00:00Good afternoon, well many of us have seen plenty of warm spring sunshine but a

00:05change is in store with much colder conditions coming down from the north

00:09and that's all to do with this cold front across northern parts of Scotland.

00:13It will gradually sink its way southwards introducing a much colder air

00:18than what we've had in recent days. For all of us this will come through on

00:22Tuesday. So through the rest of this afternoon there are many places holding on to

00:28a good deal of sunshine across much of the UK. Hazy at times across the

00:32southwest but across the far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland that's

00:37where we have heavier spells of rain associated with this cold front. But for

00:43temperatures it's still going to be feeling a pleasant especially for the

00:46time of year. We'll see highs climbing 18, 19 possibly even 20 degrees across

00:52central parts of England today. So well above average for this time of year.

00:58So as we go through Sunday evening then it is going to be turning damp across much

01:02of Scotland as this band of rain continues to slowly sink its way

01:06southwards. We'll turn wintry on the hills as well with a blustery wind

01:10coming in from the north. Elsewhere holding on to a lot more cloud across

01:14southern parts of England perhaps even with a few spots of rain. But for most

01:18places it should stay frost free perhaps with some mist and fog patches

01:23developing. So as we start Monday morning then actually it's going to be a pretty

01:28murky picture with har and fret across the eastern coast and this band of rain

01:33will gradually sink its way southwards. Generally eases as it gets

01:37into northern parts of England. Behind that blustery showers moving through but

01:42ahead of it across much of England and Wales. A little bit more cloud compared

01:46to recent days with some showery outbreaks of rain across the far south

01:50but there will be some brighter interludes. Here temperatures won't be as

01:54mild as recent days so still up into the double figures 14 possibly 15 degrees

02:00but a contrast in the north. Temperatures will be falling away so feeling colder

02:05and especially with that brisk wind as well that will just take the edge off

02:09those temperatures. So as we go through Monday evening we hold on to this murky

02:14conditions across the eastern coast. The rain generally fizzling out but a lot of

02:18cloud still across much of England, Wales, Northern Ireland but behind that

02:22we hold on to the clearest skies, blustery showers, temperatures falling

02:27away so a touch of frost in places especially across Scotland as we start

02:31Tuesday. But for all of us that cold wear will eventually reach the south so

02:37all of us it will be feeling colder on Tuesday there'll be some bright spells

02:40and then as we go into Wednesday it's a case of sunny spells and scattered

02:45showers. That's all from me for now though but make sure to hit subscribe

02:48so you don't miss an update and I'll see you soon. Bye bye.
