00:00 Hello there. As is often the case at this point in the year, the UK finds itself as
00:05 the battleground between colder and milder air. We had a 10 degree difference in temperature
00:10 on Saturday as we saw competing air masses between the north and the south of the UK.
00:15 In the north we have a little bit more of a polar influence with those winds stretching
00:18 in from the north, but to the south those winds are circling around this area of high
00:23 pressure filtering in some very mild conditions all the way from parts of northwest Africa.
00:27 As we head throughout Sunday, that milder air is going to slowly push its way further
00:31 northwards, increasingly stretching into more areas of the UK. The boundary of this colder
00:37 and milder air at the moment is this warm front, and that is bringing quite persistent
00:41 areas of rainfall for parts of western Scotland. Very miserable, dreary afternoon to come here.
00:48 The rain should clear off for Northern Ireland, but some drizzle will persist and we will
00:52 have some outbreaks for parts of northwest England as well. Some drizzle, Mr Merck still
00:56 along coastal districts and the hills of Wales and southwest England. A few clearer, sunnier
01:00 spells perhaps a bit more than the graphics show here for central eastern areas of England.
01:04 A blustery day for all of us, some quite strong gusts for Northern Ireland and Northern England,
01:09 but those temperatures will still be above average for the time of year thanks to that
01:13 southwesterly flow of air. Many of us around 12-13 degrees Celsius, again potentially 14,
01:19 locally 15 degrees Celsius in some spots. You'll notice though that the far north of
01:23 Scotland do still hold onto that polar influence, so some colder air here. And as this rain
01:28 across Scotland does just shift its way slightly further northwards, we could see a bit of
01:31 snow on the leading edge of that as it moves into the colder air ahead of it for the likes
01:35 of Caverness and Sutherland. The rain though will stay persistent right throughout the
01:39 night for western Scotland and a rain warning is in force. Elsewhere, reasonably cloudy,
01:43 again a few clearer spells around at times, but still remaining very blustery with some
01:47 outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Another mild night for all of us, temperatures
01:52 in most of our towns and cities won't drop much below 7-9 degrees Celsius, but the far
01:57 north of Scotland just holds onto the north end of that cold system, so a touch of frost
02:03 is possible for the likes of Shetland and Orkney in the very far north of the Highlands.
02:09 We will though see that rainfall really persistent throughout Monday as well, potentially 170mm
02:14 of rain building up by the end of the day. Some localised disruption is possible, so
02:18 it is worth planning ahead and taking care throughout the day.
02:21 Another blustery, mild, cloudy day for the vast majority of us, though again a lot of
02:26 mist and murk around some coastal districts, outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Some very strong
02:30 gusts of wind, particularly for again northern districts, Northern Ireland into parts of
02:35 central Scotland. Now it is actually going to be the far north of Scotland on the other
02:39 side of that rain band that sees some of the lightest winds around, but still very cold
02:43 here, temperatures will be only around low single figures at best. Elsewhere, temperatures
02:49 are a touch down on Monday compared to where we have seen them throughout the weekend,
02:53 but still above average for the time of year, widely in double digit figures, 10, 11, maybe
02:59 12 degrees Celsius. Into Monday evening and overnight into Tuesday,
03:05 we will finally see this rain band clear its way off from parts of western Scotland as
03:10 it slowly pushes its way southwards, so increasingly moving into Northern Ireland and parts of
03:14 Northern England later on on Tuesday. But as those fronts slowly push their way southwards
03:20 and make their way into the central southern areas of the UK, we will start to see that
03:24 colder air in the north spreading its way down behind that, so that battle between the
03:28 cold and the milder air is still set to continue right throughout the week, and certainly by
03:33 Wednesday many of us could be seeing a slightly cooler and chillier day to come.
03:38 But we'll have plenty more updates on that as we head over the next few days, so make
03:42 sure you're subscribing to the YouTube channel for all of those, and we'll see you again
03:45 here very soon. Bye bye.
03:46 Thank you.
