change probably settled. the biggest change probably by the time we reach the weekend will be a switching around to a northerly wind. the next few days, a lot of dry weather around and a considerable amount of cloud. temperatures, the feel of the days i think certainly a little cooler than we would expect as we go into the start of meteorological spring, the 1st of march tomorrow. plenty of cloud tonight. the north—easterly wind still fetching in a few showers from the north sea to the north—east of england and in the midlands. clearing skies towards the far south—east. we had some showers early on. there could be some ice first thing on wednesday. sunshine across western scotland after a frosty start takes us through mid week. elsewhere, still a lot of cloud. we still have that pretty tedious north—easterly wind coming in off the north sea which is making for quite a cool feel to proceedings. temperatures on the thermometer where we would expect at this time of the air, highs of eight, nine or 10,000 this time of the air, highs of eight, nine or10,000 in this time of the air, highs of eight, nine or 10,000 in the wind, it will feel closer to five or six.
10:31 pm
thursday, a little bit like spot the difference. they hide to the north again. the isobars open up a little bit. what does that mean? lighter winds and that means it may not feel quite as chilly. some signs we could pull in some slightly clearer heir to the south of the uk from the continent. there might be more in the way of sunshine. just a chance thursday will feel more springlike but by the time we get to the end of the week, that area high pressure wriggles around to the west of us again, swings and winds around to northerly direction and if anything it looks like we will be set in some arctic air by the time we get to the weekend, with the prospect of something a bit more wintry on sunday. thanks, susan. and that's bbc news at ten on february 28th — there's more analysis of the days main stories on newsnight with faisal islam which is just getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are, but from the ten team, it's goodnight.
