Now just time to see what the weather has in store. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Some decent wintry weather and dry weather because of high pressure in | :05:05. | :05:22. | |
charge, keeping the Atlantic weather fronts at bay. But we're on the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
periphery of that high pressure with those isobars gathering a little | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
through tonight so the breeze will be picking up in a few spots, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
particularly towards the north-west and more cloud he also and it might | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
bring the odd spot of drizzle but generally it is a dry night and | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
still fairly clear towards the east and south-east and this is where we | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
shall see the lowest temperatures getting close to | :05:43. | :05:57. | |
freezing in some rural areas giving us a touch of frost. A chilly start | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
tomorrow for some but a decent day with dry, bright weather and if you | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
are in the North and West, breezy and we might start with some cloud. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
The best hazy sunshine likely to be towards East. That band of cloud and | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
brisk wind extends into Scotland with drizzle for Northern and | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
western parts but other than that a lot of dry weather, brightening up | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
across the Republic, much of England and Wales after a frosty start but | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
where we have had fog overnight some of that could be slow to clear and | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
quite stubborn and could affect some airports and it will also feel quite | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
cold by that lingers but in the sunshine, 7-9 . Northern Ireland for | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
the afternoon, dry, bright and even the north and west seeing the cloud | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
breaking up to give bright spells and highs of around seven or 8 | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
degrees. Through the rest of the week, a lot of cloud in the | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
