stunning weather there in east anglia, the midlands and northern england. but in other parts, this is wales and in the south, it has been overcast with drizzle. it is all or nothing today and later on this afternoon some heavy showers will develop across parts of midlands and they will be hit and miss, so the situation where one town or city gets a down pour and you drive 20 miles down the road and there is nothing. there is this area of cloud. most of that is hazy skies. some of the clouds will be developing over the coming hours to produce down pour. you see a lot of green land where the sun is. where the sun is prolonged, ifeels spectacular with temperatures up to 19 celsius around merseyside. tonight, where we have the clear skies, it will be nippy. so the contrast from the high teens. still some showers continuing. 0n contrast from the high teens. still some showers continuing. on tuesday, notice this is the jet stream driving weather systems. there is not a lot happening us with, apart from a stubborn area of cloud and rain and the odd down pour possi
