hello again. as we go through the next couple of days, essentially we're looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, but like today, some of those showers will be heavy and thundery with some hail and gusty winds around them. you can see them moving across england and wales while we've got rain pushing across northern england into southern scotland and northern ireland, and for the rest of scotland, it's fairly cloudy, with showery rain in the north and a cold northerly wind. top temperatures today up to 18 degrees. now, its low pressure driving our weather and overnight it drifts a little bit further east, but we still have showers and rain rotating around it and this cold northerly wind. temperatures in the north falling away to seven to about nine degrees. come further south, we're looking at ten to about 13 degrees. tomorrow, then, our low pressure continues to push towards the north sea, eventually moving into it. that opens the door to this straight northerly coming across our shores, and also still some showery outbreaks of rain in eastern areas. move out towards the west and the south, it should be drier, but it will feel colder,

especially across the north of scotland, where it will feel quite raw with wintry showers on the tops of the mountains. wednesday into thursday, there goes our low pressure. this is the remnants of ex—hurricane kirk, and that will absorb our low pressure. all it will do for us, though, is produce some stronger winds at times down the north sea coastline. thursday sees a lot of dry weather coming our way. some showers across the south and the west. a few in the north—west to be replaced later by some heavier showers. but it's going to be a cold feeling day wherever you are. these are our maximum temperatures, eight to 12, ia in the channel islands. on friday, the showers continue to push across scotland more of a westerly, but it will still feel cold. and you can see as we come further south for southern scotland, england, wales and a lot of northern ireland, it will be a dry day but still a cold feel. temperatures eight to about 12 degrees. temperatures at this time of the year in the south—east, for example, should be around about 15. as we head into the weekend, we've got this ridge of high pressure across us, but it starts to weaken on sunday, opening the doors to some rain coming

into the west. so we continue with the chillier feel into the weekend. drier in the south and east, but rain in the north and west.
