Ireland and southern scotland. Very mild for england and wales, as it was last night. A bit chilly ahead of that rain in central and northern parts of scotland, where we will see some early sunshine, but that wet weather is going to move northwards into scotland and continue to affect Northern Ireland. Whilst we will see some sunshine across england and wales, there will be bands of showers moving across from the west. Ahead of that with some sunshine, temperatures will be higher than today. 16 degrees in east anglia and the south east, possibly 17. It will be cooler in the north where we have rain.
