A calendar more in synch over the next few weeks with the weather.

The transition to the conditions began to date with cold air pushing

behind the cold front and as the high pressure builds it makes the

winds lighter and it is the ideal recipe for the first widespread

frost retired. It will develop over the night and it is the blue tinge

developing UK wide. Scotland, East and Northern Ireland, may be

floating with Norfolk and we may see mist and fog forming but the

mast -- vast majority will be freezing. Through the towns and

cities below freezing with minus temperatures in some -- in Scotland,

but as we start over Friday morning most of us will wake up to a frost

and we will see showers across Scotland and the risk of ice

elsewhere where we have seen showers through the evening. Into

Northern Ireland, many western areas might be free of frost but to

the east it will be a clear and frosty start as well be the case

across England and Wales. An area of cloud will develop across north-

west England and into the Midlands and South Wales and south-west

England are prone to freezing fog patches. Some of those could take a

while to shift. The cloud through the Midlands will slowly thin out

and break and during the day Northern Ireland will turn cloudier

as well Northwest's common with patchy rain. For the vast majority

start with clear skies and finish and a skunk -- sunny skies.

Temperatures lower than recently, but with the sunshine at it will

feel reasonably pleasant. With the light winds the frost develops

again quickly. You will notice the blue tinge more prevalent across

England and Wales. This is where the coldest conditions are. You

will see some missed and freezing fog. To the west and north, the

frost is patchy, and that is where more cloud will develop into the

start of the weekend. Sunny spells here and there. Most dry and while

some of the fog may take some time to shift, we will see decent

sunshine and temperatures similar to Friday. The reason we see the

fog across eastern areas is because of the high pressure weather winds

are lightest. That moves to the east but still fog possible to

start the day. Further west, the isobars pinch together, so more of
