The weather will remain changeable today and tomorrow, as Atlantic fronts move through bringing cloud and patchy rain but some sunny weather in between. A low pressure system containing the remnants of Tropical Storm Rina will run across the south Friday night, bringing a spell of wet and windy weather. Then colder, drier and brighter weather setting in for the weekend, as winds veer northerly by Sunday, bringing air from the arctic.

Today

For many of us, it wasn’t as cold last night, thanks to sets of weather fronts moving through overnight, bringing cloudier skies and patchy light rain. The exception is across Kent and Sussex, where skies stayed clear, which meant temperatures were close to freezing here at dawn, though the cloud is arriving here now and temperatures lifting.

For much of England and Wales it’s a dull and damp start, but we are seeing brighter but windier conditions move down across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of England. Quite windy across northern Scotland, with gales across the far north along with some heavy showers.

Gradually the dull conditions across England and Wales this morning will be replaced by the brighter skies from the northwest, though it may take a while for the sunnier skies to reach the far southeast of England this afternoon. So, most areas will end up with a dry and sunny afternoon, though windy across Scotland with showers continuing across the far north. Temperatures this afternoon reaching 9-10C across Scotland and Northern Ireland, 11-14C across England and Wales.
