Frontal bands around the British Isles bring cloud and rain to most, the rain most persistent over Ireland and increasingly scattered eastward.

Good morning,

A frontal boundary drifted over Ireland overnight, so the morning will be wet here. The rain will likely persist well into the day, though the front is weakening and will struggle to push further east into Britain. Here, a southerly breeze will draw a few spells of showers across England and Wales, some reaching eastern Scotland. Central and northern Scotland will stay dry, and perhaps some good spells of sun here too. A mild day for the time of year in the southeast with highs reaching 10C. Further north and in Ireland, highs will be closer to 5 or 6C.

The scattered showers will continue to drift northward in Britain, but scattered is the key word here - many will have a dry night. Ireland will become more widely dry with time in the overnight hours, with a clearing of the skies following - the clear skies allowing for some frosts to form in rural and upland areas. However, in the later hours, a core of low pressure with approach the far southwest, strengthening the wind and brining a new area of rain here. Staying mild in England overnight with lows not dropping much below 7C. Wales and Scotland will see lows nearer to 4C.

Have a good day!
