IT will be a cold and bright start with patchy frost and ice, especially on untreated surfaces.

However, most will be fine and cold with sunny spells and much lighter winds, although it will cloud over in the west later. Maximum temperature 9°C.

Cloud will generally become thicker overnight, although it should stay dry with a strengthening breeze developing through the early hours.

As a result, it will be milder and frost free. Minimum temperature 6°C.
