:03:55. > :03:56.for the fans A look at the weather
:03:57. > 3:55:38for the week ahead now, Hello. Good evening. We had a pretty
3:55:39 > 3:55:38fine day today, not huge amount of sunshine, but it did brighten up in
3:55:39 > 3:55:38places and we had temperatures into the low teens. Over the next few
3:55:39 > 3:55:38days we will still see a lot of dry weather, a variable amount of cloud.
3:55:39 > 3:55:38Meaning there should be some sunshine around, but of course clear
3:55:39 > 3:55:38spells at night-time mean it will be a bit chilly. As there will be in
3:55:39 > 3:55:38places last night, not as mild as last night. Les Bell developed, so
3:55:39 > 3:55:38don't just drop back to four or 5 degrees, but some rural spots could
3:55:39 > 3:55:38get down to one or two Celsius, and that could give them patchy fog and
3:55:39 > 3:55:38mist and frog. Frost. Tomorrow should be dried, with some sunshine,
3:55:39 > 3:55:38although the fog should lift into clouds before the sun wakes during
3:55:39 > 3:55:38the morning. Dry everywhere through the day generally speaking, sunshine
3:55:39 > 3:55:38around as well, I bit more cloud around the south-west, bitter breeze
3:55:39 > 3:55:38here as well, and we also get some low clouds just lifting in over the
3:55:39 > 3:55:38north sea into the east coast of England, pushing that further
3:55:39 > 3:55:38inland. Feeling cool in these areas but present in the sunshine further
3:55:39 > 3:55:38west. Through the afternoon, a fair amount of sunshine, lots of blue
3:55:39 > 3:55:38sky, temperatures not quite as high, as they were today, but that
3:55:39 > 3:55:38sunshine with just a light south-easterly breeze means just ten
3:55:39 > 3:55:38or 11 degrees will be feeling very present in the west. High pressure
3:55:39 > 3:55:38is in charge for the rest of the week, a flow coming east from
3:55:39 > 3:55:38south-east. Eastern Scotland and eastern England could continue to
3:55:39 > 3:55:38get some low cloud, some sea fog may be drifting in at times, and it will
3:55:39 > 3:55:38feel quite cool. So the best of the sunshine for Tuesday, likely to be
3:55:39 > 3:55:38towards the west and the north-west, and this is where we will see the
3:55:39 > 3:55:38best of the temperatures as well, as indeed we will do on Wednesday. Best
3:55:39 > 3:55:38sunshine here again, against a low cloud and see fog was the north sea
3:55:39 > 3:55:38coast. That Kildare creates just a little bit further inland.
3:55:39 > 3:55:38Essentially it is a fine and dry week coming up, and hopefully there
3:55:39 > 3:55:38will be more sunshine around. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin
