hello again. we've started off sunday with some sunshine across many parts of the uk. yes, there were one and two mist and fog patches, a bit of cloud across the south east of england, but that's pretty much clearing away. and look at this in west sussex this morning. lots of blue skies and for much of the afternoon, it's going to stay largely sunny. there will be some high level cloud spreading southward, perhaps making the sunshine turn a bit hazy later on. but the thickest cloud will be across scotland and northern ireland. with that, some outbreaks of rain affecting the far north and the west of scotland. quite breezy here as well, but lighter winds, especially around those north sea coast, so not feeling quite as chilly as it's done recently. in fact, temperatures will be getting up to about 18 to 23 degrees across southern areas, 21 celsius in hull, much warmer than it was yesterday. but bear in mind, across england and wales, high uv levels this afternoon moderate across northern ireland,
