news. hello there. it's looking like thursday is going to be the sunniest day pressure moving in across the country. scotland and northern ireland, but it will stay largely dry and you can see this ridge of high pressure building in across the country, bringing lighter winds, too. after that cold start, temperatures only rise to around 6—8 or nine degrees through the afternoon. so that's how thursday's shaping up. thursday night and into friday, so a bit of a fly in the ointment for friday's weather. it will be cloudier with outbreaks of rain, and we will initially see some

snow on the hills of scotland, north wales, and the pennines as that rain moves into into higher pressure, leaving a legacy of cloud. into northern ireland, wales, southwest england, otherwise, where it's cloudier, six or seven degrees at best. now, as we move out to friday into the weekend, high pressure weather fronts out in the atlantic will try and make inroads where it will be windier here, but it looks and see the best of the sunshine, especially towards the southeast. always a bit more cloud always a bit more cloud towards the north and the west towards the north and the west on saturday, where we have stronger winds, and we'll be up to around ten degrees for belfast. to around ten degrees for belfast. otherwise, for the vast majority we're looking at single digits after a chilly start, with some mist and fog towards more eastern and southeastern areas. towards more eastern and southeastern areas. sunday we start to see this sunday we start to see this weather front move in, weather front move in, but again, it's moving in high pressure so it will start to fizzle out. it will leave a band of cloud to fizzle out. it will leave a band of cloud with just a few showers, with just a few showers, i think, through central areas i think, through central areas

during the course of sunday. during the course of sunday. but again to the east of it will stay dry with some sunshine and it will brighten up to the west of it. temperatures may be a degree or so down — 6—9 celsius. as we head into next week, although there will be a few weatherfronts bringing some rain, for example, on monday night into tuesday, high pressure, i think, will bring a lot of dry, settled weather with some sunshine next week, with cold nights with some patchy mist and fog.
