Weather outlook

Plenty of rain around today, starting from sunrise into the night. Most notably from midday across Ireland, where there is potential for thundery outbreaks in the west. Into the afternoon, we see rain stretch almost cover the UK entirely.

The rain could turn to snow showers in the Scottish Highlands overnight into Friday.
