00:00Hi there. Low pressure, unseasonably breezy with spells of rain.

00:05For some parts of the UK, Tuesday's weather will be very different compared with the weather we've often seen so far this summer.

00:13For north-western parts of the UK, we have had some wet and breezy weather at times.

00:17But the rain that's moving through the UK will, I suspect, be welcome rain for many southern and eastern parts,

00:24albeit not nearly enough to make up for the shortfall that we have seen through the year so far.

00:29And it's north-western parts that we'll actually see the wettest weather once again.

00:33North-west England, parts of Wales, the south-west of Scotland.

00:37Once the main band of rain pushes through north-east England and the Midlands,

00:40we'll see showers wrapped round the low, some thunderstorms for central, southern Scotland, northern Ireland, parts of Wales, for example.

00:47And a lot of cloud, unseasonably breezy with the brisk winds wrapped round the low to the south of the centre,

00:54affecting particularly western parts of Wales and the south-west.

00:58Now, the far south-east could see one or two showers later, but otherwise it's mostly dry and bright.

01:03And some brightness there for the north of Scotland, where we do get the rain and the wind elsewhere.

01:09However, it is going to feel much cooler compared with recent summer weather.

01:15And we continue to see those showers coming down across especially the central parts of the UK through the evening.

01:22Again, some heavy downpours, some rumbles of thunder.

01:24Many of the showers move away, though, overnight.

01:27We keep one or two.

01:29But for the vast majority, it turns drier, it turns clearer as well.

01:32And it's going to be a cooler night for sleeping compared with many of the nights we've seen so far this summer.

01:38But it turns cloudier once again towards the south-west of England.

01:41Outbreaks of rain turning up by dawn, that keeping things milder.

01:46And I think that it's towards the south-west where we'll see the cloudiest and dampest weather on Wednesday.

01:53The rain band doesn't move far through the day.

01:56Elsewhere, still a few showers for central and southern Scotland, northern and eastern England.

02:00But these peter out by the afternoon.

02:02And for many, it's a drier and sunnier day once again.

02:05And a warmer, more humid day, mid to possibly high 20s in the south-east.

02:11And we're going to see the cloud towards the south-west slowly filter into the south of Wales on Wednesday evening, bringing some spots of rain.

02:20Not much.

02:22Wet weather also returns to Northern Ireland at this stage.

02:25And this frontal system is associated with another low that turns up for Thursday.

02:31But this low is going to push to the north-west of the UK.

02:33And these weather fronts are going to linger across Western Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-west England.

02:38And again, that's where the wettest weather will be.

02:40Elsewhere, it's drier, it's sunnier and it's warmer once again.

02:44But by the weekend, low pressure ends up coming along and bringing widespread showers and breezy conditions up and down the country.

02:52So a marked change of the weather on the way for the next few days.

02:56And a real difference for many places compared with summer so far.

02:59Bye-bye.
