Breakfast brief
Gloomy day with little sunshine

Weather radar showing overcast conditions over the UK and Ireland. Light rain showers and small patches of rain can be seen. A gloomy day with passing light rain showers and snow for some.

Kickstarting your day

Welcome to the Breakfast Brief, your first forecast for the day and a chance to catch up on what you may have missed.

Weather outlook

Another widely overcast day ahead, with little sunshine across the UK and Ireland amid light rain and snow over higher ground. Only small areas will glimpse the late-winter Sun, mainly in western to central Scotland and the Shetland Islands.

Temperatures start at or near freezing across the UK, though Ireland does see a little more warmth, with highs rising to upper-single digits through the day.

Ireland and much of Scotland still see gusting winds today, which do ease overnight before returning on Thursday.
