00:00Good afternoon. Well, if you're a fan of the sunshine, I hope you're enjoying it out there today.

00:05But if it's rainfall you're after, then good news as there's some to come as we go through this week.

00:10Now, having a look at the bigger picture, this is the latest satellite and you can see the swirl of cloud

00:15that's associated with an area of low pressure towards the northwest of the UK.

00:20But if we have a closer look at the UK at the moment, we're actually situated underneath an area of high pressure,

00:25bringing fine and settled weather throughout today. There is some high cloud around,

00:31but overall throughout much of this afternoon, it's going to be blue skies out there.

00:36Now, the exception being across Shetland, we'll hold on to some low cloud here,

00:40perhaps even thick enough for some patchy drizzle. And then later across Northern Ireland,

00:44we have this band of rain, a cold front, bring some heavier spells of rain to end the day here.

00:50But otherwise, we have southerly winds and that's drawing up some warmer air,

00:54but also with more in the way of sunshine, temperatures are going to be rising nicely.

00:58It's going to be feeling very warm out there. Temperatures up to 29 degrees across parts of Wales

01:04and the Midlands, but even across Scotland, coming up at around 25 degrees.

01:09So a much brighter picture here compared to recent days.

01:13So as we go through Monday evening, then it's an unsettled end to the day across Northern Ireland,

01:19but for the vast majority across England and Wales, it's a fine end to bank holiday Monday.

01:24But this rain will be arriving overnight across much of Scotland into Northern England,

01:29into Wales and the southwest of England, where it could turn heavy at times.

01:34Otherwise, staying dry for the longest across the far southeast.

01:38And temperatures actually holding up overnight at around 16 or 17 degrees.

01:43So more of an unsettled start to Tuesday morning with this cloud and rain moving its way eastwards.

01:50It generally starts fragmenting. You may see a few spots of rain across the southeast,

01:55but once that clears through, actually still holding on to some fine and dry weather across much of East Anglia

02:00and the southeast of England. Behind that, it is a case of sunny spells and scattered showers,

02:07most frequent across Northern Ireland and Scotland. The odd heavy one cannot be ruled out,

02:12but a lot of places actually still staying largely dry.

02:15However, across the west, that's where temperatures will be falling closer to average,

02:19so 20, 21 degrees. But we still hold on to some warmth towards the southeast.

02:24And in that sunshine, we could see highs up to 26 degrees.

02:29So as we go through Tuesday evening, then we hold on to those showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland,

02:35but across the far south and northeast of England, generally fine and dry,

02:41before another system starts approaching from the west into Wednesday.
