Now for a look at what the weather has in store for the week ahead,

Hello. We are looking at a pretty settled week of weather coming up,

high pressure will continue to dominate across the UK and Ireland,

which means lots of dry weather. How much cloud we get during the day

will vary from day to day, when we get some sunshine with light winds,

it will feel pleasant but potentially chilly, with some patchy

fog and possibly a touch of frost. Tonight will be cold, temperatures

could get maybe just one or 2 degrees in parts of County Down.

That means a pretty chilly start on Monday morning. Maybe some fog, as

well. Other than that, it is a dry start of the working week, there

will be some sunshine to begin with and, eventually, as the morning goes

on there will be a little bit of sunshine if you can get out of the

breeze. The breeze will be coming off the North Atlantic, making it

cooler towards the north coast and there will be some cloud building of

the day goes on. So the best of the sunshine, generally speaking, the

further south you are across England and Wales, and likewise across

southern island, temperatures here in the high teens. Possibly even the

low 20s the south you are across England and Wales, and likewise

across southern island, temperatures here in the high teens. Possibly

even the low 20s over the Northwest and Scotland and perhaps a few

showers. Just a slight hands on some showers for the north-west tomorrow

afternoon, otherwise, lots of dry weather, brighter times, also some

cloud and the best images in the South East. Another chilly one

Monday night, Tuesday morning starting cold, and lots of dry

weather is come across the UK and Ireland with a mix of cloud and

sunshine, a bit of rain grazing the north-west of Scotland and still

like all northerly breeze. On Wednesday, high pressure continues

to keep its fine for many parts of Britain and Ireland, with

temperatures in the mid to high teens, maybe up to 20 degrees across

the south-east. As we go through the second half of the week, the wind

will change and it moves into the South East, so that should mean more

sunshine for some northern and western areas. We may find that

although the North Coast is cool, towards the end of the week, it

warms up a bit with temperatures perhaps recovering to the high

teens. Have a great night. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is

at 6.25am tomorrow morning. Until then you can keep up to date
