A crisp and cold start with temperatures around zero for some areas. Bright away from western fringes though, with plenty of sunshine through the day.

Rain and brisk winds continuing in the north and west overnight, while staying dry, clear and still rather chilly to the south and east. A warm front is then expected to arrive from the west later in the night.
