far. The outlook for the next few days, temperatures coming down a bit

but staying decent for this time of year. Here is Darren Bett with the

national weather. The warm air coming up on a

southerly breeze all the way from Iberia and across France into

England and Wales. To achieve the high temperatures we need to get

into some of this dryer air and sunshine. Even with the cloud today,

17 degrees. Not just about the temperatures, let's not forget there

is some rain around as well. Quite wet in Pembrokeshire for much of the

day. More rain overnight tonight, some rain and drizzle in northern

and western areas. Wetter weather moving northwards across Scotland.

Some rain in the south-west, shuffling towards the Midlands.

Overnight, a lot of cloud around. It is going to be very mild indeed for

the time of year, 11-12 in many parts of the country. This is an

sunshine beginning to creep into the south-east early in the morning.

This rain will get pushed northwards across Wales, north-west England,

into Scotland and most of the rain in the afternoon sitting in the

Irish Sea. The northern Scotland, where it is a bit drier and with a

southerly breeze, a bit warmer than recently, especially in the

north-east of Scotland. Not a good direction for Dumfries Galloway,

more rain. More rain for Cumbria, the Pennines. And some rain in

Northern Ireland, especially in the east. Rain flirting with the west

coast of Wales in south-west England. For many parts of England

and Wales, it gets brighter, not promising blue skies but warmth, 22

likely in the south-east. This turning wetter for western areas

overnight probably the main focus of the rain on Friday as the rain moves

northwards to Scotland. Not much rain in the south-east of the UK.

Whilst we introduce slightly fresher air, we should break the cloud up

quite nicely. Some sunny spells and it should be a decent afternoon for

many places. It's a weekend of two has. On Saturday we have some

sunshine and a bit of warmth but there will be some showers around as

well. Those will be quite slow moving, quite heavy, temperatures

not as high on Saturday. So showers to last too long. They get pushed

away on Saturday night by this ridge of high pressure. It will be quite

chilly overnight. That ridge will keep the weather fronts at bay for

the time being. For the second half of the weekend, much drier
