Live updates

One of the 60 new woodlands across the country in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee will be planted in Derbyshire

If only yesterday's weather was more like today, with a brighter and milder day expected.

For those anticipating a glimpse of the transit of Venus on Wednesday 6th June, it's unlikely to be clear at sunrise on Wednesday across the Central region, with low pressure in charge again from Tuesday.

Steady rain expected for most of Tuesday, with heavy showers continuing on Wednesday.

This heavy rain moving northwards will sink back southwards again overnight, but for most this evening the steady rain will continue.
