thank you to mo hussein and shyama perera. enjoy your sunday hello, hello, everyone. we have an area of low pressure here and this weather front — now the weather front will bring clouds and some rain in the low pressure, bringing some stormy conditions to northern parts later. but it's also the vehicle which is helping draw up this much milder air from the south. and i think many of us will feel that as we head through the day. that is the weather front perched across northern ireland into the north of england, then moving northwards into scotland as we head through the day. further south, areas that saw quite a lot of rain in places yesterday should be drier, a bit of brightness as well. some mist and fog lingering for a time across parts of wales and southern parts, i think. but we could see some hill fog elsewhere, top temperatures, a bit of a contrast, 13 or iii celsius for many of us towards further north, the very far north of scotland and northern ireland, about seven or eight celsius. let's return to the pressure chart. and there's that area of low pressure t
