:04:41. > :04:44.chillier as the temperatures dip into low single figures, but most of
:04:45. > :04:49.us hold on cloudy conditions between eight and 10 degrees. That cloud

:04:52. > :04:56.will be outbreaks of rain and it will feel cool as a result, too.
:04:57. > :05:00.There will be some rather grey clouds, outbreaks of rain especially
:05:01. > :05:04.in the central and western areas. The best chance of any sunnier
:05:05. > :05:09.spells to begin with will be across the east coast for Antrim and County
:05:10. > :05:11.Down, may be part of Armagh as well. Travelling across Ireland tomorrow,
:05:12. > :05:15.with the exception of part of altar where we will continue to see rain
:05:16. > :05:18.made largely dry picture. Cloudy at the Bella knows you are, sadly
:05:19. > :05:22.towards the south. For Britain, the best of the weather will be across
:05:23. > :05:28.Scotland, the north-west of England into Wales, and the south-west, but
:05:29. > :05:32.a fresh wind coming in of C will dry in showers for Eastern counties and
:05:33. > :05:36.it is soldier areas as well. Amateurs are best tomorrow will

:06:16. > :06:19.suddenly begin to pick-up from Tuesday onwards, gusty by mid week
:06:20. > :06:22.at times, too. We have low pressure coming in from the Atlantic. That
:06:23. > :06:26.low pressure is likely to bring a scattering of shower at times, but
