following the golden week holiday which was last week. you re up to date on things business, news and sport. thank you forjoining me and i hope to see you soon. sunday was a tale of two halves, weather wise. we had nearly 19 degrees and nine hours of sunshine in southern and eastern areas but we had heavy rain and strong winds in northern ireland and scotland. places like tyndrum in stirlingshire had another 40mm or so of rain, adding to what has been a very wet first week of october. in fact, that s not far away it s about three quarters of the average october rainfall and that rain still heading its way southwards. it ll drag its heels before clearing southern and eastern areas, so much milder here overnight. a little bit of mistiness ahead of it. chillier to end the night further north, and still windy, those winds buffeting the northern isles and far north of scotland in particular. that rain giving a lot of spray and standing water on the roads as it continues itsjourney south
