while it lasts, across many parts of england and wales it will be a fine afternoon with broken cloud and sunshine. lots of cloud across eastern counties at the moment, i hope that will break up to some extent. feeling cool after the chilly start, sixes and sevens but the winds are nothing like as strong as they have been. sunshine in cumbria, brightness and eastern scotland but all the west rain in northern ireland and into western scotland this afternoon. that rain will continue eastwards overnight. a period of snow over the highlands before it turns back to rain. rain will cascade its way down across many areas. reaching. very little reaching southern counties, it will be mostly further north. temperatures will be on the rise here. under clear skies it will be quite a chilly night. tomorrow morning does not look that chilly. lots of rain around the more northern and western areas. it will improve across scotland and northern ireland, things will brighten up through the af
