:05:18. > :05:23.enough care workers at the moment and services struggle to deliver

:09:11. > :09:14.We have much cooler conditions, on the cards for the next couple of
:09:15. > :09:18.days but through this week yes we may have quality wintry showers,
:09:19. > :09:24.things do take a turn as we head towards Thursday. As we go to the
:09:25. > :09:29.course we have clear spells overheard, temperature in the cool
:09:30. > :09:37.air mass down to around freezing if you are in the countryside so we
:09:38. > :09:40.expect a widespread forced. -- frost. The cloud will start to
:09:41. > :09:46.bubble up and brings up one or two showers. Temperatures up to 10-11
:09:47. > :09:54.but the showers. To increase in intensity. Later on starting to see
:09:55. > :10:00.they have three burst with a wintry theme so we might see sleet, snow,
:10:01. > :10:04.hail. They tend to use away overnight become drier and once
:10:05. > :10:07.again seeing some clear skies at times. Temperatures close to

:10:12. > :10:17.Wednesday, yet again some brightness first thing, showers coming soon and
:10:18. > :10:21.still a risk we could see some sleet, hail and thunder with the
:10:22. > :10:26.showers. The breeze really picking up around the shower so temperatures
:10:27. > :10:30.might well peek at 10-11 but it will feel very fresh when we see the
:10:31. > :10:37.showers passing through. To Thursday then we have a weather front, we
:10:38. > :10:41.will start to feel less called on Thursday and a bit of cloud may
:10:42. > :10:48.maybe patchy outbreaks to round off the day. Friday should be largely
:10:49. > :10:52.cloudy with limited brightness, we expect one or two isolated showers
:10:53. > :10:57.through the course. Temperatures at 11 or 12 once more. Taking a look
:10:58. > :11:02.ahead, through next weekend we will have cloudy spells, Mark showers,
:11:03. > :11:03.and a little brightness here and there. National forecast coming up
