For many of us, part one of the weekend has been fine and dry with plenty of sunshine around and a big improvement across the South East of england after fridays wash out. We saw plenty of sunshine, a Little Bit of Fairweather Cloud across much of the country, but it wasnt sunny everywhere. Through the day, certainly later on, Cloudier Skies thanks to a Weather Front pushing into Western Scotland and Northern Ireland and the far South West of england, courtesy of this new Weather Front arriving in gradually as the day wore on. Now, this is going to bring outbreaks of patchy rain as we move through this evening and overnight, into Western Areas initially and then start to spread its way eastwards into central, northern, Southern England and wales. Meanwhile, it will start to dry up a Little Bit with clearer skies in Western Scotland and Northern Ireland by The End of the night. And the far South East as well will also see clear skies with temperatures ranging from 10 13 degrees. Actually quite a mild night. Weve got this ridge of high Pressure Building in for sunday across Western Areas. This Weather Front, though, will be straddling central and eastern parts of the country, so its a bit of a reversal of fortu nes. We will start to see Sunny Skies for sunday across scotland and Northern Ireland and increasingly in western England And West wales. For the rest of England And East wales its going to be rather cloudy thanks to this Weather Front with some showery bursts of rain, and a few heavy downpours likely to be mixed into that as well. Now, with more cloud around, its going to be a Bit Cooler across england and wales, 19 21, and high Teen Celsius across the North West where we will have the best of the sunshine. As we move out of sunday and into monday, that Weather Front weakens as it pushes towards the east, it will leave a legacy of cloud but we have High Pressure dominating the scene, very light winds. So i think its going to be a day of variable cloud and sunny spells, but with that weak Weather Front across eastern areas, likely to destabilise the atmosphere a Little Bit so we could see a few heavy showers developing across the eastern side of the country into the afternoon as temperatures rise. Then again, those temperatures rising, reaching highs of 19 20, 21 or 22 degrees in the warm spots. As we move through this week, High Pressure holds on across the south of the country. These areas of low Pressure Skirt pass the North West and they will bring stronger winds, more cloud and some showery rain at times, particularly to parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. So, cloudier and breezier across northern and Western Areas. Closer to the High Pressure in the south, thats where you will see the best of the sunshine and the warmth.
