, variable cloud and clear spells will occur, with local grass frost and isolated fog patches forming. Friday will feel warm in sunshine and light winds for many, with temperatures widely ranging from 15-17°C, locally reaching 18°C, though cooler along North Sea coasts. On Friday night, frontal rain across

A fine and settled day is expected across much of England and Wales, with early patchy low cloud and isolated fog in southern and western areas soon clearing to leave widespread sunshine. Temperatures will respond accordingly, with much of the region turning warm or very warm through the afternoon

A noticeable increase in cloud cover across much of the UK compared to recent days

Saturday will bring a noticeable increase in cloud cover across much of the UK compared to recent days, though parts of the south and southwest will enjoy the best of the sunshine. Scattered showers are expected, particularly in western areas, with Northern Ireland likely to see more persistent

region. From this viewpoint at 35,000 km above the Equator the extent of the fog can clearly be seen. Using data from channels detecting radiation at visible and near infra-red wavelengths we can produce an image that is close to true colour, however ice clouds and snow on the ground appear

-colour image highlights where snow is lying on the ground. They are created using five channels in the near-infra-red part of the spectrum so things look a little different to what the human eye would see. Snow can be easily differentiated from the white cloud as it now appears in a bright orange
