We start the working week with a little bit of a hint as to what type of weather we can expect until the weekend. That said, some early patchy rain across Southern and Central areas of England this morning which will slowly fragment as it starts to clear to the Southeast throughout the course of the day.

High pressure though is building in from the West and this really sets the scene for much of the first half of the week. Some cooler air coming in around the top of the high filters South, but this high pressure will take pretty much most of the week to traverse across the British Isles from West to East.

Some early brightness for parts of Eastern Scotland this morning, but cloudy and drizzly for much of Ireland, Wales and England as that frontal system slowly spreads Southeast bringing a change to cooler and fresher air behind.

Sadly, temperatures today well down on what we saw across Southern and Southeast England yesterday with just 16-18c the top temperatures and 14-16 for much of the remainder of the British Isles. Overnight tonight we temperatures to drop to single figures for most parts of the UK away from Southern areas which hang on to the cloud. Gardeners should be aware that some possible light ground frosts are possible later this week though for parts of Central and Western regions.
