Several fronts bring rain to primarily northwestern areas - muggy and cloudy for most of England and Wales.

Good morning,

West-to-southwesterly winds will dominate the day in England and Wales. A frontal boundary draped across Ireland and the north of England will bring rain here, heaviest and most persistent in western areas. Some of this will reach Wales too, most often in the north. Central and southern England will be drier, but the warm humid air may feel muggy with some drizzly rain affecting southern coasts. Highs in these regions reaching 19 to 21C, up to 23C in the east of England.

In Scotland and northern areas of Ireland, less humid with decent sun spells in the east. However, quite windy in Scotland with spells of rain, most often in the north and west. High temperatures reaching 15 to 18C in these areas.

As night falls, winds will tend to ease somewhat, though some variability. Rain will continue to affect east Ireland and northwest England with heavy spells on and off, these drifting into southern Scotland as nighttime goes. Remaining substantially dry for central and southern England, as well as most of Wales, though still mostly cloudy and muggy. Low temperatures of 15 to 16C for most, though as low as 9C in northern Scotland.

Enjoy the day!
