day. Outbreaks of rain for Monday.

And turning colder but

day. Outbreaks of rain for Monday.

And turning colder but sunnier on

Tuesday.

Phil Avery is here with the national

weather picture.

Another cloudy day for parts of the

British Isles but with exceptions,

and nowhere more so in the heart of

Wales. A glorious scene here. For

many of us, certainly in my neck of

the woods, it is looking like that.

Very January indeed. And you see the

difference it makes, fall into the

gap and glorious but there, it

really was that dull.

The rain is moving towards Northern

Ireland. Continuing further to the

east during the course of the night.

Not a cold night. A supply of

showers urged by a south-easterly

throughout the day. Now through

lunch time and into the early part

not with the movement of the fronts

but it will fizzle. The odd bit of

rain, we may accumulate a 40mm of

rain in Cornwall. A wet spell there.

Sunday, a lot of wind in the north

of Scotland. Elsewhere, the band of

cloud, that works east. A speckling

of rain from that perhaps. Brighter

skies behind and the temperatures

back a degree or who on where we

have been. And a very active weather

front for the north-west of Scotland

and Northern Ireland and for Monday,

that is the combination that all of

you will see at some point. What

that does is usher the frontal

system through to put
