for a chilly night, a touch of frost around in many areas, and a sharp frost across the far north of england has built up during the day, and the cloud is breaking up now so the skies clearing and temperatures will dip away. for a time, around late evening and into the early hours of tuesday, we could have thicker cloud and showers across the east, east anglia and the south east. other than that, it is clear and this is the frost developing across the north, these obvious that he temperatures. general areas and that the south, close to freezing or below which had not come as a surprise to get across this time of year. but with blacking up this could be damaging to some plans and even crops “— could be damaging to some plans and even crops —— but it is worth flagging up that this could be damaging. weather looking beautiful, chilly with light winds and strong sunshine already. 11—5 across the southin sunshine already. 11—5 across the south in wales. the north west as north coast of northern ireland and western scotland, thickening cloud through the morning, into the afternoon a very weak weat
