record, since 1916 but it looks as if that will be pip today. 15.8 yesterday and the reason is because we have these warm winds coming off the atlantic from down towards the tropics. that wind direction will change slightly over the next couple of days but for today we are in the same feed of air with weather fronts and a narrow band of rain but low pressure still with us. that is all tightening back to isobars meaning it is windy out there today despite being mild. this is the band of rain that i think we will see crossing to scotland but also england and wales, the western areas this morning, eastern areas this afternoon. a narrow band so no more than an hour orso narrow band so no more than an hour or so of rain for the but most of us but the odd run by the thunder and there will be quite a lot of dry and sunny weather as well. we've not seen a lot of sunshine in the last week or two, have we? there was a glimpse yesterday but with the south—westerly wind, 50, 16 on the cards today and windier for scotland and northern ireland with girls around coasts and hills here today. windier than yesterday. overnight
