Summary of UK Weather for Friday 07 March 2008.

A cold front moved east the UK this morning, bringing a band of
patchy rain over England, Wales and Scotland which cleared away to
the southeast by around midday. Behind this band of rain, clearer,
fresher conditions followed from the northwest, with sunny spells and
scattered showers. These showers were most frequent and heaviest in
the north and west, particularly near coasts and over high ground.
However, some of the showers also penetrated into central and
southern parts of England. After a cloudy start in the southeast,
most places have seen a good deal of sunshine today. Cloud amounts
have been thickening during the evening from the west, with the
approach of another frontal system spreading in from the Atlantic.
After a rather breezy early morning, with a fresh to strong westerly
or southwesterly breeze, wind speeds have generally eased somewhat
during the day, particularly in the south. Temperatures have been
generally around normal for the time of year in the south, and a
little below normal in the north, and overnight temperatures are
remaining rather mild due to increasing cloud and wind.
