but we are still going to have some rather chilly mornings as you saw there in northamptonshire, followed by a leap in temperature as we get into the afternoon and it stays dry as you saw. that's because of the high pressure that is with us — centred to the east, slipping a little bit further north, so it's allowing more isobars into the south and southern half of the uk, which means a bit more breeze and we will notice the effect of that breeze as well. as we are doing today across the channel islands and the south—west. it is quite strong, actually. that is tempering the feel of things here. temperatures not quite as high as they were yesterday. this is the satellite picture from earlier but there will be very little change throughout the rest of the day. a little bit of cloud and perhaps the odd shower for the northern isles with temperatures at around eight or nine here. a little bit lower in the south—west, but generally for many areas, perhaps the highest they have been this week at 18—19 degrees and possibly 20 in the north—east of wales. it will drop away under the starr

tojog your memory here's warne's ball to gatting...and now here's parkinson's to adam rossington of northamptonshire. one the england selectors might be watching on a loop. look at that there. brilliant stuff. that's all from sportsday. thank you so much for watching. we will see you again a little bit later on. the weekend is upon us and the weather is looking pretty good across most of the uk. here's the good news, the temperatures are going to rise a little bit, just a bit. the mornings will still be fairly chilly. a frosty night tonight, but i think by day, it will at least improve by around 2—3 degrees compared to what we have had in the last field. here is the map from high—pressure close to uk, keeping weather fronts at bay. the recent satellite picture. you can see a weather frontjust brushing outer hebrides there come a scotland and also the north of northern ireland. over us, just a scattering of fairweather cloud here and there. so, this evening and overnight, it is a case of clear skies. again, a touch of frost, particularly across central and eastern areas of the uk. but where we ha

continue through today and into the weekend but we will still have some chilly mornings as you saw in northamptonshire, followed by a leap in temperatures as we get into the afternoon and remaining dry, because the high pressure is with us. centred, as you can see, to the east and a little further north, allowing more isobars into the southern half of the uk meaning a bit more of a breeze, and we will notice the effect of that breeze, as we are doing today across the channel islands and the south—west. it is quite strong. that is tempering the feel of things here, temperatures not quite as high as yesterday. this is the satellite picture from earlier. there will be very little change throughout the rest of daylight. some cloud and perhaps the odd showerfor the northern isles, about 8—9 here, a little bit lower in the south—west, but for many areas, perhaps the highest they have been this week, 18, 19, possibly 20 in north—eastern wales. it will drop away under starry skies quite quickly but because we retain higher temperatures by day they will not be as low by a degree or two tonight, but sti

sent in ljy good morning, yes, this was sent in by alfie, one of our regular weather watchers from northamptonshire. a lovely start to the day, nice and sunny. but a cold start, the risk of ice and widespread frost, but a lot of sunshine as well. like yesterday we will have a plethora of wintry showers, not all of us will see them, but more of us are likely to see them today than yesterday. certainly more inland than yesterday but they will not last terribly long. as far south as the south coast this afternoon, continuing through wales in the midlands, into east anglia, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, driven in on a gusty north and north westerly wind which will be strengthening across 0rkney and shetland, as we go through the course of the afternoon. temperatures, three in lerwick to eight in plymouth, but when you add on the wind chill, for many of us, it will feel below freezing, or into single figures. certainly a day to wrap up warm. through this evening and overnight come under clear skies the temperature will fall away, a few wintry showers left but not as many as during the

today, well, it's dawning like this for most of us, a beautiful sunrise with this weather watcher in northamptonshire, plenty of beautiful sunshine moments across the uk, but will be cooler for some of us across england and wales. high pressure in charge, but the flow of winds around this area of high pressure will be some quite cool air, in particular across england and wales. i mentioned the winds, they will be quite brisk across some southern areas and channel islands as well. some of us with sunshine, some patches of cloud and misting is here and there and icloud turning the sunshine hazy across parts of scotland, that could get to northern england and northern ireland free time. noticed this area of cloud drifting in from the north sea. it will break up as it moves inland, some patchy cloud for the midlands and east wales. i mentioned the strong winds towards the south, gusty for the coast in south—western the channel islands, and a cool wind for the north sea coast, nine, ten or 11 degrees here. highest temperatures further west, 17 for liverpool and glasgow, for instance. not quite as warm f
