00:00Hello again.

00:01It was a fine sunny and warm end of the weekend for many of us and if you're after any rain

00:05in the week ahead then you're likely to be fairly disappointed with the dry theme set

00:08to continue.

00:09I wanted to start by showing you this satellite image though, taken earlier on Sunday.

00:13Have you noticed that the sky has been fairly hazy at times over the last few days, the

00:17sun and the moon having a slightly different colour to it?

00:21Well, part of that reason is due to some Saharan dust and smoke that's been in the atmosphere

00:25across the UK.

00:26We've had some very severe fires across parts of Portugal and Spain in recent days and this

00:31layer here is actually smoke that's been drifting northwards across France and into parts of

00:36the UK.

00:37The white here out towards the west is actually clouds.

00:40So we are likely to see somewhat hazier skies at times over the next few days and any rain

00:45that does fall could even bring some of that smoke and particles down to the surface so

00:49the cars might turn a bit dusty for example in the next few days if you do see any rain.

00:55But it is set to stay dry and high pressure is going to dominate through much of the week

00:59ahead.

01:00Maybe the odd spot or two of rain in a few showers courtesy of these weather fronts across

01:03the far south and south-west on Monday and Tuesday.

01:06Otherwise though high pressure is set to bring a dry week for all of us.

01:10But back to Sunday evening then and it's a sunny and warm end to the day for many of us but

01:15out towards the east we have got more in the way of cloud and as we go through Sunday

01:19evening and into the early hours of Monday that cloud is going to spread its way gradually

01:23westwards across the UK perhaps even bring the odd spitting spot of drizzle at times in

01:29place mainly over the high ground.

01:31But that cloud will act like a blanket so temperatures aren't going to be falling particularly

01:34low tonight.

01:35Most towns and cities for example staying at around 14 to 16 degrees Celsius so a milder

01:40night to come compared to last night.

01:43The breeze will ease across the south-west of England as well but here we could just see

01:47one or two showers later in the night and certainly through the daytime on Monday there's the

01:51potential for the odd heavier shower for Cornwall and even the odd rumble of thunder

01:55as well.

01:56Otherwise it will be a dry day.

01:57That cloud generally tending to slowly break up as we go through the course of the morning

02:02into the afternoon but I fancy across parts of the Midlands and more especially north-eastern

02:06parts of England and around the coasts of eastern and northern Scotland it could stay

02:10grey for most of the day and if that is the case then temperatures will be suppressed

02:14and it will feel quite cool particularly on North Sea coast just 17 degrees for example

02:19in Newcastle so feeling fairly chilly here.

02:22Otherwise though with the best of the sunshine temperatures reaching the mid-20s in some places

02:26and certainly feeling very warm indeed where you do see that sunshine.

02:30Still a few showers around through the afternoon into the evening for south-west England and

02:35maybe south-west Wales as well but generally dry for most places through Monday night and

02:39into Tuesday that cloud on North Sea coast will once again spread its way slowly south-westwards

02:45into more central and some western parts of the UK by the morning on Tuesday so once again

02:50it's not going to be a particularly chilly night temperatures in most towns and cities

02:54at least staying up in the teens Celsius.

02:57But it does mean that Tuesday will once again begin on a fairly cloudy note.

03:02Some breaks in the clouds so some sunshine for many western areas for example Northern Ireland,

03:06parts of Wales in particular but once again we'll see that cloud but more persistent out towards

03:12the east there's still the chance of a few spits and spots of drizzle at times more especially

03:16across north-eastern parts of Scotland where we could see some slightly more persistent rain

03:21for a time and there'll still once again be a chance of some showers across south-west England

03:25and maybe the extreme south of Wales as well potentially even the odd heavier bursts with the odd rumble

03:30of thunder.

03:32The highest temperatures on Tuesday a bit more displaced towards the south where skies brighten

03:36through the afternoon so the mid-twenties once again should feel pleasantly warm indeed

03:40but overall quite a bit cooler compared to over the weekend elsewhere.

03:45Temperatures down quite a notch across parts of Scotland just 17 to 20 degrees and if you

03:50are on some of those North Sea coasts it will feel fairly chilly with highs just 17 or 18 degrees

03:55Celsius.

03:57So if you're interested to know just how long this dry spur is going to last and whether there's

04:00change on the way for the bank holiday weekend then do make sure you're following us on our

04:04social media channels but that's everything from me and I'll see you again very soon.
