very little in the way of cloud, i suspect, all the way from cornwall and devon, the isle of wight andy. look at these temperatures. to the north of that, the cloud starts across the midlands and wales, northern england, northern ireland. across scotland, these areas, northern scotland, these areas, northern scotland, inverness, aberdeenshire, perhaps some sunshine and temperatures could exceed 10 degrees. because the higher pressure on top of us is not budging and doing much, the weather will not do much. it stays cloudy across much of the uk. the cloud will persist and the uk. the cloud will persist and the mild weather, where we have that gentle stream of air coming off the near continent, it will stay cold and frosty for places like portsmouth, london, and just about into norwich as well. tomorrow, more of the same. the weather is stalled. a few glimmers of brightness in the north—eastern areas of scotland. maybe in the north east of scotland cloud will break up from time to time. on thursday it will feel less cold in the south. temperatures back up cold in the south. temperatures

you can see that slither of brightness from east anglia all the way down to the isle of wight, but for ten or 11 celsius, that's how it's going to stay. no change in the temperature for you here. it sometimes happens in the winter. the same goes for northern ireland, around ten or 11 celsius and across most of england and wales, it will be around seven to nine celsius. there will be some drizzle and thick cloud around and a bit of mist and fog maybe hovering around in one or two hilly areas across the north. look at that, east anglia and london and the south east all the way to southampton should get sunshine, but only around four or five celsius after that frosty start. there is anotherfrost or five celsius after that frosty start. there is another frost on the way this coming night. again, across this part of the country the maybe a larger area waking up to frost this morning. it could be as far south as south—western england, but to the north of that, it stays mild, newcastle at seven celsius, not far off that in belfast and in glasgow. wednesday, itself is looking chilly again acro

yesterday we had a lot of cloud in the isle of wight, this was a weather watcher picture.e cloudy skies today, a band of rain working northwards across england, wales, scotla nd northwards across england, wales, scotland and rain for northern ireland but it shouldn't last too long here. through the day the only thing to watch out for is we could see some of the rain falling as snow in the higher ground in scotland, around 300 metres elevation for the most pa rt around 300 metres elevation for the most part but we could have io in this part of the world first thing. by this part of the world first thing. by the time we get to the afternoon the rain will ease of in eastern england and southern wales, the sky is brighter, a few showers coming in but look at these temperatures. nine in london and sixes and sevens in the midlands and northern england. in northern ireland, brightening up nicely, a few showers here but in scotla nd nicely, a few showers here but in scotland and the far north of england the rain will be reluctant to ease and here it will stay cold at around four.

towns and cities across the uk, from london, edinburgh and cardiff to aberystwyth and the isle of wight kind of crowd you're seeing gavin, what do you make of it? this protest is not due to start until six o'clock but for the last hour, dozens of people have started to gather, as you can see, there are plenty of placards behind me as people gather together to share their frustration. i have been having a chat with many people in the crowds here. one person who isa in the crowds here. one person who is a student said he has never protested before but once the ban was announced by president trump, he said that was the final straw for him. there is deep frustration as well when you talk to protesters in the crowd about the reaction to this policy from theresa may stub lots of people wanting to their voices heard here. it has all been organised within the last 48 hours by elin jones, a columnist who decided to lodge a facebook page —— went. more than 23,000 people said they were going to come. you can already get a sense that thousands of people are going to come out. there is a strong poli

might actually see a decent amount of sunshine here, anywhere from about here down to the isle of wights we will keep it mild across the greater part of scotland and northern ireland. i will show you the direction of travel of this from the direction of travel of this from the atlantic in just a second. into the atlantic in just a second. into the south—eastern quarter, it is not just monday and tuesday that will be on the cool side by day and night, but this is your daytime maximum, we suspect, for somewhere across the south—east. the reason for this is you are not getting your error from the atlantic at all but are tapping in to something cooler here, certainly prevailing across the greater part of the continent and thatis greater part of the continent and that is not just moscow but also madrid —— cooler air, and some of that never has been displaced by the milder air are slumping in from the atlantic. this is the setup for wednesday. this front is really quite weak so there are bits and pieces of rain around but essentially a lot of dry weather. but again that is in the south—easter

as we come into south england from the south—west, through the isle of wight, towards kent, most of easthe north—west. for northern ireland this morning cloudy again. it is mild for the time of year. across most of wales it is cloudy. through the course of the day we hang on to the sunshine across southern areas. more cloud coming in from the north sea, so it would be gentler. breaks developing in west wales and in the shelter of the hills. the same in northern ireland. the shelter of the hills, the shelter of the pennines and grampians, we are likely to see sunshine. temperatures coming down from the north. today you will notice a bit of a difference and certainly over the next few days as well. into this evening and overnight under clear skies again it will be called, temperatures dropping quickly. —— will be cold. again shallow mist and fog patches. the same for north—east scotland, where we hang on to clearer skies. for the rest of the uk it won‘t be frosty. so we start off tomorrow with again the sunshine where we lose the fog. but we have more of that spread northwards into wales.
