hello there. it's been a fine and warm day today for many areas with just a few showers, mainly across eastern scotland and eastern england. now, the showers fade away this evening. overnight, many places will be dry, but rain and a stronger breeze will be pushing in from the west. and that will make for quite a cloudy and a damp bank holiday monday. here it is showing up clearly on the pressure charts. it will arrive across northern ireland certainly later on today into the evening. some of the rain will be quite heavy at times and eventually through the night it'll transfer towards central and western parts of britain. now, ahead of it, it'll stay dry. the showers that fade away through this evening will leave clear skies through the night and temperatures will dip into single digits in one or two of the chillier spots, but generally out west, temperatures will be rising as this rain moves in.

so we could start off with some early brightness eastern england, east anglia, in the south—east, but it won't last. the rain will arrive here later in the morning, through the afternoon. skies brighten up for scotland and northern ireland, but some heavy showers will develop. could see some significant thunderstorms developing across northern ireland. so some torrential downpours in places. in the sunshine, where you get it, then the high teens, but for most, i think, the mid—teens where it's raining, cloudy and quite breezy. as we head through monday night, it looks like the rain will tend to push away into the north sea and leave a legacy of clouds and mist and murk. one or two showers continuing across scotland and temperatures range from around 9 to 12 degrees. so still quite mild for most of us. now, into tuesday, lighterwinds. you can see fewer isobars, but we have a couple of weather fronts. these will enhance the shower activity. so many places will start dry with some sunshine around. showers or long spells of rain will continue across northern and eastern scotland. a few showers peppering eastern parts of england and showers also get into northern ireland, south wales and south—west england.

these spots most favoured for the showers elsewhere, could stay dry altogether. in the sunshine, temperatures of 17, 18, maybe 19 degrees in the warmest spots. however, things do turn cooler as you move deeper into the week. low pressure always nearby, so it's going to remain unsettled. these low pressure systems also bringing some slightly fresher air to our shores as we push towards the end of the week. at the moment, friday could be the driest day of the working week, but sunshine and showers return for next weekend.
