for england and wales, temperatures have not yet got above 18 degrees celsius.r when we've had to wait this long for temperatures higher than that across england and wales. but that may be about to change. over the next few days, some warmer air pushes its way northwards. the one place that won't get an awful lot warmer is the far north of scotland. so, through the rest of the week, we will see some spells of rain through the day ahead, and then it turns warmer for many into the start of the weekend, albeit still with some scattered showers, some decent dry weather as well. but for thursday, a couple of different frontal systems, this one pushing in from the southwest, this one just easing its way in towards the western side of scotland. so two different areas of rain, really. this one grazing the north coast of northern ireland and then pushing its way eastwards and north eastwards across scotland, maybe some snow over the highest ground here. and then this area of wet weather pushing in across the south west of england, some of that rain will then get up into
