that is all from our sustainability special from babcock ranch here in florida.ve on twitter at @bbcclick. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. for many of us, not a pretty picture today. a lot of rain out there. a really overcast, grey day to come with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times. and also some strong winds, particularly across western and southern areas and even quite breezy inland, too. this is what it looks like at lunchtime, quite a wide weather front, that means a lot of us getting rainfall through this afternoon. and cool as well, temperatures mostly in the teens, mid or low teens in the north. notice that in the west of the country, later in the afternoon, the weather will improve. so some of us in the west will have some sunshine towards the end of the day. and then overnight, that weather front is well out in the north sea, so the sky is clear. it won't be particular cold, 15 in london, ten or 11 across the north. the good news is, if you want some sunshine, bank holiday monday is looking a lot more promising, just a few showers around

and that is it for our sustainability special from babcock ranch, here in florida.e you soon. good afternoon. it is not a bank holiday everywhere today, but in those places where it is, i think this is the day when the weekend redeems itself weather—wise. after the rain yesterday which was brought by this area of cloud, that has slid away to the north east. still a fair amount of cloud feeding in on a westerly breeze and some showers around, but if you are lucky, some spells of sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. and through this week, we will not see an awful lot of rain and it will be warmer than it has been over the last couple of days. three the rest of the afternoon, generally fairly large areas of cloud, but sunny spells and drizzly showers are especially affecting western areas. temperatures, eastern parts of scotla nd temperatures, eastern parts of scotland with brightness, 18 degrees, maybe 19 in parts of central areas. cloud big enough to give drizzle at at times and a similar story across north west england, wales, perhaps the south—west. but the clou

that is all from our sustainability special from babcock ranch here in florida. week we fly up to boston, home of mit, which always offers up 20 very, very cool innovations. thank you for watching, and we will see you soon. good morning. there's a lot of fine weather to be had across the british isles today. most of us will start the day sunny and although a little bit of cloud will develop as the hours go by, we will remain fine. a few showers possible, though, in the west. one thing to note, though, when you are heading out the door is that it will be quite a cool start, thanks to the clear skies overnight. some of the scottish glens, the north—east of england, where you see the pale green there behind me, could be just three or four degrees at the day gets under way. but the sunshine will get to work quickly and that will help temperatures to recover. a bit of cloud bubbling up through the day, turning the sunshine hazy, giving the odd light shower in the west. but, eventually, temperatures peaking in the high teens to the north of the uk and in the low 20s fu
