Bonfire Night weather: Rain mostly to clear leaving mild evening for fireworks

After days of rain, people heading to bonfires across the country tonight look set for a drier evening, according to the Met Office.

The South-east, London and south Wales will see the clouds clearing as the evening sets in and staying dry from about 8pm.

Temperatures will hover around 12 to 13 C in these areas, with the Met Office still advising warm coats and wellington boots.

In northern England, southern Scotland and the Midlands, meanwhile, the evening would see a few showers but should also not be too wet.

Winds would be blowing in these areas, however, bringing temperatures down slightly.

A Met Office spokesman said: "It will be windy in those areas, which might blow some smoke around and cause some localised issues.

"But it should be fairly reasonable conditions for going out. We'd advise still wrapping up warm."
