hello. wednesday's shaping up to be a fine day across most of the uk with some pleasant sunshine. however, the morning could look like this, particularly across southern and central areas of england. mist and fog really quite thick in places, but the fog shouldn't last. it will clear later in the morning, and thanks to the position of this area of high pressure and our southerly winds, it'll feel pleasant in that sunshine. and i think the mild air is here to stay at least until thursday. beyond that, somewhat cooler air will arrive off the atlantic. so the short term then, that fog forming across southern and south—eastern parts of england into east anglia, lincolnshire and further north into the vale of york. but i think it's in the south—east and east anglia, where the fog will be thickest, possibly visibilities as low as 100m or less, elsewhere, clearer skies. and this is the forecast for 8:00 in the morning, and the temperatures typically around nine or ten celsius. so once that fog eventually

clears away and it may take time, it may first lift into low grey skies before that sunshine comes through, but once it does, it'll be a fine day. just the possibility of a few afternoon showers, so don't be surprised if there's some spots of rain for a time in the south. so here's the forecast then for thursday, we still have those southerly winds, that mild air is with us. can't miss this, a weather front is approaching, but it's just to the west of our neighbourhood. at this stage, at least through most of thursday, some sunshine from london, norwich all the way to aberdeen. hazy skies for belfast and then later in the day, the possibility of that rain arriving in northern ireland. and then eventually it will arrive come friday, because this weather front will be slap bang over the uk. if anything, an area of low pressure will form and very gusty winds will develop across southwestern parts of the country. it's still relatively mild air, so temperatures around 15 or 16, maybe even 17, but that slightly fresher air starts to reach western parts of the uk. and how about the weekend and into next week?

well, the jet stream will start spreading weather fronts our way, so that does mean somewhat more unsettled weather. but into next week it does look as though the jet stream may go further north once again with high pressure building. so here's the outlook then from thursday onwards, the weather does go downhill as we head into friday with some outbreaks of rain. similar weather for saturday and sunday. fingers crossed things should improve by the time we get to monday. bye— bye.
