A front sweeps southeastward across the country, brining a band of rain to most, showers and bright spells follow in the west.

Good morning,

This morning, a front is draped north-to-south over Scotland and down the west coast of Britain. This front will slowly move east, brining rain to nearly all areas of Britain, finally reaching the southeast of England later in the day. Behind the front, the showery regime continues with frequent showers into Ireland and Scotland, often heavy with a risk of hail near western coasts. Once the primary front has passed, the northeast of Scotland will see drier and brighter weather. Bright spells will break out with time as well in northern England and Wales, though again, always a risk of showers near the coast and sometimes pushing inland. Highs will reach up to 6 or 7C in the north, to 11C in the south; the far southwest may rise up to 13C.

The front will clear away from southeast England into nighttime, and we're right back to the showery westerly regime. Western areas will be plagued by showers all night, which may become wintry down to even some lower elevations, in addition to the hail in the far north. Again, eastern areas stay driest with clear sky spells, a few odd showers slipping further east across southern England due to the still-strong westerly wind. Lows of 0 to 2C for many, frosts will be common in many upland areas. Southwest England and western Ireland milder at 5C.

Have a good day!
