After a foggy start, a frontal system brings showers and drizzle from the south-west as it moves through during the day.

The cause is a low pressure system sitting to the north-west of Portugal. Outbreaks of rain spread across south-western England and Ireland in the morning before moving into central England and Wales later.

It is much needed rainfall in the south-west, where a severe drought declaration is still live. Despite the rain and Storm Austen, more sustained rain is needed to fully alleviate the situation.

Brighter, sunny spells will be spend the day across Scotland and northern England.
