Low pressure and it's associated trailing frontal system will be lying across central and southern parts of the UK today bringing a rather dull and wet Tuesday here but further north the rain will be more showery in nature. Pressure remains low throughout the next few days so all parts can expect to see further showers or longer spells of rain with temperatures dropping back as well.
Although it is a dry and bright start for many parts, there are some showers affecting northern and western regions of Britain and Ireland, some of these locally on the heavy side. These showers will tend to become more widespread today across Scotland, perhaps bringing some hail and a rumble or two of thunder in places, but as always with showery set-ups some areas will see very few, if any, showers. Meanwhile for central and southern parts of England, Wales and across into southern Ireland there is a lot of cloud around this morning with outbreaks of rain and drizzle pushing eastwards and further pulses of rain will continue to push in throughout today, the rain turning heavy and persistent in places and pushing further north towards Northern Ireland and northern England for a time. However, there will still be some drier interludes, especially towards the southeast of England where there may even be some brightness. Maximum temperatures today will generally be in the range of 11°C to 15°C, perhaps a degree or two higher in brighter parts of southeast England.
The cloud and rain gradually clears away to the southeast tonight, clearing southeast England later in the night. Clear spells and scattered showers will then follow from the west although the showers will mostly become confined to northern and western coastal regions by the end of the night. It will be a cooler night with temperatures perhaps falling low enough for some patchy frost in the north, but staying milder towards the southeast. Wednesday will then be a day of sunny spells and showers for most areas, the showers turning heavy with hail and thunder at times as well as merging into longer spells of rain in places.
