weather forecast

It's a mixed bag on the weather front for much of the country.

After a chilly start, most areas of the country will stay dry and even see a bit of sunshine.

Any early rain in Devon and Cornwall will soon clear away.

Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery with the risk of hail and sleet.

Temperatures will rise to highs of around 11 or 12 Celsius (52 or 54 F).

The top temperature will be around 14 Celsius (57 F).

After a chilly start to Tuesday, there will be some sunshine, especially in the east, but this will later be replaced by rain.

For most it will be a little colder than on Saturday, especially in the south and the brisk easterly winds will give a marked wind chill.

Wednesday will be wet in the north and drier and brighter in the south.

A few showers will linger on Tuesday morning, mainly across parts of northern England and Scotland.
