The new week starts off with high pressure sitting to the south of the country whilst low pressure is to the northwest leaving many parts of Britain and Ireland under a run of mild and rather moist south-westerly winds. Temperatures are set to rise further in the next few days as air from North Africa moves northwards with many areas seeing highs returning to the low twenties.
Back to this morning and although its a rather chilly start across the far southeast of England, for much of the country it is a milder start to the day compared to yesterday thanks to there being a lot of cloud around along with more wind. Outbreaks of rain are affecting parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland, heaviest in the west, and as we go through the day that rain will push back north across Scotland with western Scotland in particular becoming very wet. The far north of Scotland may remain dry and bright for much of the day and for many parts of Ireland, England and Wales there will be plenty of dry weather around today with some bright or sunny intervals developing - the best of these coming towards the south and east. Temperatures will be a touch higher than yesterday with maximums in the range of 14°C to 18°C, but it will be colder in the far north and northwest.
A mild night follows with temperatures holding up in double figures for most places thanks to a fair amount of cloud and the brisk south/south-westerly wind. Winds will be stronger the further north and west that you are and rain will affect much of the north and west throughout the night, heaviest and most persistent over west-facing hills. Tuesday will then see very little change with the northwest remaining very wet while towards the south it becomes brighter and warmer.
