west of scotland. we could have some thicker cloud and a little bit of drizzle first thing wednesday morning, easing away from south wales and south—west englandg in cloud from time to time, few scattered showers, and keeping those temperatures pegged back to single figures. so a top temperature of nine degrees along east coast, further west we'll see 12 or 13 degrees. now, clear skies will continue through wednesday evening and overnight, and that's going to allow those temperatures to fall away to low single figures. so thursday morning, perhaps a chilly start quite widely across the country. and temperatures low enough in rural areas further north and west for a touch of frost, so gardeners and growers take note. but into thursday, this little weather front here could introduce a slight change. it will certainly bring more in the way of cloud as we go through the latter stages of the morning into the afternoon, and maybe some dribs and drabs of showery rain pushing its way steadily south. so there'll be more cloud a little bit further west, and the temperatures really disappointing for the end of april, 9—13 degrees once again. moving out o

this area of low pressure starts to push in to south west england, affecting parts of the channel islandste so bitterly cold towards those north sea facing coast. but still, the bulk of the showers will be here. a scattering of showers, also some sunny spells, probably sunniest out towards the north and the west again. but temperatures still very low for the time of year, below the average, 8—12 degrees celsius for most of us. things are set to turn a little less cold, though, as we head through the weekend. some milderfeeling air. and it's going to be quite unsettled, tending to be drier in the north and the west. so, if we just look at this low pressure system. it's spinning in from the south. it's going to give plenty of wet weather, particularly towards the south and the east, but also some milder feeling conditions. temperatures will rise to more or less the seasonal average. so certainly no heat wave. here's the temperature outlook for our capital cities as we head through the weekend and into the start of next week. so not as cold, but really quite showery. bye— bye. welcome to new

and that weather front is producing some patchy light rain and some drizzle extending from south west england the odd shower across parts of south—east scotland, but brightening up across much of scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon. and this is where we'll have the highest temperatures, 16 degrees in glasgow, we're looking at ten or 11 in london and norwich. the average in the far southeast is 1a or 15. now through this evening and overnight, this is the weather front, still producing some patchy light rain and drizzle. behind that, though, the skies do clear, it's going to be a cold night once again, colder in the north than last night, a little bit milder under all this cloud in the southeast than last night. so a real change in fortunes. as we head through tomorrow, we still have this weather front draped across southern areas, producing cloud and patchy light rain, the clearance in the sky especially out towards the west. so we hang onto quite a lot of cloud in parts of the southeast through the day, but brightening up southwest england, wales, northern england, scotland a
