the government position on this in the second half of outside source. good evening. after the very mild weather we have seen at times this week, and the real deluge that some had to contend with last night, today has been a very different sort of day with sunny skies for many. quite a cold feel to the weather. there�*s the curl of cloud that brought very heavy rain to parts of the south during last night. clearing away eastwards in its wake you can see some speckled shower clouds pushing down from the north and that northerly, or northwesterly wind has been feeding some rather chilly air across the uk. so yes it has felt quite cold out there, even given some sunshine. there have been some showers around as well, some of their showers over high ground in scotland have been wintry. the wintry element to though showers tending to ease off, but some rain showers will continue to drift southwards as we go through the night.
