A spring-like day with northwesterly winds brining sunshine, northwest showers, and cool temperatures in the north, feeling even cooler in the wind.

Good morning,

It's a chilly morning for many, just a touch of frost in upland and rural northern areas this morning. With the passing of yesterday's cold front, a brisk northwesterly wind affects northern England and Scotland, drawing showers into northwestern parts. Some hail may be mixed in in northwest Scotland. Sunny spells will punctuate the showers, with the most extensive sunshine in the east.

Fewer showers will affect central/southern England and Wales, many seeing regular sunny bursts, with fair weather cloud building. The wind will be rather brisk here as well. A few patchy showers may affect East Anglia later in the day, but these light and soon passing. Ireland will have a cloudier day, some drizzly showers in the west, but dry for most. High temperatures at 7C northern Scotland to 12C southern England.

High pressure remains dominant overnight, maintaining that westerly wind, but a weak warm front is passing east across Ireland into Britain. Patchy rain affecting Ireland and western Britain, stretching into central Britain in the later overnight hours; the rain will be light and well scattered for most. Southeast England stays dry and perhaps with clear skies well into the night. Lows of 4C in the east of England, 7C northwest; up to 10C Ireland.

Enjoy the day!
