00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. I'm Marco Britannia.
00:03We've got an onset of a week of weather in store across the UK, a fairly active jet stream
00:07feeding areas of low pressure in from the west, one low pressure system after another,
00:11so we'll see spells of wet and at times fairly windy weather affecting all parts of the UK.
00:15Back to the detail hour for today, and we've got some sunshine this morning across the
00:19south and east, certainly to start with. Showers from the word go out towards northern and
00:22western spots. As we go through the morning, those showers will start to migrate their
00:26way eastwards, so most areas will see some showers, and those showers out towards the
00:29west, tending to merge to give some more persistent outbreaks of rain as we head into the afternoon.
00:34Certainly across Northern Ireland and parts of Wales, we can see some quite heavy bursts
00:37heading into the second part of the day. Quite a blustery day once again, particularly
00:41towards the north and north-west. Local gale still possible here, and temperatures quite
00:45disappointing for the time of year in the range low to mid-teens towards the north and west of the UK,
00:50locally up towards the upper teens, up to 18 Celsius, 64 in Fahrenheit though,
00:54giving the best of the sunshine towards the south and east. As we head into the evening and
00:58through the overnight period, outbreaks of rain will start to move in from the west,
01:01pushing eastwards across all parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. So it's the north
01:05of Scotland holding onto the best of the clear spells between some showers, and rain slowly
01:09clearing for most areas into the early hours of Tuesday. So by the end of the night, it will
01:13be a case of clear spells and scattered showers. Most of the showers by Tuesday morning,
01:17up towards the north and west. Again, quite blustery in nature, and certainly quite chilly under the
01:20clear spells in the north there. We could see a touch of frost once again by Tuesday morning,
01:24whereas towards the south, temperatures generally hold up in double figures.
01:27As for Tuesday itself, well, plenty of bright weather in the morning, just one or two showers
01:31around again, especially towards the north and north-west. But notice out towards the west and
01:34south-west some more persistent spells of rain gathering, and those start to push east and
01:38north-eastwards across most of the UK as we head through the day. It's just the north of Scotland
01:42heading into the afternoon. It will hold onto some sunshine between the scattering of showers.
01:47Temperatures a little bit down on where they should be for the time of year, certainly out towards the north and
01:50west into the low to mid, locally up 18 Celsius, peaking in the south-east at 20 Celsius at 68 in Fahrenheit.
01:57That's pretty much it for me, but of course you can keep tuned to the Met Office forecast
