of scotland. something wintry for a time up over the higher ground, although much of that will turn back to rain. southern scotland, northern ireland, england and wales having a fine day after what will be a cold and, in places, frosty start. long spells of sunshine. just a few showers around the coasts. still quite blustery in the north—east of scotland but lighter winds elsewhere. temperatures — 7 degrees in lerwick, 1a for st helier. elsewhere, generally 10—13 degrees. now, sunday night will be another cold one. light winds in most places. some mist and fog patches could well develop. a little bit breezy in the south and in the north. just the odd shower in the north of scotland and also, perhaps, in the south—east of england. but in between, temperatures dropping close to or even below freezing with our area of high pressure still with us, but low pressure trying to squeeze in from the south and also from the north. so, it is northern and southern parts that will turn a little bit windy as we go through the day on monday. in between, light winds, early mist and fog clearing,

some good spells of sunshine but brisk winds in the north of scotland — maybe the odd shower here. also maybe the odd shower in southern england, where it will also turn quite windy. that strong wind also affecting the channel islands. temperatures generally 11, 12 or 13 degrees in most places. now, on tuesday, i think the winds will ease a little bit in the north but, conversely, they'll pick up across the south. turning breezy across more of england and wales and some showery rain, perhaps, across the channel islands, the south—west of england but notice temperatures rising a little bit — up to around 15 or 16. a sign of things to come. it is going to turn much more unsettled through midweek. weather systems pushing up from the south. some potentially quite heavy bursts of rain but with southerly winds, temperatures climbing easily to around 16 degrees. it could get a little warmer than that in some places but we will see some outbreaks of quite heavy rain.
