A weak warm fronts drifts north through Ireland into western Scotland; cloud and some drizzle here, cloud well-broken elsewhere and often sunny.

Good morning,

More frost this morning: the north will have the most frost, the frost perhaps widespread in Scotland more then a few miles inland from coastal areas. However, some upland areas as far south as Devon may well see some patchy frost too. This is thanks to high pressure situated east of the country from overnight, keeping the skies clear. This high pressure will continue to keep the weather settled into the day: southern and eastern areas will have a mostly sunny day.

Further west and north, a warm front will be slipping northward on a brisk southerly wind. Ireland will see drizzly rain in the south and west, mostly morning and early afternoon. Some drizzle will reach northwest England too, with a period of increasing cloud here. And of course, on a track like this warm front is, northwest Scotland is never left out of the drizzly rain and cloud. However, later in the day, and particularly towards the evening, the warm front will slip away to the north, allowing for clear sky sunsets for most! High temperatures will reach 9C in the north to 14C south.

With the high pressure influence to the east, Britain remains largely cloud free overnight. In the west, the southerly wind remains in place, which may become quite blustery and gusty in southwest England and Wales. The wind remains strong in Ireland too, with more cloud here. Southern coasts will see a few spells of drizzly rain, and in the later overnight hours, and increased chance of heavier bursts in the west. Lows of 3 to 5C for much of Britain, though milder in the southwest, up to 10C, and similarly mild in southwest Ireland.

Enjoy the day!
