Breakfast brief: Rain sinks in from the north-west

An unsettled picture in the north-west at first, with rain and blustery winds developing elsewhere through the day.

A cooler start than recently in the south-east under clear skies, with a low pressure system driving in a band of heavy and persistent rain from the north-west, sinking slowly south-eastwards through the day.

In its track the rain will become increasingly showery in nature and fragmented, reaching the south-east corner overnight. Blustery winds will also accompany the rain.

We're bringing you the latest updates on weather events around the world, while keeping an eye on local developments on the day's rain and possible flood risks.

Each morning, we take a trip around the world, courtesy of pictures sent in by our international users across the globe!

We share the best shots from the UK and Ireland every Sunday right here, and on our social channels through the week.
