and Thursday as well. A bit of rain around on Friday. And with lore on

around on Friday. And with more on all of that, of course, here is

Alex. Good evening. There's no sign of

things warming up any time soon. It things warming up any time soon It

will stay on the fresh side, despite there being some decent spells of

August sunshine. A sprinkling of showers. Always on the cool day, by

day and particularly by night. Why is it so chilly? We are stuck

between an area of high and an area of high pressure over Scandinavia.

The winds swirl around the low. We have northerly winds, bringing this

chilly air and this cold pool is set to sit across the UK for the rest of

this working week. With the winds coming from the north, it means

northern Scotland will continue with showers. The showers are fading in

the east. More heavy ones returning to the west for Northern Ireland

later in the night for Wales and north-west England. Double figures

just about in towns and cities across the south. In rural areas

across northern Britain as low as three or four Celsius in the

morning. Heavy showers over north-west England. Parts of Wales

and the Midlands. As that area drifts south, it tends to break up.

We are left with a scattering of showers for the afternoon. The winds

come from the north though. Across northern Scotland, a mixture of sun

and showers throughout the day. With shelter, not too many showers

through the central belt. Southern Scotland dry and fine. One or two

scattered showers to the east of the Pennines. Further south, yes some

showers. There'll be some sunshine. Look at the temperatures. We may not

reach 20 Celsius tomorrow for the first time since early June.

Temperatures will drop tomorrow night. The showers will fade. The

winds will die down. With lengthy clear spells, well we will see

temperatures widely down to single figures. In the countryside, as we

go into Wednesday, they will be down to three to five Celsius. Pretty

chilly for the time of year. There'll be some sunshine though on

Wednesday morning. And again, just a sprinkling of showers developing

through the day. Many areas will stay dry and bright. Temperatures

still struggling along in the teens. Persistent rain in the north-west

later on. That is from another area of low pressure, which moves

southwards. Where this weather front lies, it will pep up the showers a

bit during Thursday and Friday. There
