After the gloom of the past few days across eastern areas, we'll eventually see some fine, warmer weather here today. But we are currently in the middle of what is often a cool period. It's one of those quirks of the British climate or a singularity as it's known, and therefore todays more 'spring-like' conditions are unlikely to last.

For the North West, it's the reverse, with the recent sunshine replaced by cloud and some rain on a cold front. This'll bring a drop in temperature eventually to all and will steadily work its way across the country before finally reaching Kent tomorrow.

But that pesky mist, low cloud and patchy fog at first continue to affect the East and South East, but should eventually clear to leave much of England and Wales with a mostly fine day, although there is the risk of some sharp, thundery downpours developing in some eastern and southern regions this afternoon. A storm forecast has been issued.

The sunshine will make it noticeably warmer, especially in areas where it remained dull yesterday, with temperatures reaching 18 to 22C in mostly light winds. But along the exposed coasts of East Anglia and Kent in particular, a northerly breeze will feel chilly, keeping temperatures down here. Later Northumberland and the North West will see more cloud, with Cumbria, in particular, turning wet during the afternoon.

Across Northern Ireland, overnight rain clears to leave sunny spells and just a few showers, mainly towards Derry and Antrim. After a bright start towards Lothian and The Borders, Scotland also sees some rain; before here, too, it turns brighter from the North West with sunny spells. It becomes mainly dry, but the North and the West will have a few showers in a primarily light Westerly breeze - maximum temperatures here only 10 to 14C.

After a fine evening across the East and South, the front works slowly south-eastward across England and Wales after dark. But the rain on it should become somewhat lighter, with the North and Wales seeing clearer skies by morning. Over Scotland and Northern Ireland, there'll be clear spells, but with a few showers, mainly in the North and West, particularly towards dawn. Lowest temperatures 5 to 7C in the North, 7 to 11C in the South in the North West or Westerly breeze.

As we enter the new working week, it'll be the turn of the South East and parts of East Anglia to see some rain, which should have cleared Kent by mid-day. When it does so, you'll join much of the rest of the country on a reasonable but cooler day. There'll be some sunshine but with variable amounts of cloud that'll produce a few showers, mainly over Scotland, Northern Ireland and eastern England, in a primarily light breeze from a North Westerly quarter.

Across the far North of Scotland, you'll see some rain moving in through the day in a freshening West or South Westerly wind. Although feeling pleasant across the country in the sunny spells there'll be on offer, top temperatures of 11 to 14C in the North and 15 to 17C further South will be on the cool side for the time of year.

The evening sees skies tending to break, with fewer showers after dark leaving clear intervals in mostly light West or North Westerly breezes. Although mainly dry, it'll turn chilly with minimum temperatures of 4 to 8C, low enough to perhaps give a touch of ground frost in some rural 'hollows' of the North where skies stay clear. It could also turn cold enough across the Northern Isles for showers to turn wintry later, as North West winds draw air from the Arctic.
