a few more showers will keep going, particularly around coastal areas overnight and especially across northeast england, north and east scotland. temperatures about 11 to 14 degrees overnight. and then tomorrow, yeah, it s another showery kind of day. however, as we head into the afternoon, the showers will want to concentrate in one area especially, and that s across eastern england. that s because we ve got one of these convergence zones where the winds bash together. it will concentrate the showers here. but if you re away from that, for example, across wales, western england, parts of northern ireland, west scotland, it should be largely dry tomorrow afternoon with some fairly decent sunshine coming through, but temperatures still a bit below par for the time of year. it s through friday night and into the weekend that we ve got our next batch of really wet weather to come through. also very windy, too. now the heavy rain will initially start off in northern ireland. quite gusty wi
