Starting cool, feeling pleasant in the sun

Good morning,

A ridge of high pressure briefly influences the British Isles today, extending north from Biscay and France. A fair day for most with plenty of sunshine.

Low pressure which resided across Britain yesterday moves away east into Scandinavia, but another low over the Atlantic pushes fronts toward Ireland, where rain will develop into Friday.

Chance of local wintry showers in north-west Scotland, and a few early showers in the east of England, otherwise a dry and bright day.

It will be a chilly start, and a fresh feeling day, but pleasant in the sunshine and mostly light winds. Today's top temperatures reaching 9 to 13C.

Have a great day.
Garry
