:03:21. > :03:25.All parties are stepping up their campaigns to tell people what's

:03:26. > :03:28.happening, but perhaps what will make the biggest impact is the

:03:31. > :03:32.It will include details of who is standing and

:03:33. > :03:39.It will go out to all voters a few weeks before polling day in May.

:04:20. > :04:21.and drizzle over the next few hours, too.

:04:22. > :04:24.So a murky night but a very mild night.

:04:25. > :04:25.These are the values we'd expect by day.

:04:26. > :04:28.Temperatures tonight getting down to eight or nine degrees.

:04:29. > :04:31.That sets us up for another grey start to the day tomorrow again.

:04:32. > :04:35.Cloud will be thick enough, mainly over the higher ground,

:04:36. > :04:38.There should be some breaks, partiuclarly

:05:20. > :05:23.direction. The south-westerly will continue to bring in mild there on

:05:24. > :05:29.Monday. If anything, temperatures will be a little higher. It does

:05:30. > :05:30.come with a lot of cloud, and already, it is misty out
