the weather has caused a lot of disruption over the past few days with relentless, heavy rain. still lots of flood warnings in force. the weather is going to be improving over the next few days, it s going to be drier and colder but it will take several days for those floodwaters to fully recede. so, the satellite image shows this curl of cloud that brought all the wet weather yesterday and overnight, too. it is clearing gradually towards the east, so low pressure starting to move away from eastern england, this area of low pressure close to the north east of scotland. so, not completely dry out there today, more rain for northern and eastern scotland, rain clearing from norfolk and kent. a few more showers for western areas coming in on that north westerly breeze. generally, more sunshine for northern and western parts of the uk, whereas towards the south and east you are more likely to keep the cloud. and temperatures somewhere between four to 10 degrees north to south. and then thro
evening and tonight, the cloud and rain start to clear away for most, it does stay a bit cloudy in the east. but lighter winds, clearer skies so the recipe for quite a cold night. could be a bit of frost and some mist and fog patches for some. whereas towards the east of england i think you lljust keep that low cloud, so probably just about frost free here, but a chilly start to saturday for most of us. the mist and frost and fog patches clear away from northern ireland, parts of scotland and wales as well. a few showers still for coastal parts of the irish sea, for instance, whereas further east you ve still got the odd spot of light rain coming out of this cloud, but much, much drier thankfully than it has been. and temperatures a little cool under the cloud, five to 7 degrees there towards the east, but up to about nine in the sunnier skies towards the west. and then good news as we head through sunday, as high pressure, very welcome area of high pressure builds across the uk. so sq
showers, and particularly for central and eastern parts of england, some of the showers will be happy and possibly thundery. 22 in the southeast corner, cooler further north and west. at reading and leeds forfestival goers, i think some showers will be in the forecast but they will be some spells of sunshine in between. and as we go through saturday night it is actually going to be quite a cool and fresh affair, some showers will continue, particularly in western areas, temperatures even in the towns and cities down to 9 or 10 degrees. and then we will see a band of cloud and rain start to push in across northern ireland. this will make very slow progress eastwards, it s also going to peter out as it goes, so just turning cloudy and damp for northern ireland. elsewhere, sunny spells and showers but the showers should be a little bit less intense by this stage. temperatures north to south 1a 21, maybe 22 in the southeast. for the notting hill carnival on sunday, a chance for a shower, i
will continue, particularly in western areas, temperatures even in the towns and cities down to 9 or 10 degrees. and then we will see a band of cloud and rain start to push in across northern ireland. this will make very slow progress eastwards, it s also going to peter out as it goes, so just turning cloudy and damp for northern ireland. elsewhere, sunny spells and showers but the showers should be a little bit less intense by this stage. temperatures north to south 14 21, maybe 22 in the southeast. for the notting hill carnival on sunday, a chance for a shower, i think there should be some lengthy dry gaps in between any showers, and monday looks like being a largely dry day, because this area of high pressure is going to try to build in. so monday, which is a bank holiday for most of us of course, looks a mostly dry day there will be one or two showers, some spells of sunshine too, and temperatures in the high teens or low 20s.
