"The weather is looking good for most of Scotland.

"There might be some patchy showers in the southeast of Scotland, but these should pass.

"Temperatures are looking relatively mild, expect 9°C in Edinburgh

Smog has been known to develop in calmer conditions the day after Bonfire Night, though Miles suggests that this won't be the case in Edinburgh on November 6.

"I think it's going to be breezier tomorrow so there's little chance of smog gathering."
