Good morning,

Despite a very chilly start yesterday, it turned out to be very nice with long spells of sunshine and the good news that we can bring you is it is set to be the same again. In the sun, it actually felt rather warm and today, temperatures will hover around the 15 - 16 degrees celcius mark.

Better weather to come with temperatures expected to reach 20 degrees or higher over the next couple of days.

Traffic

Roads

All lanes have reopened on the M1 southbound between j5 for Watford and j4 following a crash between two cars earlier this morning. And delays between those two junctions have cleared.

But as predicted, the crash has had a terrible affect on the M1 southbound between Bricket Wood and Watford and on the A405. 

Traffiic is solid between j6 and j5, which already queues every day, even if there are no reports of any incidents.

And the A405 in both directions between the M1 and M25 is a lot slower than usual too. The delays have had no affect on the M25 at j21a.

Meanwhile, some delays on the M25. Clockwise at j23, anti-clockwise from j17 to the M40, and anti-clockwise at the M11.

Very busy on the North Circular in the usual hotspots; in particular near Arnos Grove.

Delays on the A1 southbound approaching Stirling Corner in Borehamwood and longer queues than usual on the A41 between Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley.

Rail

Good service on all lines.
