days, a dip in temperature Friday with warmer temperatures over the

weekend. The main theme through this week is

one of mainly dry weather but with important variations from place to

play sand from day-to-day. That was the case again today. A sizzling day

across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Plenty of sunshine. Not 1

million miles away, down across the border into northern England, a lot

That breeze will introduce lower temperatures as well. Say goodbye to

Ireland. Many southern part of England and Wales will hold onto the

west are the highest temperatures. Further north and east it is

cooler, breezy with more cloud around. Having said that, I suppose

the most important thing for many of us as we approach the weekend, high

pressure just behind my shoulder. That will ensure that most of us
