Friday 13th February Good morning, everyone. It's Friday, 13th February, and winter's certainly making its presence known across the UK today. Let's begin in the south-east, where temperatures are peaking around 9°C. We’ve had a fairly clear start, but as we head into the late afternoon, keep an umbrella handy as rain is expected to sweep through by 5pm and continuing on into the evening. Turning to the south-west, it's a touch milder with highs reaching just over 11°C. A somewhat wet day ahead with showers dotting the morning, but look forward to clearer skies as night falls. Moving up to the Midlands and northern England, it's a bit on the chillier side with highs lingering around 4 to 5°C. Periodic rain throughout the morning and into early afternoon in the Midlands, easing off later. Northern England holds onto patchy showers earlier on but expect things to brighten up slightly towards the evening. Heading over to Wales, expect similar trends with early morning sunshine giving way to rather gusty conditions and intermittent rain, especially around lunchtime. Temperatures here will hover just above 8°C. Across into Northern Ireland, it's another cool day, with temperatures notching into the mid-5s. There will be bursts of sunshine peeking through late in the afternoon, providing a rather pleasant end to the day after brief showers here and there. In Scotland, temperatures are even brisker. It’ll be predominantly dry today with some delightful sunny periods gracing the region from mid-afternoon – a little brightness that's certainly welcome at this time of year. That’s all for now! Keep warm and take care with any travel plans, especially if you're caught in one of those bursts of rain. Have a lovely day, and we'll see you soon for the weekend outlook.

Suspended amidst the clouds, a floating island reflects the charm of a Cotswolds village on a grey winter day. Tiny stone cottages with moss-covered roofs dot the landscape, their chimneys puffing wisps of smoke into the crisp air. Wispy clouds drift lazily around the island, their grey hues echoing the overcast skies, while bare trees stand silhouetted against the sky, adding a touch of seasonal starkness.
