for example, in north wales in denbighshire.rees. now, we've had extensive cloud across the north west for both scotland and northern ireland. here, a slow—moving weather front has a bringing rain through thursday. more rain to come overnight into friday, friday night and into saturday, as well, for some across scotland and northern ireland cos this front is barely budging. furthersouthwards, well, we've got quite a bit of cloud reforming, some mist and fog patches turning quite dense. as well as that, there's a bit of drizzle around. so, quite a murky start to the day for many in england and wales, with that mist and fog and low cloud slow to thin a break. but eventually, come the afternoon, we should start to get some brighter weather through. the exception, well, for northern ireland and scotland, there's more rain here, heaviest in argyll and highland. and we've got a very weak weather front moving into east anglia and south east england. that willjust thicken the cloud up enough to bring occasional spots of light rain or dr

picture, with the rain pretty extensive and heavy across scotland, northern england, getting into north wales patches of rain across the south of wales and south—west england as well, leaving across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england largely dry. a fair bit of dry weather for the north of scotland over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on sunday. 11 to 30 degrees widely, a legacy of cool and clinging on across the parts of northern scotland, where it should be a bright start. but otherwise, extensive cloud to start the day on sunday, the rain initially heavy in scotland, but turning lighter and and patchier pretty quickly through the morning. but i think across northern ireland, scotland and northern england, these areas will be prone to some spots of rain even into the afternoon, so for some it will stay on the damp side. but at the same time, we should start to see some gaps in the cloud opening out in the south, with a few sunny spells in southern england, southern wales and the south midlands. for monday, we're going to start to get some stronger south—westerly winds

that rain mainly affecting north wales, northwest england, could push back into parts of northern ireland rain band, it should be brightening up. a little bit of sunshine coming through, still quite windy, but very mild. temperatures getting up to 18 celsius. now, looking at the rain fall accumulation during wednesday and thursday. i want to highlight the areas that will see the happiest of the rain. these are these bright colours here. it looks like it's going to be particularly wet in the southern uplands, but also into cumbria, and that could lead to some because that rain is still around on thursday, it may turn a bit drier across some northwestern parts of scotland and also northern ireland as the rainjust pivots into more of england and wales. through the midlands, much of eastern england, it's likely to still be dry and with a bit of sunshine, those temperatures again reaching 18 celsius. so, a lot going on over the next few days or so. it's going to be quite windy. the winds are going to be in from the southwest, which is why it is going to be so mild, but as we have seen, there w

some rents are coming into the afternoon across eastern scotland, northern england and north wales, butabove average the time of year, as they have been in the last couple of days. we are pulling a lot of very warm air out from a good way south in the atlantic, essentially tropical air. here goes this band of rain through the afternoon, sinking across eastern scotland into northern england and wales, perhaps a few showers for the south—west is immense in here. degrees, to the rear of it warm for scotland and northern ireland but the weather front is a marker between the very warm air to the south and air more typical of that we are sitting in at this time of year coming in from the north—west. perhaps chilly weather as winds fall light across some of the scottish glens by the end of the night. here goes the front throughout the weekend, weakening on its way across the uk because high pressure is trying to squeeze in from the west so across southern and eastern england first thing on sunday, maybe a bit of drizzle, some cloud but it will brighten and a much brighter start for scotland an

as i say, there has been some sunshine, northern east wales, northern england, the far north of scotlande we're starting to see some breaks in the cloud in kent. that's behind a very weak cold front. this stripe of cloud you can see here, that's important, because behind that, the air turns cooler and fresher. it will tend to kill off the cloud across east anglia, across parts of the midlands and central southern england overnight, leaving a few mist and fog patches across southwest england, wales and northern england. outbreaks of rain turning heavier for northern ireland and into western scotland where we could see some areas of localised surface water flooding, particularly in parts of highland. now, through saturday, this weather front that's been with us for ages is starting to pull away from northern ireland and scotland, eventually through the afternoon bringing a bit of rain to the far north of northern england and north wales. most of england having much more in the way of sunshine compared with recent days. and the weather improving certainty across northern ireland and western

that rain mainly affecting north wales, northwest england, could push back into parts of northern ireland up to 18 celsius. now, looking at the rain fall accumulation during wednesday and thursday, i want to highlight the areas that will see the heaviest of the rain. these are these bright colours here. it looks like it�*s going to be particularly wet in the southern uplands, but also into cumbria, and that could lead to some flooding. because that rain is still around on thursday, it may turn a bit drier across some northwestern parts of scotland and also northern ireland, as the rain just pivots into more of england and wales. through the midlands and much of eastern england, it�*s likely to still be dry, and with a bit of sunshine, those temperatures again reaching 18 celsius. so, a lot going on over the next few days or so. it�*s going to be quite windy. the winds, though, are going to be in from the southwest, which is why it�*s going to be so mild, but as we�*ve seen, there will be some rain around, mainly for the western side of the uk, and that will be heavy in the hills. this is

and then towards the end of the night, we'll see that rain pushing into the midlands, north wales ande figures. behind it, here's a clue of what's to come — temperatures in single figures, much colder air moving in, some pockets of frost to the north first thing friday. and that colder air flushes all the way south through the day on friday, with perhapsjust the exception of the far southwest of england. so friday, much more in the way of sunshine, the day looking a whole lot brighter, but i think you will notice the chillier feel. the southwest of england likely to be warmest. in some areas, temperatures will come down through the day. as the cloud breaks, the weather front pulls away, but the colder air ushers in. top temperatures, well, widely around 13 or 14, perhapsjust eight there in aberdeen. clear skies overnight friday into saturday. we'll see a patchy frost to start saturday, but then i think a decent day for many. particularly in the east, there should be some spells of sunshine. towards the west, cloud trying to encroach, and i think we will see that bearing some rain on t
