We start the week with a ridge of high pressure collapsing Southeast across the UK. When ridges move across the country and then collapse, so any bands of rain or troughs running around the Northern periphery of the system can make inroads across Northwestern areas and today is one of those days.

Cloud also moving Southeast as a decaying trough runs into the ridge, but a dry day in store for many parts of Ireland, Wales and England as rain moves into Western and later Central areas of Scotland where some more persistent and heavier rain could develop across Western areas of Scotland later this afternoon and into this evening.

Sunshine developing this afternoon across England and Wales as the cloud from that trough clears away to the Southeast and winds also turning lighter as the ridge moves in through the course of this afternoon.

Temperatures today not too shabby for the end of March with 11-13C across much of Ireland, England and Wales, perhaps a little higher this afternoon in the best of the sunshine across Central areas of England and Wales. Cooler though for Scotland, in particular Western areas with the cloud and rain and 8-10C the maximum.

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.
