needed it, mind you, and it wasn't the whole story either. there was also some blue sky and sunshine. this from the scene from a weather watcher in worcestershire during the afternoon. to the weekend, we keep a mixed bag, some dry weather, some wet weather but high pressure quite close by on saturday so it will give a decent amount of dry weather, especially across england and wales where there will be spells of sunshine and a small chance of a shower but more cloud into northern ireland through the morning, some outbreaks of rain with the rain then splashing into western scotland in the afternoon, northern and eastern parts of scotland seeing showers but should hold onto a bit of brightness, lifting temperatures in aberdeen to 17 and south, highs of 21 in london. through saturday night, we will be between this warm front and this cold front, we call it a warm sector and it often brings a lot of mist and murk and low cloud and it will be the case i think on saturday morning. in the warm sector, we all have slightly warmer air so temperatures will be a little bit higher on sunday. this is the detailfor sunday, mr bit higher on sunday. this is the detail for sunday, mr and merc and low cloud for hills and coast in the west, lots of rain with it, you're unlikely to put into north—west scotland and maybe northern ireland. the best of the sometime towards the south and east where we will seek higher temperatures of 22 or 23. it looks like it will call down though as we head into monday. what a complex picture for monday with some frontal systems pushing from the north—west, this one trying to work up from the south, introducing possibly showers towards the south—east corner and elsewhere, some hefty perhaps thundery downpours in between those downpours in between those downpours go there will be some spells of sunshine but the lower temperatures, 13— 18 degrees. it's actually around where we should be for the time of year. moving into tuesday, these various weather fronts dancing around the uk. they may change positions, compared with this forecast, edging closer to the time but it's hard to be precise about the details at this stage. on tuesday, i think we have a fighting chance of seeing dry weather and spells of sunshine, still with a scattering of showers, and temperatures between 13 and 18. into wednesday, it does not look like we will see a frontal system approaching from the west. this one moving across some parts of the uk bringing up some parts of the uk bringing up bags of rain, some heavy burst likely across northern england, scotland and northern ireland. maybe not as much rain further south. some spells of sunshine in between the showers and the show is still in the range of 13— 18 degrees. moving towards the end of the week, it looks as if high pressure will start to take a bit more control of our weather, drifting up from the south. the big question is aboutjust how far north area of high pressure gets. frontalsystems far north area of high pressure gets. frontal systems may could bring some rain into northern parts of the uk. as the area of high pressure wobbles its way northward, it is likely to introduce something a little bit warmer. i don't think we are talking about a heatwave or anything but temperatures may be claiming a little from the values we will see at the beginning of the week. as we look towards the end of next week and the following weekend, turning dry for many is the high pressure builds. a little warmer but still the chance of some rain, especially up towards the north. bye for now. this is bbc news. i'm rich preston. our top stories: russia intensifies its attacks on ukraine's donbas region as its forces advance on the battlefield in the south and east of the
