but passenger groups are less sanguine about it particular because on monday south—western trains will go on strike for almost one month, one of the longer strikes in history in the uk trains. that will not please passengers i guess, but thank you very much indeed, katie. let's get the weather now with louise lear. hello, frost and fog was an issue this morning as most of the country was under an influence of high pressure. that said, this weather front is drifting into the near continent and bringing some cloud and rain across the far south—west, so here, not quite as cold, but on the pc side with rain at times. elsewhere the fog lifts, it is dry, settled and sony into the afternoon, with just a few isolated showers across the north and east coast, temperature struggling to up to 8 degrees, quite widely, with the exception of the far south—west. that light and patchy rain drifts off to france through the night, mona of a breeze preventing frost and fog here, but further north, again, under those clearer skies, the temperatures are likely to fall. the first day of december tomorrow
