Weather: Friday

Many places starting the day on a cloudy and damp note, but brightening up from the north.

A strong northwesterly airflow will feed in a steady stream of showers to western fringes. Drier weather further east with a good dose of sunshine.

Afternoon highs 9 °C but feeling colder in the wind.

Winds ease a little overnight and skies should clear, leading to a patchy ground frost with lows 1-3 °C .
