john cunliffe went on to create rosie and jim in the 1990s. time for a look at the weather... here's helen willetts after last week's storms it's been much quieter. there have been interesting temperature contrasts. we've seen very little variation gci’oss we've seen very little variation across the northern half of the country in the last couple of days because we've been sat under a cloud but now that the nights are getting longer somewhere further south such as exeter, temperatures fell within as exeter, temperatures fell within a degree of freezing last night, plenty of sunshine is following and temperatures leaping up now and it feels warm under the sunshine. but that blanket of cloud in the north is giving us some rain and it is starting to progress further southwards, so i think as we go towards the end of today and overnight all of us will get into this colder north—westerly air, which means that it will be notably chillier. we will need the extra layer by the time we get tomorrow, not just layer by the time we get tomorrow, notjust in the morning but all day. for the

john rentoul and rachel cunliffe will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers.he same cannot be said in the mediterranean where we have had an intense area of low pressure and red weather warning over much of greece as the storm system hits. there has been severe flooding already and the rain will continue through the night, so a developing weather story. the weather has been quite for most of us. a lot of sunshine through the day—to—day. we have a cold front, this treat of cloud ringing rain to the far north of scotland, that works southwards and as it runs into an area of high pressure in the south of the uk, the front will weaken into a lump of cloud. quite a bit of cloud across central portions of the uk but in the south and across east anglia, temperatures down to two or three celsius in the coldest spots in the country. on sunday, a cold weak front, working through sunday. behind the cold front, the air turns cooler, it was day gusty across western parts of the country as well. the brisk northwesterly winds will bring showers into north and western areas o
