that's come our way over the last couple of weeks, things for the next few days look a good deal quieter. but a fair amount of cloud. as this ridge of high pressure builds in behind it. of cloud as well across central and eastern england, the best sunshine, i think, through the day will be found northern ireland. lots of sunshine through the afternoon,

now, during friday night there could be some mist and murk around as well, and another zone of cloud pushing in for some on saturday morning. to push in from the west, this really is the setup for the weekend. towards the west cloud will be rolling its way in this area of high pressure. and on into sunday, and either side of that weather

front — northern ireland, for example, northwest scotland, also central and eastern england — and in that sunshine, temperatures like these seven, around once again. some rain at times, particularly up towards but many places seeing some decent spells of sunshine.
