6:58 pm
reaches south—western parts of england and moves northwards through the course of the day. the last place you will see the rain on wednesday is the north sea coast. the outlook for the week ahead — it's a distinctly unsettled one. remember, it won't be raining all the time, but i think much rain again is on the way towards the end of the week, but nothing of the level we've had in the last few days. to head south, before
