A lot of cloud across eastern parts of England and Scotland this morning with scattered showers. In the afternoon many of these die out as it brightens but still on the cloudy side. An area of rain and drizzle is expected to affect Northern Ireland, Wales and south west England with a few heavy bursts for west Wales. By the afternoon this area of rain will have pushed back west clearing Wales but lingering across Northern Ireland and the West Country. Inland parts of England and Scotland look mainly dry and bright with a 10% risk of a light shower. Temperatures will be near normal with highs of 8 to 11C for most areas.
