towards the uk and anchoring itself through the middle part of the week. the jet stream is way to the north and the west of us, taking its rain, with it deflecting the weather fronts to the north. so a mostly settled week. but that doesn't mean sunny skies. in fact, farfrom it. sunshine is going to be limited this week with this area of high pressure. in fact, most days will be quite cloudy, damp and foggy in the morning. but we've got some very mild air coming in from the south. in fact, you can see today that some mild air can be traced almost to the subtropics, and it's here to stay for the next few days. now, the satellite picture reveals an incoherent area of cloud. in fact, it's breaking up in a few areas here and there, allowing some sunshine to the east of the pennines, east of the welsh hills, but rather cloudy for most of us, and mild north or south. temperatures will be typically in the mid—teens today, and then this evening some drizzly weather, particularly out towards the west and the northwest. rather cloudy for most of us and a very mild morning tomorrow. double figures. in fact, on the south coast some spots could be around 13 or 1a celsius. now, tomorrow again starts off very cloudy and murky with some hill fog and drizzle in places, but i think the clouds

will break up through the morning into the afternoon. and i think the second half of the day tomorrow is looking a little bit more cheerful, a bit brighter, certainly to the east of scotland, the north east of england. 15 degrees in newcastle. not bad at all. maybe even as high as 17 in the south east of england. now, wednesday, that high pressure is well and truly right on top of us with light winds. could be murky, foggy mornings, but some sunshine developing here and there through the afternoon and the temperatures about the same. mid—teens, perhaps a degree or so higher here and there. and thursday, copycat conditions. but notice weather fronts are starting to approach the northwest of scotland. thursday evening, we've got halloween for the trick or treaters. it looks generally dry, even clear in some areas, but some damp weather is expected in the north—west of scotland. and looking at the outlook beyond the weekend into next week with that area of high pressure close by, it looks as though it's going to stay generally quite settled. that's it from me. bye— bye.
