however, there is more clout than we had yesterday, particularly in scotland, north—east england and the south—westand. we can't rule out the odd light shower as well in the afternoon. much of northern ireland, the midlands, north—west south—west england, should do pretty well in the sunshine. quite breezy as well, especially along north sea coast. temperature is at best around 24 coast. temperature is at best around 2a celsius. any of those showers tend to fizzle out through this evening and overnight than most places will be dry. again we have got quite a breeze across england, wales and northern ireland and that picks up in the south—west bringing a line of heavy showers or thunderstorms. quite a muddy field to the south. a bit fresher further north. on friday things get a bit more interesting. we have got the first of two weather front spreading across england, wales and northern ireland and thundery showers spread northwards. around the irish coast 60 miles an hour gusts and that might cause issues. but a nice fine day for scotland. here we have got the high teens. because of the clouds and th
