Did you realise part of Northern Ireland and western Scotland had a

drier than average April and the first day of May was a belter in

Scotland as well. Temperatures got very close to 20 degrees. The rain

eased away under this cloud, but before you get too complacent

conditions in the Alps could affect a weather tomorrow night. Before

that, some might rain or drizzle, staying dry it in southern areas.

There will be a frost on the ground for some, a chilly start, but for

most it will be a lovely sunny day. A bit more cloud to southern

Scotland with patchy drizzle to begin with, and for Northern

Ireland some of the cloud may break-up. The misty one across much

of England and Wales, the cloud producing hill fork. -- fog. Some

fog patches will linger around the coast for most of the day, but

elsewhere after the grey start skies will Brighton. There is still

the threat of some showers particularly in East Anglia and to

the south. It should feel quite warm with temperatures peaking at

18 degrees. A master of rain pushing across central and southern

England tomorrow night, not quite the level we have seen over recent

days but with the ground saturated it will not take too much to tip

the balance. Further north, dry and bright. The North of Scotland will

have more cloud and rain later, pushing its way southwards on

Friday. Sunshine and scattered showers, turning wintry across

Scotland later, and the introduction of more cold air. That
