there's loads more on the bbc sport website and app. but from me and the rest of the team here — goodbye. hello there. northern ireland was certainly the place to be on sunday. light winds, sunny skies and it turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far in the country, with temperatures reaching 19 degrees. by contrast, much further east across the uk remains cold, particularly so across northeastern parts of england with cloud and the breeze coming in off the north sea. now high pressure is close by, but it is tending to edge your way and that's allowing these weather fronts to bring cloud and even some rain southwards overnight. but ahead of that, we've got clearer skies for east anglia and the southeast. so temperatures could be close to freezing. first thing in the morning before that cloud comes in and there will be a lot of cloud on monday, we've got 30

this light rain and drizzle affecting northern england, the midlands, wales heading towards the south. there could be a few spots of rain moving down across scotland before northern areas see the sunshine returning in the afternoon but there won't be as much sunshine in northern ireland. it's not going to be as warm on monday. may make 16 degrees in glasgow, but it's going to be particularly chilly for the midlands and eastern parts of england. that area of high pressure continues to just get pushed away and these weather fronts move southwards overnight with clearer skies. though, following into scotland, there could be an early frost around here. most of the cloud will be affecting some eastern parts of england, heading to the south east and northerly wind then follows in the odd light shower around north sea coast. cloud will tend to build up the sunny skies for western scotland, northern ireland and wales. and here temperatures will be 13 or ia degrees, but again it's going to be colder further east and generally over the next few days west is going to be best. but high pressure is no longer with us by wednesday.
12:55 am
but we're still in that cold air stream with the northerly wind bringing the odd shower down some of those north sea coast where it will feel particularly cold. we may well see a touch of frost here and there if the cloud breaks, but the cloud will tend to build up through the day on wednesday, and that could lead to a few showers, mainly for england and wales, looking a bit sunnier, perhaps for western scotland and northern ireland, but temperatures are 11 degrees in belfast and that's going to be a typical best number on wednesday. it is going to be a chilly week ahead. temperatures dropping across northern areas and there's even the risk of frost overnight before lower pressure, maybe bring some rain by the end of the week.
