Showers affect southwest England and southern parts of Ireland much of the day, drier elsewhere with some bright spells towards the north and west.

Good morning,

Storm Chandra has cleared away this morning and much of Britain will see a calmer day. Lighter wind and bright spells will break out in central and northern areas, the best of the bright spells in the west. The east stays generally cloudier, especially eastern Scotland where occasional rain will continue here.

The southwest will see a different kind of day - low pressure west of Ireland will continue to affect these areas. Showers will affect the southwest and southern and eastern parts of Ireland much of the day. There will be bright spells between the showers, and especially in central/northern parts of Ireland. Also quite windy across Ireland. Highs will reach 6C in lowland parts of Scotland, approaching 9C in the south or locally 10C in the far southwest.

Overnight, showers continue in the southwest and Ireland, with rain pushing further north into Ireland. It likely stays windy here too. Most of Britain stays dry, with plenty of clear sky areas forming which will allow substantial cooling. Northeast Scotland and the northern islands will remain rainy most of the night, with precipitation falling as snow in the Highlands. Most upland areas will see freezing temperatures overnight, and many parts of central England and Scotland will reach down to 1C. Coastal areas will stay nearer 4C, as well as much of Ireland.

Have a good day!
