in five seasons. last week, the cowboys rejected a request from the chicago bears to interview mccarthy for their head coach opening. before we go, a reminder that you can get all the latest from the australian open over on the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. we had really big contrasts in weather across the uk on monday. in highland scotland, here in plockton, there was a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain, but it was very mild, and just along the road from here, we had temperatures up to 14 degrees in achnagart. so a real contrast then to the 3 celsius that was recorded in fylingdales in north yorkshire. the reason for this? well, the cold air that we had
2:56 am
last week hasn't entirely gone away from eastern areas, and the winds were blowing over the snow—covered north york moors, keeping those temperatures well suppressed in our coldest parts. now, over the next few hours, there's a little bit of rain to come across parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, into northern england, the north midlands and north wales, as well. for most, it's going to be a mild start to the day on tuesday, but you mightjust see an odd nip of frost if we keep those skies clearest long enough over the next few hours. now, next few days, high pressure dominates our weather picture, and the high pressure is going to be feeding in a lot of mild air, often with these southwesterly winds. so temperatures will be running above average for most areas over the next few days. quite a spell of weather then coming up for most, but there will be some rain around to start the day across northwest england, the north midlands and across western wales. a damp start to the day here. there will be some breaks in the cloud. northern and eastern scotland looking pretty good for some sunshine, and those sunnier skies should
2:57 am
push into northeast england as the day goes by. a few breaks as well quite likely across parts of the southeast. high pressure then stays with us as we head towards the middle part of the week, and as that high pressure becomes more centred over england and wales, the winds start to fall light, and that's a recipe for some fog to develop as we head into wednesday morning, and some of that fog will be with us all day. where that happens, yes, it could be quite cool, but for most of the uk, we should see some bright or sunny spells coming through, a bit of rain from another weather front just edges into the far northwest of scotland. heading into thursday, again, we could see a few mist and fog patches around, the feed of southwesterly winds continuing to bring in some pretty mild weather. most of us should stay dry with some sunshine at times, and our temperatures above average for the time of year, typically between around 8 and 10 celsius. this relatively quiet spell of weather then lasts, for most of us, through the rest of this week and into the weekend, but then we've got another weather front bringing some rain to western areas as we head into sunday. bye for now.
