Summary of UK Weather for Thursday 06 March 2008.
A slow moving warm front cleared the far northeast of Scotland during
the early hours of this morning. Otherwise, the UK has been under the
influence of a stable warm sector airflow. A cold front approaching
from the west reached Northern Ireland this evening, and is
continuing to progress eastwards. Outbreaks of rain over Scotland at
first cleared the northeast coast by mid morning. Otherwise, it has
been a generally dry day, except for a few spots of light, drizzly
rain at times, mainly over high ground in the north and west. A band
of rather persistent rain has spread into Northern Ireland and
northwest Scotland this evening, and is moving east. It has been a
generally cloudy day for most today, with some bright or sunny spells
at times, the best of these in central and southeastern parts of
England. Moderate to fresh westerly winds for much of the day veered
to southwesterly during the late afternoon and evening, and have been
strengthening steadily from the west. Daytime temperatures have been
near or a little above normal for the time of year, and are remaining
mild overnight.
