00:00Hello again. It's been a dry day for many of us away from the far north of Scotland
00:05here. It's been a much wetter story because we've had a front lying here and that's brought
00:10some heavy persistent rain with totals building up. That front's going to continue to sit
00:15over northern Scotland for a little while yet, but that rain will be easing as we go
00:19overnight into Tuesday. Otherwise, across many parts of the country, a dry day and a
00:24largely dry night. A few spots of rain here or there, but also some clear skies across
00:29central and eastern parts in particular, although the cloud is going to be building as we go
00:33through the early hours of Tuesday morning. With the cloud building, there's the risk
00:37of some low cloud developing, particularly across southern parts. This could bring some
00:41murkiness, some hill fog, and there will be a few spots of rain as well, particularly
00:45across western parts of Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland. Here we'll have some wetter
00:49weather starting to push its way in as we head towards dawn. With all the cloud and
00:53some mild air across us at the moment, temperatures not really dropping a huge amount overnight,
00:58a pretty mild start to the day on Tuesday morning for many of us, but with that, a blustery
01:04start and we're actually going to see the wind strengthening through the day. If we
01:07take a closer look at that, and we have a low pressure system coming through, and here
01:11are our gusts. You can see around exposed coastal parts of western UK and later on across
01:16northern parts as we go overnight into Wednesday. There's a risk of gales in those coastal areas
01:21in particular, but even inland it is going to turn quite blustery. By the time we get
01:26to Wednesday itself, the strongest winds will really be for the Northern Isles where
01:29it could be pretty windy indeed. If we look at the details though for Tuesday, and like
01:34I said, a bit of a wet start across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, that rain
01:38becoming more widespread through the morning could be quite heavy at times too, so some
01:42heavy rain to go alongside those blustery winds for some parts. Across the rest of the
01:47country, across central southern parts of England and Wales in particular, and especially
01:51towards the east, actually staying largely dry here and there should be some breaks in
01:55the cloud. Perhaps a bit cloudier than on Monday, but nonetheless some sunshine at
02:00times, and it's a bit further west that we'll start to see some outbreaks of rain pushing
02:04its way in as we go through into the latter stages of the day. The winds will be picking
02:10up and so the winds will make it feel colder than these temperatures suggest, but they
02:14are a little bit above average for the time of year, or a fair bit above average for some
02:19places. So a mild day, albeit a blustery or windy day with some wet weather towards the
02:24north and west in particular. That rain then in the northwest becomes more widespread as
02:29we go through Tuesday evening and overnight, so although it will be a dry day towards the
02:33southeast, it will turn damp or wet at times as we go into Wednesday morning. So a pretty
02:38wet blustery night to come, and with that then temperatures again not dropping a huge
02:43amount at all. In fact, many places are staying in the high single figures or low double digits,
02:49so a very mild start to the day, albeit a rather unsettled one. As we go through Wednesday
02:54itself then, a lot of cloud, a lot of outbreaks of rain, not especially heavy, but some wet
02:59weather to be had, and those blustery winds, like I said, becoming confined largely just
03:04to the far north. A lot of that clears away for a time, but then we have another system
03:07coming in later on Wednesday, and that's going to bring some heavier, more persistent rain
03:11from the southwest as we go through later Wednesday into Thursday. But temperatures
03:17on Wednesday are actually going to be even higher than through the start of this week,
03:21rising as some even milder air gets dragged in, so mid-teens for quite a few places, albeit
03:27towards the north, will start to see our temperatures dropping as we go through the day as some
03:30cold air starts to make its way in. As we look further ahead through the rest of the
03:35week, and yes, we have this wet weather that's going to push its way across central southern
03:39parts, could see some high totals, could see some issues as we go through Thursday, but
03:43that then clears away. A ridge of high pressure quietens things down for a short period of
03:47time before another front pushes its way through as we go through Friday. With that,
03:51we are going to see our temperatures dropping quite markedly as we go towards the end of
03:56the week, and so it is going to be much colder by Thursday or Friday than it is at the moment.
04:01For more information about that, check out our week ahead video. Otherwise, I'll see
04:04you again soon. Bye bye.
