it will be breezy here — certainly some brisk winds blowing across trent bridge again on saturday for day two of the test match. should stay dry — should stay dry, really, through the rest of the match itself. those westerly winds tending to ease down — that's really because that low pressure is bringing the windier weather and most of the showers, but that's moving away as we head into sunday, so it won't be as windy on sunday. there will be a scattering of lighter showers, i think, across scotland, northern ireland and perhaps the far north of england but head further south again across england and wales, more in the way of sunshine, not much cloud and with lighter winds. again, it will feel quite warm. temperatures this time — 21 degrees in london, perhaps 15 in the central belt of scotland. the start of next week sees one area of low pressure then moving away, another one coming in from the atlantic. these weather fronts approaching the north—west. they're not going to give much, if any, rain on monday but we will see more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. t
