Day 16 - sunny skies sweeping south

A cold front sweeping southwards across Britain and Ireland today is bringing a change to much sunnier weather as clearer skies come down from the north.


Its a cloudy and damp start across central and southern areas this morning as that cold front passes through, with some light rain and drizzle in places. However, those sunny skies already across Scotland and northern England will continue to feed south with many areas seeing a fine afternoon. Cloud may hang on across much of Ireland and parts of southwest England though, whilst a fresh northerly wind in eastern areas of England will bring some patchy cloud in with it. Temperatures will be rather cooler than recently, especially close to the east coast where that northerly wind will be quite noticeable.


The breeze and patchy cloud here will help to stop temperatures falling too low tonight, but for many central and western areas it will be a cold night with a widespread ground frost forming under those clear skies. This takes us into a fine and chilly start for the weekend and Saturday looks like being a fine day everywhere, although there will again be some of that cloud plaguing eastern areas.


Another chilly night on Saturday gives way to more cloud moving into northwest Scotland, as a weather front moves in. A little rain is likely here on Sunday, but for much of England and Wales it looks like being another nice day. Make the most of the fine weather this weekend though, as wet and windy weather looks set to move in from the west next week!
