but for now, from me, rajan datar, and everyone else standing at a safe social distance from me herey for a while overnight. temperatures could be close to freezing for a while before the weather then starts to change. we've got all this cloud coming in from the atlantic, replacing the clearer skies. and the main driver is an area of low pressure and these weather fronts. and they will bring some rain into western areas and then that rain will move northwards and eastwards through the day and the winds pick up too. as we get the wetter weather arriving in northern ireland, wales and the south—west, temperatures here will be much higher by morning, but with some clear skies ahead of that, away from the north—east of scotland, it will be quite a bit chillier. as we head through the morning though, this cloud will quickly move northwards and eastwards and it will bring with it some outbreaks of rain. some heavier rain moving northwards through the midlands into northern england, into scotland, during the afternoon. some more rain coming into the south—west and wales, and then we see sun
