the result leaves scotland second in their qualifying group. our sports correspondent katie gornall was watching. in vienna, scotland were at a crossroads on their world cup journey. this, they said, was a game they couldn't afford to lose. no—one was expecting an easy ride. just a point separated scotland and austria at kick—off, with both teams desperate to land the first blow. chances flowed and lyndon dykes rose. nothing that time, but in this frantic first half, another opportunity for scotland wasn't far behind.

eastern scotland also seeing some sunshine through the day. elsewhere, a fair amount of cloud and with that westerly breeze, just a few showers coming into western scotland, perhaps north wales, north—west england seeing a few of those showers too. but in the sunshine towards the south and east, 23, possibly 2a degrees, so temperatures are still doing very well for this stage in september. we have the breeze coming in from a south—westerly direction, and as we head in into the weekend, that will still be very much the picture. a largely dry day for many of us on saturday. we have got a few splashes of rain for perhaps the north of scotland and perhaps one or two showers coming in from the south—west to south wales as well, but most places looking dry. temperatures up to 21 or 22 degrees on saturday. a similar day for many of us on sunday, again predominantly dry with some spells of sunshine. temperatures doing reasonably well, but you will notice this area of rain moving in from the west later in the day and that may well push some rain

overnight, still some fairly hefty rain across eastern scotland but the rain across eastern scotland but the rain will tend to become lighter and drizzly in nature really across the western parts of england and wales as well. mist and fog patches forming around the coast and hills, but temperature polite overnight quite mild, 10—14, then tomorrow is not a bad start to the weekend. across eastern wales, central and eastern england, the weather brightens up some sunshine. they should be some brighter weather as well for parts of western scotland and northern ireland but later in the day along the fronts we will probably start to see some showers breaking out, could be quite heavy. temperatures their highest again and the best of the sunshine across southern and eastern england. it will feel warm in that september sun. through saturday night, some big storms breaking out across wales, northern england and scotland and through sunday as the storms slowly push eastwards we could start to sequence might impact because the storms can be quite slow moving across parts of central and easter

eastern scotland until very late in the day. the rain moving into northern ireland, too, the east staying mainly dry until later on. temperatures for england and wales in the low to mid 20s in those sunny spells. so, a wet evening and scotland and northern ireland. monday, some of this rain will push on towards parts of northern england. it will be a mild start to monday. and this wet weather system will slowly fizzle out as we go on through monday. we're left with some patchy rain towards the west of northern ireland and western parts of scotland. still a fair amount of cloud here, whereas for england and wales, there'll still be sunny spells, though it could still be quite misty around some of the coasts of southwest england. and the temperatures in the sunshine in england and wales a little bit higher, reaching into the upper 20s in the warmer spots. and the warmth becomes more widespread for tuesday and wednesday. clearer, warmer weather heading in from the southeast around that ridge of high pressure. there'll some mist and

but for the north of scotland, itjust continues to be a pretty wet affair. a real soaking rain, so we'll need to keep an eye on that for localised flooding. a little bit fresher in the north, but still quite warm in the sunshine in southern and eastern areas. and that's because we have got a ridge of high pressure here. by the time our weather system starts to drift southwards, it does peter out and eventually becomes drier for northern scotland under a ridge of high pressure, but this is the question mark, what comes in from the west. but for sunday, you can see perhaps a little bit of cloud, a breeze and some rain for the great north runners here. we've got a lot of dry runner elsewhere and it becomes drier for scotland and northern ireland than recent days, but it's how far north and east this rain comes. it's giving us a headache at the moment. looks like the southwest and wales will bear the brunt during the course of sunday. further east, a little bit drier. but fresher, temperatures down on those of saturday. and then how far east it will push into mo

the clearest skies will be in scotland, northern ireland, northern counties of northern england and a cooler night to come, to put it down to single figures, but some sunshine is monday styles. some uncertainty about how far north of the rainbow get, it may slip further up the western side of the uk, may reach into scotland in later in the day. a good deal of cloud, a few bright and sunny spells. when i about how far north of rain will get, it will gradually from eastern parts on tuesday, friday conditions following behind, some rain impacting parts of northern ireland and scotland. after that, a couple of drier days, mainly dry days before we see another atlantic weather system bearing down on us, bringing some rain in either thursday night and friday. the main story about the weather is we are going to see the chance of rain, depending on where you are, earlier in the way, and largely dry mid week before the chance of rain coming back again later in the week. since a one. nearly 3,000 people were killed at three different sites — the grief at their loss, still raw. a minute's sile

quite chilly again in the far north—east of scotland. the overnight rain will spend much of the morning clearing away from east anglia and south—east england, but then brighter skies, back to the sunny day across much of the uk. you may catch each other, especially in northern ireland, particularly western scotland, some heavy with hail and thunder. another blustery day. a cooler day in scotland. a little bit warmer after the rain in east anglia and south—east england. the beacon whether story is one of another area of low pressure coming in. in fact, another area of low pressure coming in. infact, developing another area of low pressure coming in. in fact, developing and strengthening over us as it pushes northwards saturday and into sunday. that means the winds will get stronger and we will all see some rain again. this is how saturday is looking. bit of uncertainty about the timing of the rain, where it is going to be at its heaviest. overnight saturday into sunday will see the strongest winds, so keep checking the forecast. the i

with the exception of the heavy rain in northern scotland, similar day to come on sunday for much of the uk. minus the heavy rain in northern scotland with the addition of rain moving into wales from this weather system approaching from the southwest. it will be turning wetter here as the day goes on. as the day begins, it will be a cooler start, it has been turning fresher from the north and there will be a lot of cloud around in scotland, hill fog and that cloud will slip south into northern england and with it, there will be a few light showers and at the same time northern and western scotland brighten up during the day. a few sunny spells in northern ireland as there will be across east anglia in southeast england. cloud increasing in the midlands and especially in southwest england and wales. still a bit of uncertainty about the progression of this rain and it will impact parts and especially cornwall and devon and looks like it will cover much of wales by the time we get into the evening and temperatures for the most part into the teens to low 20s are some in east anglia and s

bit of mist and fog to start the day for scotland and northern ireland, and then it'll turn cloudier and windier for western scotland, perhaps western northern ireland, with some light and patchy rain here. but eastern scotland, eastern northern ireland, most of england and wales, fine and dry with some sunshine. and again, quite warm, into the low 20s celsius. into tuesday night, it starts to turn cloudier, windier and wetter across the northwest of the uk. further south, closer to high pressure, winds will be lighter, some clear spells again, one or two chilly spots, but a bit milder further north and west. this is where we start to see the changes, then, around the middle part of the week. indeed, it's on cue during the autumn equinox, with some rain and strong winds pushing in to scotland, northern and western areas, and then this band of rain will move southwards into northern ireland, southern scotland later in the day. behind it, sunshine, blustery showers, gales here. to the south of this rain band, though, for the majority of england and wales, another fine day to come. quit

still dampness in western scotland. a bit of fog through the irish sea that could develop into the north west of england and north—west midlands as well overnight, but quite a warm night with temperatures down to 12 to 15 degrees. tomorrow, temperatures could reach 30 degrees. that will please some people, not every body, mind you. we didn't reach 30 degrees at last month. last time we had 30 degrees was on the 23rd ofjuly and that was in northern ireland. we start with mist and fog across parts of england tomorrow. that burns off in the morning, sunshine develops widely in england and is. after a cloudy start for northern ireland and southern scotland, sunshine develops, giving temperatures a boost into the low to mid 20s. it is across england and wales we see temperatures reaching 30 degrees, more likely through the midlands and south east of england. still a lot of heat around on wednesday as well. we see signs of change towards the south—west of england and wales, perhaps northern ireland, with an increasing ris
