Friday starts with a sharp frost in much of England and Wales. It's milder across most of Northern Ireland and Scotland with rain in the far north.

Through the day there patchy outbreaks of rain affect northern and western Scotland. Elsewhere it remains dry and there will be sunny spells this morning in central and eastern areas. However, cloudier skies in the west steadily spread eastwards.

Temperatures range from 4C (39F) to 8C (48F). See the rain and lightning radar for the latest view.

Tonight outbreaks of rain spread further across the north west of the UK. In northern Scotland there could be some heavy ones later. Other areas stay dry and although cloudier skies mean it won't be as cold as during recent nights there could still be a touch of frost in places.
