00:00 Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It's been a cloudy and
00:05 grey afternoon for many of us, but it doesn't look like much is changing over the next few
00:09 days. Low pressure very much in charge through the rest of the weekend. There is a brief
00:14 drier interlude as we head into Monday, but another area of low pressure waiting in the
00:18 wings. With that south-westerly wind as well, we will be holding on to that milder air that
00:22 we've seen over recent days.
00:25 Back to the rest of Saturday evening, and a heavy rain pushes its way north and eastwards
00:30 through Saturday evening and into the start of Sunday. Particularly heavy across southern
00:34 parts of Scotland, but then later across parts of Wales and south-west England as that next
00:38 band of rain pushes up from the south-west. Under all that cloud and rain, and some blustery
00:43 winds too, it will be staying mild, with temperatures only dropping to around 10 or 11 degrees here.
00:49 Across Northern Ireland and Scotland though, there will be some drier conditions and some
00:52 clear spells, and that will allow temperatures to drop down into the low single figures.
00:57 So a bit of a chillier start across Northern Ireland and Scotland, but a much brighter
01:01 start. Plenty of sunshine as we head through the morning, definitely compared to parts
01:05 of England and Wales as well. That rain will eventually clear its way eastwards through
01:09 Sunday into the afternoon, with some sunny spells developing quite widely across much
01:14 of England and Wales. However, there will be some showers bubbling up too, and these
01:17 could be quite heavy in places. With all that sunshine, temperatures staying mild, staying
01:22 well above average for the time of year, around 16 or 17 degrees across parts of England and
01:27 Wales, and even for Scotland we could see 12 to 14 degrees.
01:32 Through Sunday evening, those showers across much of England, Wales and Northern Ireland
01:36 will gradually start to ease, so turning drier for most of us overnight, with some clear
01:40 spells. Another band of rain does push its way eastwards through the early hours of Monday
01:44 morning, so a damp start in places, but for many of us there will be some clear swells
01:49 around, and that will allow temperatures to drop a little lower compared to Saturday night.
01:53 Temperatures widely around 6, 7, 8 degrees, but perhaps dropping just a touch lower in
01:58 some rural spots.
02:00 So a damp start under that band of rain through the morning, but it does push its way eastwards
02:04 relatively quickly through the morning, and does start to break up as it does so. This
02:08 will leave plenty of sunshine through much of Monday, so plenty of sunshine on offer
02:12 as we head into the afternoon. Away from Northern Ireland though, this is where we'll start
02:16 to see some cloud building into the afternoon, and heavy rain pushing up from the southwest,
02:20 so a damp end to Monday here.
02:23 In all that sunshine though, it will be another mild day, highs again of 15, 16, perhaps even
02:27 17 degrees, so feeling very spring-like and pleasant in that sunshine, but for Northern
02:32 Ireland definitely starting to feel a little cooler, despite temperatures still in the
02:36 double figures.
02:38 Those unsettled conditions do continue as we head through much of next week, so make
02:42 sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel so you never miss a weather update.
02:45 Bye bye!
