accompanied by a battle of britain fly—past as it travelled through her home village of ditchling in east sussexite there being more sunshine around across the uk as a whole today, there were some pretty hefty showers across northern and eastern parts of the country. behind me, you can see the heavy shower clouds there in redcar and cleveland, some rumbles of thunder heard, but through tonight, most of the showers will fade away as the pressure continues to build. as the winds turn light with a cooler air mass under the clear skies, turning quite chilly. high pressure continues to build in. it kills off the showers, which will eventually fizzle away, leaving clear skies with barely any cloud. there will be a bit more cloud across the north and west of scotland. here, a bit more of a breeze, one or two showers at times, but elsewhere, it will be drier and much cooler as well. lows of six to nine degrees quite widely. pretty cool for the time of the year. so into the weekend, looks like high—pressure dominating so plenty of dry and sunny weather around, with light winds, and it will be dry for mos

accompanied by a battle of britain flypast as it travelled through her home village of ditchling in east sussexd hello. if you were hoping to stay during friday, in many parts of the uk, the weather had a different idea. there were some heavy downpours to be dodged, and actually, over the last few days, you can see on the satellite picture all these different clumps of cloud that have worked through, bringing outbreaks of rain. but now, a gap appearing between the clouds. an area of high pressure building its way just in time for the weekend. that means it is looking dry for the vast majority. there will be some areas of patchy cloud with one or two showers, but most places will be fine with some spells of sunshine. saturday morning getting off to a rather chilly start. some spots down in single digits, but through the day, we're looking at long spells of sunshine. i think we'll see a bit of patchy clouds tending to bubble up as the day wears on. look closely, there may be one or two showers in northwest england, northern ireland and scotland. even in these areas, the majority will stay dry. a

brighter through today, as has southern england, the far south of wales too, but that was the coast of east sussexn england will keep cloud, will keep some showery rain, northern ireland brightening up with some sunshine, 20 degrees there in belfast, but the cloud and patchy rain extends across southern and central portions of scotland. to the north of scotland though, caithness and sutherland into orkney and shetland, you will hold onto spells of sunshine for the rest of the day. as we head through this evening and tonight, we keep a supply of cloud rolling in from the atlantic and some slightly heavier bursts of rain returning into northern ireland, perhaps north west england, north west wales by the end of the night. but with all of that cloud around, it is not going to be a cold night by any stretch, in fact for belfast and liverpool, temperatures will get no lower than 15 degrees. tomorrow, again lots of cloud across much of the uk, the wettest weather moving from northern ireland to northern england, seven scotland, some showery rain pushing through wales, the south—west and into the midland

we could pick up down in the south—east are hard to see them, some sharper showers in the afternoon, particularly in sussext, some rumbling into the evening. this evening and overnight, cloud for all, some more rain in scotland, clear in northern ireland somewhat, putting into northern england, wales and the south—west by the end of the night. a lot of moisture and humidity, pretty misty and murky around the coasts and across the hills on thursday. any early brightness might be best in eastern england, probably quite short lived, the cloud again the dominant feature for wednesday. temperatures held back by a couple of degrees from where they should be for this time of year, were talking high teens, may be 20 at best. thursday brings a slightly better chance of some spells of sunshine, but equally the further south and east you are but there was a more organised line of cloud trying to get into the north—west. is a cold weather front bringing some rain into the far north—west of scotland later on but further south, a little warmer than perhaps today but this front, a cold front, working southwards, but ital
