pressure building and we're drawing in southerly winds, so drawing in from the south and from where the warm air is sitting. and finally clearing storm hans away as well from the northeast of scotland, where it's been blowing a gale for 2—3 days. so some early morning fog, and it is lingering into the early part of the rush hour at this time of the year to watch out for. the odd shower can't be ruled out. a little bit of mist and fog around the coasts but, for all intents and purposes, a fine and warm day with hazy spells of sunshine. not wall—to—wall sunshine but it will still be warm for most. low 20s northern ireland, the mid—20s into the central belt, up as high as 27 in the south and the east. but as we move into the weekend, it'll turn fresher and more showery. in fact, that process begins during thursday evening and overnight with the approach of the next weather front, bringing some patchy rain, heavier across northern england, northern ireland and scotland. brisk winds blowing that in. so, again, another warm night for most. it freshens up behind that weather system, so through friday,
