There will again be lots of cloud for many areas during today. Drizzle and patchy rain affects more western areas this morning, this also troubling eastern Ireland. Plenty of low cloud and fog shrouding the hills and coasts of the west too. Further east it should be drier and a few bright or sunny spells will develop in the Midlands, East Anglia and southeast England making it feel very warm here. Staying damp throughout this afternoon on western coasts and hills, with some brighter moments in western Ireland. Little changes elsewhere. Highs at 15C in western Scotland but up to 21C in southeast England.
