hello. it was a drier weekend for many. still quite a bit of cloud around, but in the sunshine we saw temperatures reached just about 19 celsius in northern ireland. that's the warmest day of the year so far. and we could see the high teens again during the day on monday, the start of the week, certainly a little warmer with some sunshine. and on the whole, it's a drier week ahead, but there will be some showers around. and as this high pressure just drifts a little bit further northwards, we introduce more isobars, tightly packed lines here, stronger winds and one or two showers as well. and that keen easterly wind
12:57 am
coming off the chilly north sea will be noticeable, particularly across the eastern half of the country. but as we go through the remainder of the night, it's low cloud, mist and fog with generally light winds and a few showers here and there. so largely frost free, just a little bit chilly where we keep the clear skies and they could, as i say, could well be some fog around first thing on monday morning with some fog over the hills as well as that. so generally quite leaden skies, but brightening, the april sunshine strong now, pushing the showers away, breaking the cloud up, butjust enough still for the odd shower here and there. but where we see the lengthy spells of sunshine, 17—18 on the cards, again, perhaps central and eastern areas up towards northern scotland, northern ireland once again. but as we go through the evening and overnight, we start to pick up a bit more of an easterly breeze, as you can see, coming off the north sea, just ushering in some lower clouds, some sea air and fret on the east coast and foggy conditions around first thing on tuesday morning under this slack ridge of high pressure in the north. and it's the north, scotland, northern ireland, where we keep that high pressure for longest. in the south, we've got this little weather front starting to make its way across from the low countries
12:58 am
to increase the risk of cloud on tuesday showers on wednesday, but it's that keen north wind — sorry, that keen east wind coming off the north sea that we are going to notice, because at this time of year, our sea temperatures are about as low as they get. so whilst inland, we'll see temperatures getting up into the mid, possibly high teens, you can seejust on the coast, they'll be pegged back because of those cold waters of the north sea. into wednesday, we've still got these tightly—packed isobars, brisk winds pushing in, a few showers as well. and that risk continues particularly across the southern half of england and wales through the rest of the week. so after a warmish start, still a lot of dry weather, but temperatures just tapering off a little. more online.
