the cloud shield should be pushing further north into wales and the midlands as well.o what we saw on tuesday. into the evening, and the rain makes further progress into south wales. perhaps towards hampshire as well. that is making progress because the high pressure is going to slide away into continental europe. at the same time, those weather fronts approaching will be very weak and it is light and patchy rain and drizzle that is going to be affecting perhaps northern ireland, more likely pushing east. there is certainly going to be a lot more cloud around. it is still only 9 or 10 degrees further south, we may get 13 or more. that first weather front very weak and the next weather system has got a bit more about it, that is going to bring a bit more rain, and most of that is going to be tracking its way across wales, the south—west of england probably in the morning and up towards the midlands and the south—east in the afternoon. further north, any rain is very light and patchy and again much of scotland may well be dry. temperatures just creeping up a little bit h

operation midland was the investigation into accusations by carl beech, previously known as nick.is claims led to inquiries into three prominent people. the former conservative mp harvey proctor, a former chief of the defence staff, lord bramhall, and the late conservative former home secretary leon britton. beech‘s allegations were later found to be entirely false, and he was jailed for 18 years. the independent office for police conduct, the iopc, found no evidence of misconduct of the met, but said the investigation revealed gaps and shortcomings. high—profile figures investigated under operation midland have had their reputations disgracefully and unjustly tarnished. and the iopc, whose report was published this morning, has failed miserably to identify the met‘s failures, identify the culpable people, or resolve the issues. but it's notjust the met. other police forces across the country follow policy guidelines automatically believing all allegations brought by complainants, and therefore disbelieving the defendants. and this has damaged the reputations of cliff richard, jim

i am hopeful that the southern counties of england and parts of wales and the midlands and eventuallyt be the prospect further north, sunshine and gusty wind in the south, 16 or 17 or 18 underneath the rain, it will be closer to 12 or 11. through the evening and overnight, push that area of cloud and rain further off into the north sea, bits and pieces left in scotland for some time. then, this weather front has been left in scotland for some time. then, this weatherfront has been in the south for the last few days and it will come back at the same time, a new area of low pressure and associated rain. a bit of a player for the very far west of cornwall. perhaps pembrokeshire and through monday, do you need me to tell you? yes, it will be quite a wet day into northern ireland! between those two areas of cloud and rain, a bit of a neat core. they could be some brightness, quite a lot of proud, as you can imagine, in north—eastern wales and the midlands, northern england, northern and eastern parts of scotland, it could be a half decent day. i'm not sure how far the rain will go that i'm

some of the rain will have eased for the east midlands and the south—east, but don't let your guard downst winds to the south—west and south wales. a few showers drifting through western scotland, north—west england, north wales, and the midlands throughout. but here, generally a lot more in the way of drier and brighter weather compared with what we saw on saturday. a bright day towards the north east. but the north east to the south west, their windy conditions. and temperatures at the levels they should be for the time of year. they will feel cooler down those eastern coast with the wind off the sea. still some rain for a time as we go into sunday evening across central and eastern parts. that will fade away. drier with some mist and fog forming. and then, later in the night, more wet and windy weather arrives back into the west. that will lift temperatures up into the start of monday morning rush hour. a little bit cooler, but at least drier to the east of the country. as we start monday, this is the chart. a big area of low pressure to the south of iceland. it doesn't look great, do
