was it was today. this was norfolk, where temperatures this afternoon peaked at 16 celsius. way above the average for the time of year. we shared across east anglia see around 9 celsius as we are heading towards late february. so how long will this last? over the next few days we're going to see the air pushing in from the south and west. this front will drift steadily northwards overnight tonight acting like a blanket of cloud, bringing outbreaks of rain to the north of scotland, but look at the north of scotland, but look at the temperatures, 629 losses, these are akin to daytime maximum is not over night minimums. so a mild start to tuesday, a lot of cloud around, some rain drifting steadily northwards across the northern isles. not as windy as this morning here. the wind is easing down still blustery. a lot of cloud around potentially as we go through the day on tuesday, thick enough for some drizzle out to the west. top temperatures around 12 or 13 is a
6:31 pm
maximum. not as warm as today because there will be more sunshine... sorry, more cloud. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, we have france starting to move on from the west and it's a cold front so gradually behind it, some colder air will start to squeeze its way south and east. not too cold but a change to the story. more cloud around and showery epics of rain sinking south and east to begin with on wednesday. brightening up behind, a few scattered showers and some of these. to turn wintry on the tops of these. to turn wintry on the tops of the hills. cooler here, 7 to eight celsius perhaps 11 as we go through the south—east and the middle of the afternoon. as we push towards thursday, a ridge of high pressure builds so england and wales will be drier but cooler, 8 or 9 celsius, a brace of rain continuing to the far north—west. but these temperatures pretty much where they should be at this time of year. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six on monday 20th february.

6:34 pm
stay or go. the stats do not lie. in 2023, two winds in his last 15 games, 36% win ratio, that is nothing we have come to expect that chelsea fans is completely disgraceful in my lifetime and the standards that we've set in the cloud. if you talk about the football on the pitch, there's been no plan b and it seems that we do the same thing over and over again from left to right and right to left, whatever the chips are down in the team scores against us, guess what? we don't end up doing anything, we up losing the game. the invention million on the part of, nothing to show for it no passion, new tactics, it doesn't seem to be a clear plan of how we're going to take this to the next level and world—class management and both available and directs it, jose mourinho might be sniffing around for a third term as well and for me,
