00:00Hello welcome to your afternoon update from the Met Office. Bit of rain around
00:04tomorrow but apart from that many of us are going to have a pretty dry week
00:08thanks to high pressure dominating down to the southeast of the UK. Up to the
00:13northwest we've got a big area of low pressure, an intense area of low pressure
00:17barreling its way across Iceland but it's pushing away to the north. This
00:22trailing weather front though is fast approaching. The isobars are also
00:25squidging together so that's where the winds picking up and actually turning
00:29pretty wet and windy across the northwest of Scotland staying that way
00:32throughout the afternoon. A little bit of showery rain getting into Northern
00:36Ireland through the afternoon as well. There's a little bit of drizzle here and
00:39there over central parts of southern England and the Midlands drifting
00:42towards the southeast but that's really quite light and very patchy. Most of
00:46England and Wales staying dry. Quite cloudy across East Anglia in the
00:49southeast this afternoon but brightening up over the Midlands, southwest England,
00:53East Wales, parts of northeast England seeing some decent spells of sunshine. A
00:58little breezy here but certainly quite pleasant I suspect for early February
01:029, 10, 11 Celsius. The winds though are really picking up across the far
01:06northwest getting very gusty and blustery across northwest Scotland with
01:10that rain coming in and intensifying through this evening. Not very pleasant
01:14at all. That rain will spread across Northern Ireland and then really pep up
01:18across parts of southwest Scotland overnight and into Tuesday morning. So
01:22we've got our Met Office yellow warning in place for parts of southwest
01:25Scotland so that rain as I say could really build up here. We're seeing some
01:29of that rain by the end of the night trickle towards Anglesey, parts of the
01:33Lake District too but a good part of England and Wales staying dry overnight.
01:37Quite murky and misty again across the southeast but not as cold as last night.
01:41Temperatures mostly staying up at four or five degrees Celsius across central
01:46and eastern parts. Milder still further west temperatures starting tomorrow eight
01:51or nine Celsius. So not a cold start but it will be a wet and windy start through
01:54the central belt across parts of northwest England, northwest Wales. That
01:59rain pulling away from Northern Ireland could just push back into the east to
02:03affect Belfast for a time through the morning and then it crosses through
02:06Wales, southwest England. So things turning wet and windy here during
02:10tomorrow. Behind it, it turns brighter but with lots of showers packing in to
02:14northwest Scotland. Staying pretty windy in many areas particularly in the
02:19northwest through the night. Slowly easing a little tomorrow but the winds
02:23also picking up as this line of rain edges into the Midlands. Eastern parts
02:28of England generally staying dry through daylight hours but eventually that rain
02:31will come across here through the evening too. Temperature wise though
02:34double digits almost across the board. Obviously not feeling very pleasant if
02:38you're stuck under the zone of rain but that should be clearing so brighter
02:41skies to end the day for Northern England and Wales compared to the
02:45morning time. That area of rain, it's a weather front, will continue to trickle
02:49as I said towards East Anglia and the southeast but also continue to fizzle
02:52out. So it really amounted to too much during Tuesday evening by which time
02:56lots more showers packing into the northwest of Scotland and the north of
03:00Northern Ireland. Some thunderstorms possible, hail mixed in as well. There is
03:05that weather front pushing across. Now as we go through the next couple of days
03:09the isobars pointing out to the Atlantic so our winds are coming in from the west
03:14but we are going to see quite a big switch around through this week. That
03:16weather front moves out the way, high pressure moves in. That as I said at the
03:21start will bring many places some dry weather for most of this week. But as the
03:26high shifts up towards Scandinavia, well it means the winds have completely
03:30switched direction. So we start with a westerly wind, we're going to end the week
03:34with more of an easterly wind and that will bring colder air as we head towards
03:39the end of the week and into the weekend. Something we'll be watching closely as we
03:43go through this week. It is likely to turn quite a bit colder. Aiden will have
03:48much more on that in this week's fully detailed weather for the week ahead and
03:52that will be available on our YouTube channel by Monday afternoon so you may as
03:57well subscribe.
