High pressure to the northeast of the UK will bring plenty of dry weather to many regions again today, however, the exception will be out towards the west where a slow-moving Atlantic frontal system will bring a rather dull and damp end to the week.

Although some central and western regions of the UK mainland are dawning bright this morning, there is generally a lot of cloud around with many central and eastern regions having seen low cloud move in from off the North Sea overnight whilst for much of Ireland and Northern Ireland that frontal system is bringing outbreaks of rain. Further spells of rain and drizzle can be expected here today with that front barely moving, but for much of the UK mainland it will be another largely dry day with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny spells although the odd shower cannot be ruled out. Maximum temperatures today will range from a chilly 10°C to 13°C along eastern coasts and out towards the west to highs more widely of 14°C to 17°C.

That rain in the west will creep a little further eastwards tonight into western parts of Scotland, England and Wales with clearer conditions following into the west. The rain will become lighter and more patchy though with many central and eastern regions staying dry. This takes us into a rather cloudy start to the weekend for many places with a little rain in places, but brighter conditions will develop in the west with conditions turning more settled more widely as we head into next week with temperatures warming up too.

Whoah! How clever is this? The Metcheck Thunderstorm Tracker Satellite allows you to see the developing storms across Western Europe and tells you whether they are growing or decaying. Every 15 minutes we take a snapshot of the cloud cover then measure the temperature and height of the clouds and show you whether the area of clouds are developing into thunderstorms and what direction they are moving in.

You probably hear a lot about the Jet Stream in the news. It's either too far North or too far South. The jet stream is identified as winds at 300mb (during Winter) and 200mb (during Summer). It is these winds which are responsible for driving and developing weather systems across the Atlantic.
