strong feature of the day, pushing in from the south-west. Cooler air

we come for the West. This band of rain pushes them through the

afternoon. It means we could see highs of nine or 10 degrees. We keep

that cloud cover as we go on into the evening. A warm night and we

keep the breeze as well. It means we have another band of rain coming

through overnight and behind that, which warmer air. A very different

picture the weather on Sunday. More cloud around but as we go through

the second half of the weekend. It's going to stay largely dry as we go

through the day. Temperatures are the thing that you will really

notice. Might not see beautiful clear blue skies but the

compensation dolls come in terms of the thermometer, we will see milder

temperatures with highs of 14 degrees.
