we had up to 73mm of rain around the brecon beacons, 60mm into parts of shropshire, whereas further eastwards on wednesday some very warm weather. for mid—0ctober we had temperatures peaking at 22.5 celsius in central london. the average at this time of the year is 15. now, over the next few hours we've got this zone of heavy rain pushing eastwards and northwards, so heavy rain for northern england, some heavy bursts eastern scotland and some heavy rain for a time across the southeast of england. but all that lot will tend to clear out of the way. the hill fog patches will tend to lift. it'll be a mild start to the day on thursday with temperatures 11 to 15 degrees, and overall it's a better kind of day. we do start off with rain, though, across the far north of scotland. that will be slow to pull out of the way. sunshine follows for most of the uk so it should be a lovely morning thursday morning. a bit of high cloud in the sky for east anglia and southeast england. and come the afternoon we do have a trough running into northern ireland, western scotland, the northwest of both england and wales, so here through thursday afternoon, there is a risk of a few passing showers, but some of you will dodge them altogether. now, looking at friday's weather charts, another area of low pressure is on the way, this one with fairly

tightly packed isobars on the cold front. so it's on and ahead of this main band of rain that we'll get some pretty strong gusts of wind, gusts of around 50 or 60 miles an hour, working into western scotland, eastern scotland, central and eastern england, probably staying dry all day. temperatures still on the mild side, quite widely between 14 and 17 c. we do have that rain friday night and into saturday that will be affecting central and eastern parts of england, eastern scotland slow to clear saturday morning. eventually, though, it will get out of the way and we'll see sunshine and some blustery showers working into western areas. 0ur temperatures continue to run a few degrees above average for this stage of october, but then second half of the weekend we've got another area of low pressure on the way, bringing wet and windy weather conditions, but the winds will be of some concern to the northwest of scotland, where we could get gusts of 70 or 80 miles an hour, making it the strongest area of low pressure we've seen so far this autumn. a risk of some disruption.
