2:56 pm
other parts it is largely dry, bright and sunny spells, quite warm, again temperatures knocking on the door of those we saw during sunday for northern ireland, england and wales. but overnight temperatures ,not falling back much, but a misty low cloud around the coast will creep in land, one band of rain pushes into the northern isles and we will see another following suit. this is the warning in time for tomorrow, really, across western scotland. but given all the cloud again tonight, it will be a mild one for all. a ridge of high pressure close to the south means another fine and dry day for most of england and wales. cloudier skies coming into northern ireland eventually, but, again, most of the rainfall, 15—20 millimetres quite widely, but as much as a0 or 50 millimetres could fall over the hills and that again that is a concern as the ground is saturated, the rivers are full and cannot take any more at the moment, so we need to be aware that there could be further flooding as we go through into tuesday
2:57 pm
as well. but further south it is a very different story and that some places haven't had any rain at all so far this october. as we go through tuesday and into wednesday, it is likely some areas further south will see some rain, heavy rain potentially pushing through wales into the midlands and then easing further southwards, which means drier weather on wednesday for scotland, drier and clear with sunshine across northern ireland and northern england. a fresher feel here, though, still quite warm, despite increased cloud and rain further south. that where the front hangs around in cell through thursday, ——that where the front hangs around in the south through thursday, potentially peps up through friday, joining forces with low pressure to the south, low pressure to the north as well, so all in all an unsettled picture towards the end of the week as well, and looking to get fresher even in the south this weekend.
