but for now from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. hello there. in force. but to the south of that weather front, we've seen some exceptional warmth, and that's down to the wind direction. 18 was the warmest day of the year so far on wednesday, but we won't see a repeat of that despite the weather settling down because we lose that strong south—westerly and we pick up a brisk westerly wind across the atlantic. so, slightly cooler direction which will push in showers through the day ahead, some heavy showers as well. and our weather front is present further south, so very different complexion to the weather here. there could be some heavier bursts of rain, and it'll certainly be a much greyer, damper start across many southern, central and eastern parts of england. could be a little bit misty over the tops of the hills, and as i say, there could be some heavier pulses of rain working their way eastwards. might even linger in kent and essex until the evening, but much brighter skies further north. and then we run into the brisk westerly wind and lot

but for now, from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. hello there. the weather across the uk. we started the week with heavy rain, particularly in the far north and west. then wednesday brought the warmest day of the year so far with temperatures peaking at 18 celsius. a little bit fresher for thursday, yes, but still highs of 12 or 13 degrees — that's above average for late february. all the warmth, however, has moved its way over to the near continent and a change of wind direction — a fresher westerly — meant that fresher feel to thursday's weather but again, those temperatures are still pretty good for late february. it does, however, mean that clear skies by day will lead to clear skies through the night, so we are going to see quite a chilly start to our friday morning. at dawn, those temperatures will be hovering around orjust below freezing in a few places. the only exception, the far north and west. a weak weather front toppling across high pressure will introduce a little more in the way of cloud, but it's all going to be about this high ov
