John: rain in the southeast should clear. Some sunshine develops for the afternoon along with a few heavy showers across Eastern Scotland down through central England.

Simon: This is going to be a frustrating week for forecasters. Weather models are changing with each run, and although the changes are slight they make the difference between and dry week and a wet week for the UK.

Simon: Keep your fingers crossed because the weather may well become more settled from the middle of next week. This could bring a few days of fair weather, and warming up too. Only northern Scotland may see rain at times.

Simon: Some slow moving and heavy showers forming through today, most in the west. Cloudier through eastern parts of the country.
