The area of low pressure that brought yesterday's damp and breezy weather is now slowly drifting across Scotland before moving out into the North Sea later today. A ridge of high pressure is now building in from the west, bringing brighter conditions with it, with the blustery winds slowly easing down as we go through the day.

There is still plenty of showery rain across northern Britain this morning, along with a scattering of showers across western areas. Many southern and eastern parts are starting dry with sunny spells though, and as we go through the day there won't be a lot of change. The sunny spells will encourage temperatures to rise, with high's of around 17C in the southeast, a bit above normal. Even further north with the showers and wind it will be quite mild

Tonight will be dry for many, and remaining mild, before some rain moves into the southwest by dawn. This rain continues to affect southwest Britain on Monday, but for most it will be a dry and bright day with temperatures above normal.

This sets the tone for much of the rest of the week as high pressure dominates to the east of the country keeping Atlantic low pressure to the west. This means southerly winds will keep it very mild indeed, but there will be a lot of cloud and some rain around from time to time.
