Someone could have come around the corner at the traffic lights,

even at that time of the morning,

Now with the weather forecast, here's Cecilia Daly.

We have got some messy weather coming up. It is going to be a bit

of a nightmare for forecasters so stay tuned. There will be a bit of

rain here and there tonight. Nothing too heavy or persistent. It is going

to be milder tonight but pretty windy. By the end of the night,

there is persistent rain in the West. That is the weather front and

that all cause some trouble this week because it will wriggle around.

Never moving too far. Bringing the risk of rain most days but not all

the time. Tomorrow we are likely to see more rain by the end of the day

and warm weather. It will brighten up in the East with some sunshine.

Strong gusty winds also be around. Head of it is lovely with

temperatures up into the law or mid-. Before the rain arrives in

Northern Ireland, temperatures could take 20 or 21 degrees. Cooler once

the rain arrives. A damp and the day in the east by brightening up wet

sunshine here and there across the West. Let us look at a weather front

again. It is not too far away from us. It could be back across in fact.

Ahead of it, 31 degrees in London. Throw that in mind if you're heading

there this week. There will be some sunshine around whereas it stays

cloudy in the north and west. It is very much an east-west picture this

week. It should start moving away from us, that weather front, by the

end of the week with that breeze picking up by Friday. The risk of

rain most days but not particularly cold. The winds easing after

tomorrow.
