Plenty of cloud around through Thursday morning. There could be some mist or fog patches in the far south at first, but these lifting quickly. A front brings rain to northern and western Scotland as well as the far north and west of Ireland. Western hills may experience a few spots of drizzle too. Elsewhere it will be dry with cloud breaking here and there, mostly through the Midlands and eastern England. Highs at a mild 16C in the south, 13C in northern Scotland.


Thursday Night
A murky night with mist and fog becoming fairly widespread over England and Wales as well as Ireland. There will be a few spots of drizzle over the hills, especially in the west. More eastern areas are likely to be drier. Rain in the far north of Scotland and breezier here too. Broken cloud over the rest of Scotland with a few clearer spells. Lows at 7 to 11C


When water vapor enters the UK's area, fog is frequently the outcome. Fog is a mixing of hot and cold air. (click here)
