure means the winds will then back to more of a northerly direction, enhancing some rain out to the north and west and slightly cooler air starting to tuck in as well. it will take its time in doing so, but those temperatures perhaps not quite as high as they have been for the early half of the week. we're looking at around 8— 12 degrees. moving out of wednesday into thursday, that wedge of mild air is that to be pushed away as cold air is that return, something a little bit more seasonal rather than cold, potentially, to those out the latter stages of the week. low pressure will start to dominate the story, which means we could see showers or longer smell the rain. there is a question as to whether this high pressure could influence the story and change the theme a little, but at the moment it looks likely that towards the end of the week and into the following weekend we will see showers longer spells of rain and noticeably fresher for all.
