12:56 am
east anglia and down into the london area. it was a very different story furtherwest, however. cloud and rain lingered for much of the day and in some spots we had just shy of half an inch of rain. now, if we take a look at what�*s going to come through tuesday, it will be a similar kind of story. unfortunately, out to the west we�*ll see quite a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of rain. clearer skies further east and with lighter winds we�*ll see a little more in the way of sunshine. so showery rain across south—west england, wales and into northern ireland through the morning. that low pressure not moving very far, so it�*ll stay rather grey and damp. we could see a few scattered showers across east anglia and south—east england into the afternoon. but sandwiched in between the two, a lovely slice of sunshine. temperatures will respond, the high teens quite widely here. even in the cloud and rain, well, we�*ll see temperatures mid—teens for some. some improvement into northern ireland. western scotland keeps
12:57 am
a few scattered showers, but eastern scotland a little bit cooler with a breeze coming in off the sea, but it will be largely dry and sunny. so that low pressure just pulls a little bit further out to the west and the wind direction changes to more of a south—easterly. now, to start off with on wednesday it�*ll be a relatively mild start but that south—easterly breeze, well, that could just drive in a little more cloud in off the north sea and the potential for some showery rain to drift its way along those east coasts once again. so west will be best on wednesday in terms of sunshine and potentially in terms of warmth. so we could still once again see temperatures into the mid to high teens quite widely. now, as we move out of wednesday, towards the end of the week, the weather story gets a little bit messy. it�*s likely that that weather front could still enhance some showers across central and southern england. the low pressure never too far away with the best of the drier, brighter weather the further north. we�*re always going to keep those temperatures, though, slightly above the average
12:58 am
for the time of year. but still that wind coming in from the east. so at times we will be chasing cloud amounts around. there will be some outbreaks of rain, but it�*ll stay relatively mild into the bank holiday weekend.
