00:00has been named because of a deep low that's moving in for the middle of the
00:04week this week and the potential for disruption from that low. But before that
00:09happens actually, Monday's a fine day for many, we've got cloud clearing the
00:12southeast, plenty of sunshine towards the south and the east of the UK, a bit more
00:16cloud elsewhere, some showers for Wales, Northern England, the bulk of the
00:20showers though for Central and Western Scotland where it will also be breezy.
00:24With that breeze feeling cool but naturally still some warmth around and
00:28temperatures above average with 23 Celsius in the southeast and feeling
00:33pleasant enough with the sunshine here and lighter winds compared with the
00:36northwest. Then into the evening we keep the clear skies for a time and with
00:41winds easing towards the south and the east, the potential for some mist patches
00:45to form during the hours of darkness, some patchy cloud elsewhere particularly
00:48towards the west, the wind will pick up once again by dawn and we've got
00:52outbreaks of rain just approaching the Outer Hebrides and Western parts of
00:55Northern Ireland by this stage. Now with the breeze and some patchy cloud around
01:00it will allow temperatures to stay in the teens in places but in some sheltered
01:05rural spots we'll see single figures and a fresh start for some as we begin
01:11Tuesday. Some early brightness but actually quite quickly showers move into
01:16the south of England, into the Midlands, East Anglia and the southeast during the
01:20morning. Another area of rain moves through Northern Ireland, a wet start
01:23here, that rain advancing into Scotland, Northern England although further south
01:27the rain associated with this will be more of a mixture of sunny spells and
01:31showers and the rain does turn showery across Scotland and Northern Ireland
01:35with the chance of a thunderstorm or two in Northern Ireland and Western Scotland
01:39by the afternoon. It's going to be breezy for many of us particularly towards the
01:43north and northwest where there's the chance of coastal gales and it's going
01:47to feel cooler in the northwest with that breeze but still 20 to 22 Celsius
01:51possible in the southeast so still some warmth with the sunshine. Then into the
01:57evening the showers ease away for a time, the wind also eases but we've still got
02:00some outbreaks of rain across Scotland, Northern England, North Wales and
02:04Northern Ireland but by this stage developments are taking place quite
02:08quickly across the Atlantic. This is Monday into Tuesday, a developing area of
02:13low pressure that we've now named Agnes. It's really as it moves on to the cold
02:17side of the jet stream that gets spun up to a very deep system indeed for the
02:22start of Wednesday initially bringing its strongest winds to the Republic of
02:25Ireland and then that swathe of strong winds moves into western parts of the UK
02:30especially although not exclusively during Wednesday Irish Sea coastal areas
02:35with the risk of 70-75 mile per hour wind gusts or perhaps in some of the more
02:40exposed spots a little more than that and that could cause some significant
02:44disruption that's why Storm Agnes has been named. Stay tuned to all the latest
02:48updates here and the Met Office will keep you updated over the next couple of
02:51days on what Storm Agnes could bring and we'll have those updates on our YouTube
02:55channel and other social media platforms.
