my thanks to tim stanley, and now it is time for the weather with philip.t is almost been a decent day of weather. this is the scene into the eastern end of kent, and a little bit further towards the west. a lot of cloud around, and quite a noticeable wind. but, we are looking away towards the west, where we have a lwa ys away towards the west, where we have always done that already seen the first signs of cloud and rain. that weather front gradually making it way across the aisles. and, given that it has been so—called across many areas, as that rain falls, onto some pretty cold surfaces, there will be a bit of an issue with eyes and untreated surfaces in the first pa rt and untreated surfaces in the first part of saturday. saturday, i'm afraid, is shaping up to be one of those days. not an awful lot of rain across the bar east of east anglia, but around about the middle part of the day, this is how it is shaping up. perhaps, the latest fringes of scotland, and something a little bit brighter. similar sort of poster out for northern ireland, as well. and t
