:04:36. > :04:41.times as well. But we did that and we matched them, really. It was

:04:42. > :04:45.good. Despite nothing tangible on the line, there was plenty of grit

:04:46. > :04:48.between the sides. In the end, it was Irish smiles and the perfect

:05:31. > :05:33.fine spell of weather will soon come to an end, but at least for the

:05:34. > :05:39.start of the week, still quite settled with lots of dry weather.

:05:40. > :05:43.But rather cloudy at times. Later in the week, more unsettled with rain,

:05:44. > :05:50.showers and brisk wind is picking up. Wind is light at the moment. Not

:05:51. > :05:53.a bad evening, with clear spells. A light, north-westerly breeze will

:05:54. > :05:58.bring more cloud over night, bringing some spots of drizzle in

:06:33. > :06:37.for Northern England, southern Scotland and the eastern side of

:06:38. > :06:41.Ireland. Tomorrow afternoon, the cloud lifts a little. We will see

:06:42. > :06:49.some bright and sunny spells, more so towards the south. Temperatures

:06:50. > :06:53.will reach around 9-10dC. High pressure in charge next week, but

:06:54. > :06:56.that is shrinking away. A week whether fund will move through in

:06:57. > :07:04.the middle of the week bringing some patchy showers. By then, it turns

:07:05. > :07:07.wet and windy. Until then, not a lot of rain in the forecast, but as I

:07:08. > :07:14.mentioned, probably more cloud around. That's all from us until
