00:00 Hello. Some heavy rain around overnight, particularly across parts of central and eastern England.
00:05 A bright and breezy Tuesday for most of the UK. But as I said, some quite heavy bursts
00:10 of rain around at the moment, particularly through parts of Lincolnshire and East Anglia,
00:15 especially North Norfolk. Some thunderstorms here before steadily clearing away through
00:19 the early hours. Some clearer skies for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England
00:23 should allow temperatures to dip down into single figures, certainly in the countryside.
00:27 Most towns and cities double digits and quite a mild night with all the cloud across the
00:32 southeast. A grey start then to Tuesday with still some outbreaks of rain, especially over
00:37 the Midlands, more central parts of southern England. That rain moving across East Anglia
00:42 and the southeast through the rush hour as well. So a lot of spray surface water on the
00:46 roads. It does scoot away by lunchtime, bright skies following. There will be some showers
00:50 as well, particularly for Northern England, parts of Western Scotland, a sprinkling for
00:55 Northern Ireland. Stay quite breezy to across the north elsewhere. A bit of a breeze, some
00:59 sunny spells, small chance of a shower for Wales and southwest England. But much of the
01:04 south and east, I suspect, will stay dry and bright. A somewhat fresher feel with temperatures
01:09 mostly in the midst of maybe high teens could squeak up to 20 Celsius in the capital, but
01:14 generally say 14 to 19 Celsius to cover it. So around about average for the time of year.
01:20 Still a few showers around on Tuesday evening, mostly Western Scotland, northwest England
01:24 and then actually another area of more persistent rain comes into parts of Western Scotland.
01:29 That needs watching because it's likely to linger for a good part of Wednesday. See this
01:34 train of rain continuing to feed in. That could cause, say, some issues, potential for
01:40 some disruption, probably getting into parts of the north of Northern Ireland late in the
01:44 day. For the bulk of England and Wales, Wednesday, a fine bright day, a few scattered showers,
01:50 mostly for Wales and western England. Much of the east will stay dry and a bit of sunshine
01:54 again could see temperatures into the high teens. But that wet weather across the northwest
01:59 likely to linger as a sudden so could cause a few issues. There is a Met Office yellow
02:03 warning in place being caused by this trailing, waving weather front. It doesn't really stop
02:09 on Wednesday night and into Thursday we see another low pressure bringing another set
02:14 of weather fronts into this zone. So that rain really building up through the second
02:18 half of the week. Meanwhile, for the south through the second half of the week, high
02:22 pressure is in control. And if we rewind and run through that sequence again, but with
02:28 the temperatures on the middle of the week, temperatures around average. But actually,
02:32 as we head towards Friday, as that low pressure starts to pull away, yes, it's going to stay
02:37 wet with those weather fronts in the northwest. But look at the warmth of the air drifting
02:41 northwards. The temperatures could really jump up, particularly by the weekend. Make
02:46 sure you stay up to date with the latest forecasts and the best way to do that, of course, followers
02:50 across social media.
