A tale of two halves

Milder under cloudier skies across Ireland, but a chilly start Friday elsewhere.

An east-west split in conditions through the day, with high pressure sat to the east, and low pressure approaching from the west.

Weather outlook

A chilly start under clear skies across large parts of England and Wales, with early morning temperatures around 5°C or 6°C.

Cloudier with outbreaks of rain in the west, chiefly across Ireland and Scotland, though plenty of sunny spells prevailing elsewhere.
