aberdeen. not a bad day on the thermometer, the ideal conditions for many. but this evening and overnight, this is the low pressure swelling around just to the west, north—west of ireland. and notice the showers piling into western scotland and some of these western areas at eight o'clock in the morning on saturday. towards the east from newcastle, norwich, sunshine greets you in the morning and temperatures will be around 16 degrees. here comes the breeze with the low pressure pushing in the showers. again, not persistent rain, but we could catch one or two after the other. but lengthy spells of sunshine and decent enough along the south coast of england. but almost anywhere, i think sunny spells and showers. sunday, the low pressure is still with us. the breeze will ease a little bit. and you are more likely to catch the showers in the north—west of the country, meaning the north—west of england, much of england and the further east and south east you are, the better the weather will be. this is monday, that low pressure is still with us. it doesn't look l

temperature wise, we are looking at 19 degrees in aberdeen, 23 in norwich and in london. weak area of high pressure building its way in. that will settle things down to some extent. underneath that high we could see some dense fog patches to start, particularly around western parts of england, wales and northern ireland. some of that fog taking a while to clear, but it should do quite readily through the morning. then some sunny spells, a chance of one or two showers, but signs of something perhaps a bit warmer developing down towards the south—east. it looks like we will see some warmer weather later in the week. it is going to be quite a warm week generally across much of continental europe, and as we move through on into the start of friday we will start to develop a south easterly breeze, bringing some of that warmer air our way. butjust how warm it gets depends on the progress of this frontal system swinging in from the atlantic because that is going to bring cloud and some heavy rain northwards and eastwards. before that arrives, it looks like temperatures will, for

the temperature's a little on the fresh side in aberdeen, eight degrees, but for most of us around 12nd parts of central england, but then it looks as though the clouds should break up, there will be some sunshine around and tomorrow overall a similar day. the temperatures will be similar, around 19 or 20 in the north, typically the mid 20s across the south. a low pressure, be it a weak one, is in charge of the weather on thursday. the winds aren't going to be particularly strong with this weak area of low pressure, but there is a fair amount of cloud spinning around across western and north western scotland, so some showers here. there could be a few showers elsewhere, as well. that warmth is starting to contract to the extreme east and the south—east there, so 25, whereas in glasgow we're talking about 17. i think, in the days ahead, the temperatures will pretty much stabilise in the north of the country, so about 18 for edinburgh and belfast, but in london it will cool off from 25 into the low 20s. that's it from me. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. breaking news, two
