00:00Hello, good afternoon.

00:02You may be hoping for some rain in the week ahead just to water your garden.

00:05If that's the case, you're likely to be very disappointed because high pressure is going

00:08to dominate through most of the week ahead and for the vast majority of the UK.

00:13There will be a few weather fronts at times in the southwest and the far south, but they're

00:16likely to just bring a few hit and miss showers and high pressure is likely to bring it generally

00:20dry conditions for all of us.

00:22But back to Sunday afternoon and it's blue skies and sunny conditions for the vast majority

00:27of the UK and it's going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine as well.

00:31Still quite breezy in the far southwest of England here, gusts of 30, perhaps even 40

00:34miles per hour very, very locally, but generally light winds and feeling very pleasant indeed

00:39in that strong sunshine.

00:40You'll notice some of these North Sea coastal regions though here, it's going to be quite

00:44a bit cooler and cloudier, so fairly grey skies here and temperatures a little bit suppressed,

00:48perhaps no better than 19 to 21 degrees Celsius, so certainly feeling fairly cool for some of

00:54us, but otherwise temperatures into the mid 20s degrees, perhaps as high as 27 or even

00:58locally 28 degrees, so feeling very warm indeed.

01:03As we go into this evening then, that cloud across the North Sea coastal regions will tend

01:06to drift its way gradually westwards as we go through the evening and overnight hours,

01:11so central and some even western parts of the UK will turn fairly cloudy.

01:15That cloud thick enough to give just the odd spot or two of light rain and drizzle perhaps

01:19in places as well, so turning a little bit damp here and there.

01:23Further west though, particularly western Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of southwest

01:27England, well here we like to hold on to clearer conditions and perhaps a little bit cooler in

01:32the countryside.

01:33Overall though, that cloud will act like a blanket, so temperatures are milder than last

01:37night, so really not dropping much below 14 or 15 degrees Celsius in most of the towns

01:42and cities.

01:44So Monday is likely to start on a much cloudier note for many of us compared to on Sunday.

01:49That cloud is still perhaps bringing the odd spitting spot of drizzle or light rain in

01:53the air, particularly across the Midlands and parts of northeast England, and here it's

01:56going to be particularly stubborn, that cloud too clear, so I am expecting it to stay fairly

02:01cloudy for most of the day in those regions.

02:04Otherwise, the sunshine tending to break through gradually, particularly in southern and eastern

02:08parts of England.

02:10The best of the sunshine perhaps though for more central or western parts of Scotland on

02:13Monday and parts of Northern Ireland, and here we like to see temperatures perhaps

02:18into the mid-twenties, 25 or 26 degrees in a few spots.

02:23Down across the southwest, not quite as breezy as it has been over the weekend, but here we

02:26like to see a chance at least of some scattered showers breaking out, and potentially even

02:31the odd thundery shower in places too.

02:34Now those showers through Monday afternoon and Monday evening will start to drift their way

02:39a little bit further northwards, so parts of Pembrokeshire could see the odd shower too,

02:42but most places will end the day on Monday dry, and some places will stay fairly sunny

02:47as well.

02:49Now if you're wanting to know what's going to happen for the rest of the week ahead, and

02:52if there is going to be any showers or rain in the south on Tuesday, then do make sure

02:55you're following us on our social media channels.

02:57But that's everything from me, and I'll see you again very soon.
