00:00 Hello there, very good morning to you. It is a reasonably mild start to the new week
00:05 for many of us as we step outside and that's all due to our winds actually originating
00:09 from parts of North West Africa circling around this area of high pressure and feeding in
00:13 those mild conditions for pretty much all areas away from the far north of Scotland.
00:17 There are a lot of isobars on the chart though you'll see so those winds are going to be
00:21 fairly brisk, some strong gusts of wind around particularly for Northern Ireland, Central
00:25 Southern Scotland into Northern England as well. For Western Scotland though the main
00:30 talking point of the weather is certainly going to be the rainfall that set itself up
00:33 yesterday has been persistent throughout Sunday night and will remain persistent and occasionally
00:38 heavy throughout Monday as well. A rain warning is in force and some localised disruption
00:42 is possible. Elsewhere there'll be some outbreaks of drizzle for Western areas, some mist and
00:46 murk around coastal areas. We could hold on to a few clearer sunnier spells across Central
00:51 Eastern areas a bit more than the graphics may necessarily show here. And with those
00:55 south-westerly winds coming in it is again going to be another reasonably mild day, 11-10
01:00 degrees Celsius the top temperature for many of us but just remember the strength of those
01:05 winds does mean it will probably feel a touch colder when you are outside. To the north
01:10 of that rain band though we hold on to the colder air with a bit more of a polar influence
01:14 so 3 degrees Celsius the top temperature for Lerwick and as the colder air reaches this
01:19 rain band we could see a touch of snow for the likes of Caithness and Sutherland during
01:23 the day. Into this evening and overnight though it will eventually turn drier for Western
01:28 Scotland as the rain band pushes southwards. In return though that means it's going to
01:32 turn wetter for Northern Ireland, Northern areas of England. Reasonably drier further
01:37 towards the south but a cloudy mild blustery night for much of England and Wales. Again
01:43 with those south-westerly winds temperatures not dropping much below 9 or 10 degrees Celsius
01:48 they are actually temperatures we normally see during the day at this point in the year.
01:52 But as the rain band pushes southwards we'll see northerly winds pushing into areas of
01:56 Scotland so that colder air reaching more areas of the mainland as we kick off Tuesday
02:00 and a touch of frost is possible here. Throughout Tuesday we will essentially watch this rain
02:06 band slowly push its way further southwards. With the colder air digging in behind that
02:10 there is potential for some mountain snow across Northern Ireland into the Lake District,
02:14 the Pennines and North York Moors as well. A touch of brightness possible across the
02:18 far south-east during the day but the best of the sunshine will be filtering its way
02:21 in for Scotland as that rain eventually clears its way off. With northerly winds filtering
02:26 in some snow showers for the far north, winds quite brisk for the Northern Isles and Gales
02:31 around at times. Despite the sunshine though temperatures will be taking a bit of a tumble
02:36 in the north closer towards average for the time of year but certainly lower for Northern
02:42 Ireland and central Scotland compared to what we have seen on Sunday and Monday as well.
02:47 But where we see those southwesterly winds still pushing into the south we hold on to
02:51 the mild theme 13, 14 maybe even locally 15 degrees Celsius in a few spots. Might not
02:56 necessarily feel that mild though when you're stuck underneath the most persistent cloud
03:00 and rain. This rain band will continue to move its way
03:04 southwards as we head into Tuesday evening and overnight so generally most areas seeing
03:08 some brighter skies develop for Wednesday with just a touch of cloud and potentially
03:12 the milder air still holding on in the very far south. But a bit more widely wet and windy
03:17 for Thursday and depending on where that low pressure arrives into the cold air ahead of
03:22 it there is the potential for some sleet and snow around for some of us. And temperatures
03:28 always generally colder in the north where we see that colder air digging its way in,
03:33 potential still for some double digit figures towards the latter part of the week in the
03:36 far south. But we'll have plenty more updates on that on the full week ahead weather on
03:40 our YouTube channel so make sure you are subscribing for that and we'll see you here again very
03:45 soon. Bye bye.
