There could be a bit more sunshine then in recent mornings, across parts of north wales, North Midlands and into northern portions of east anglia. Further south, grey skies once again to start the day. Maybe the odd spot of rain. Most will be dry, feeling cool in that breeze, even though we start the day with the hiest of the temperatures. Elsewhere, under the sunshine, the temperatures will pick up the most. There will be a bit more sunshine across southern area, breaking through the cloud at times, through friday but cloud will return towards east anglia and the south east later, Menaing A Greyer end to the day but at least we should see one or two more glimpses of sunshine than we have done of late.
