:09:33. > :09:39.things will change very slowly. The cloud is increasing overnight, so
:09:40. > :09:41.clears belts disappearing. As clouds building, but that enough for the
:09:42. > :09:47.odd spot of rain and drizzle. Most places in the night dry and cloudy.
:09:48. > :09:51.That breeze will help temperatures to stop dropping any lower than six

:10:06. > :10:09.dry. By the afternoon temperatures will peak at 12 Celsius, 54
:10:10. > :10:17.Fahrenheit. But that north-westerly breeze, it might feel chilly at
:10:18. > :10:22.times. High-pressure in charge, drifting slowly eastwards as we head
:10:23. > :10:25.through the next few days, and that will bring a few subtle changes. One
:10:26. > :10:29.of those changes is a change in wind direction from that chilly
:10:30. > :10:33.north-westerly to a milder and lighter south-westerly. As we head
:10:34. > :10:36.towards the end of the week, Wednesday and Thursday essentially
:10:37. > :10:43.dry, if fairly cloudy days. Temperatures peaking around about 12
:10:44. > :10:46.Celsius. On Friday and into the weekend, with that south-westerly
:10:47. > :10:51.breeze, we should start to see the cloud become a broken, more in the

:10:57. > :11:00.With clear skies, it might turn a bit chilly overnight. I believe you
:11:01. > :11:03.bit from the south, so we could get to 18 or higher on Sunday. Now the
:11:04. > :11:14.national focus. Good evening, things are looking good in the next
:11:15. > :11:17.few days, some pressure drifting in from the Atlantic, bringing some
:11:18. > :11:21.finance settled with it. Just some questions about the amount of cloud
:11:22. > :11:24.we will see under that. The cloud we saw the sea links gave rise to a

:11:29. > :11:32.watchers in Cornwall. Look at the tones in the sky in Warwickshire
:11:33. > :11:41.this evening. Here is the satellite sequence which
:11:42. > :11:43.shows it was pretty gloomy on the eastern side of England. Not much
:11:44. > :11:45.rain, but a good swathe of sunshine for many early on. In the
:11:46. > :11:49.north-west, showers. Gusty wind as well, northern Scotland seeing 60-70
:11:50. > :11:52.miles an hour overnight, rattling though showers through. Also some
:11:53. > :11:58.cloud toppling its way further sap. Keeping temperatures in the northern
