Tuesday's weather forecast: wet and miserable!

If you like cloud and rain you'll love today's forecast, if not maybe look away now as we have a band of rain traveling north and east wards through today.

It will be fairly patchy through this morning, so some drier spells are expected but don't expect any sunshine we have a very cloudy day ahead.

This afternoon the rain will become more persistant and heavy causing tricky driving conditions.

Temperatures are struggling in the cloud and rain, 19c will be our high that's a 8/9c lower than last week.

Wednesday should be mostly dry but cloudy for the East Midlands until later in the day but rain will spread eastwards through the West Midlands on Wednesday.

The unsettled theme will continue through this week but if you are making plans to be outdoors I would say Thursday and Friday will be the best of a bad bunch with bright spells and showers rather than constant rain!
