00:00Hopefully you're not tiring of the sunshine, the blue skies, because there is plenty more

00:05to come as we go through, well, much of this week.

00:08High pressure firmly in control.

00:11It does shift around a little bit as a result.

00:13Our wind direction changes and how much moisture, how much cloud we're going to see will alter

00:18a little bit.

00:19But on the whole, high pressure is the story this week.

00:22And so there is going to be lots of fine settled weather.

00:24And that's the picture that we have through Monday afternoon, barely a cloud in the sky

00:28for most of us, albeit a little bit of cloud out towards the North Sea and across the far

00:33north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland, having a bit of cloud here.

00:36Otherwise, plenty of sunshine and slightly lighter winds than we saw over the weekend.

00:41There was a bit of a nagging breeze for a few places, albeit across some eastern and

00:46southern coastal parts, a bit of a breeze here.

00:48And so that's going to make it feel a touch cooler for some places.

00:51But further west, that's where we're going to see the highest temperatures peaking mid

00:55teens for most of us, highs of around 17 or 18 Celsius, perhaps.

00:59So feeling pretty warm indeed.

01:02It is worth bearing in mind, though, the sun does have some decent strength behind it now,

01:06generally moderate UV levels.

01:08So do take care if you're going to be out in the sunshine for any prolonged periods

01:11of time.

01:13After a sunny day, we have then a largely clear evening and mostly clear night.

01:17Still some cloud, though, for the far north of Scotland.

01:20And there will be some low clouds, some mist, some fog patches pushing into areas around

01:25the Humber and even elsewhere with the clear skies, light winds, a few pockets of mist

01:29and fog are quite possible.

01:31And with that, we are going to see temperatures turning a little bit on the chilly side, dropping

01:36low single figures in quite a few places, could even be a touch of frost in some prone

01:41rural spots.

01:42So a chilly start to the day on Tuesday for most.

01:45And with that, there's also likely to be a zone of cloud developing somewhere to the

01:49south of London, similar to what we saw through this morning, a Surrey sausage, if you will.

01:54So that shouldn't last particularly long.

01:55That will clear away, as will most of the mist and fog patches that will have developed

02:00overnight, albeit some around perhaps southeast Scotland, northeast England may linger for

02:04a little while through the day.

02:06Generally, I think there will again be lots of sunshine, lots of blue skies on offer as

02:11we go through tomorrow, but perhaps the sunshine a little bit hazier, a bit more high level

02:15cloud around and actually across some parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire, a bit more cloud

02:20in general.

02:21But still, it is going to be a pretty fine picture and actually temperatures are going

02:26to be a little bit higher than today.

02:28Towards the west is where we're again going to see the highest temperatures, highs around

02:3218, 19 Celsius, perhaps in the east where we get the cloud.

02:36It will feel a little bit cooler, but nonetheless feeling pretty warm in that spring sunshine.

02:42As we go towards the end of the week, we are sticking with high pressure.

02:45And so that means we're going to continue to see some pretty warm days.

02:49Like I said at the start, though, the high pressure shifts around a little bit, our wind

02:52direction changes.

02:53And so where we see the highest temperatures, that will shift a little bit.

02:57In fact, across some eastern parts of Scotland between Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures

03:01are going to jump quite markedly.

03:04But with the high pressure, the clear skies, we're going to still have some relatively

03:08cool nights for the time being.

03:11Towards the end of the week, signs of some rain pushing its way in from the north-northwest,

03:15but we'll firm up on the details for that nearer the time.

03:18If you want to know a bit more about what the weather is going to be doing through this

03:22week, check out our week ahead forecast with Honour, which will be available on our YouTube

03:25channel later on this afternoon.

03:27Otherwise, I'll see you again soon.

03:29Bye bye.
