Breakfast brief
Gusty with rain and snow to start

A wet, or snowy, start for some but brighter elsewhere.

Gusting winds remain, but clearer skies are starting to appear in areas of England and Wales.

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

Gusting winds remain in place over Ireland today, with light rain early in the day. Over Scotland, snow and sleet remain a factor until the early afternoon, as temperatures remain cool in the UK but sunny spells return.
