Welcome to the Breakfast Brief, offering your first look at the day's forecast. 

Weather outlook

Another dull day across the UK and Ireland, with persistent cloud cover under continued high-pressure. Some light showers on the south and eastern coasts of England this morning, slightly heavier in northern Scotland but short-lived.

Temperatures remain frosty in parts of southern to central Scotland, around -4°C in Glasgow before slightly warning to a high of 0°C. A similar story for west to northwest Ireland, lows of -4°C also seen in Sligo but widely above freezing by midday.

Outside the far south-west of England, the final winds from Storm Darragh this past weekend have fully dissipated. Highs of around 25 mph in Plymouth should not cause any disruption.
