Good night. Good evening. We have seen some

contrast and weather conditions today across the country. Almost

contrast and weather seasons because for most of England and Wales,

glorious blue sky, sunshine and warmth. It was lovely across the

south coast. Further north, under the cloud in northern Ireland and

Scotland, disappointing. A further inch to come of rain. For central

and eastern areas, perhaps a touch on the chilly side but some frost in

the south-east corner. A beautiful start but I suspect for Friday there

will be more cloud developing and the sunshine turning hazy. The cloud

thickener for Wales and the north-east of England. At four

o'clock in the afternoon the rain is still there for Northern Ireland and

Scotland. It is starting to slip south. More snow to come for the

Grampians. It is worth bearing in mind. The showers continue into the

north-west of England and for West Wales as well. There should be some

brightness as well. The sunshine turning hazy across the Midlands. I

would not be surprised if we see 17 or 18 degrees. We could get 1920 in

the south-east. Friday into Saturday the weather front continues to sink

South and East. It will be weakening all the time. A dull start hopefully

brightening up to the north-west. Generally fresher. On Sunday, we

keep the breezy, showery scene but more sunshine coming through and

hopefully a bit warmer. That is how the bank holiday weekend is shaping

up. Scotland and Northern Ireland looks likely to stay cool, breezy
