more cloud for northern ireland, more in the way of showers for scotland. much improved for the far west of wales. the far south—west of england and tending into saturday we had all the cloud and a bit of rain as well. a dry day in prospect here for the greater part of england and wales. although, as we drift back across the irish sea towards northern ireland, more cloud here, possibly a passing spot of rain. there will be a lot more about the showers and longer spells of rain once we come to the heart of central and western scotland. the wind will eventually ease down from that gale force across the northern isles with the wind an everpresent feature for much of scotland for much of the day. come the evening and the first part of the night, some of the showers in the north could turn just a wee bit thundery. through monday we just drag this weather front down and across the british isles. in fact, it will link up as a band of cloud back to something brewing in the atlantic. in its western portion, it has something about it to be producing some cloud, rain
