00:00If you're planning to head out today, you may want to go sooner rather than later because although it's a fine start for many of us, we do have some heavy rain and some strong winds pushing in as we go through the day due to a fairly deep area of low pressure that's currently waiting just to the west of us.
00:16It's the driving force for a frontal system that's going to march its way in.
00:20That being said, for the time being, there's still quite a bit of dry, fine, sunny weather around just a few showers towards western coastal parts, but then as we go through the morning into the afternoon, the clouds going to build, the winds will pick up as that rain sweeps its way through.
00:35Now, the rain could be quite heavy. We're talking 30, 40 millimetres in some places, particularly over higher ground towards the west, and there will be those strong winds could be touching gales in some exposed spots.
00:46But actually, across some eastern, northeastern areas, clinging on to the largely dry, fine weather well through the afternoon, and it's here across East Anglia, for example, where we're going to get the highest temperatures.
00:58Could be peaking around 23 or 24 Celsius, but elsewhere a few degrees fresher than this and obviously feeling pretty unpleasant where you have that cloud, that rain, and those strong blustery winds.
01:08That system continues its way east-northeastwards as we go later on in the day, eventually reaching Shetland overnight, but it will take a lot longer to arrive there than elsewhere across the country.
01:20Otherwise, most places seeing the rain clearing away, and so it is going to be a largely dry night with some clear skies, albeit with a few showers continuing across some western parts, and here we will have some blustery winds still.
01:32And because of the generally blustery feel to things, temperatures not dropping a huge amount, yes, some towns or cities, the shelter glens of Scotland, for example, likely to drop into single figures, but generally many areas holding up in double digits.
01:45Then tomorrow, any lingering rain from that band of rain that comes through today, that's eventually going to clear away from Shetland.
01:52Otherwise, then, it's a showery day for many, especially towards the west.
01:56Those showers could be quite heavy, packing a bit of a punch.
01:58They could be thundery too, even with some hail and lightning mixed in, but they are going to be a bit hit and miss, and not everywhere will necessarily see them.
02:06And towards the east, a few more showers developing as we go through the afternoon, but a greater chance of avoiding them, with some drier, sunnier weather likely instead.
02:16Some a bit more cloud, a bit more persistent rain, perhaps pushing into parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, but otherwise, a good deal of sunny breaks in between any showers, and whilst there will still be this blustery feel to things, temperatures should be near normal for the time of year, obviously feeling warmer in the shelter from the wind and in any sunshine.
02:34Worth factoring in, across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular, the winds could be a touch stronger through tomorrow than they are going to be during today.
02:43Then, looking ahead to the early part of next week, and the fairly unsettled autumnal weather will continue.
02:50It is the start of meteorological autumn, after all, this coming Monday.
02:54So, most of us will see showers each day, and some of them could be quite heavy.
02:58The risk of thunder continues, and actually, there's the potential for some more persistent wet weather to push in as we go through Tuesday and into Wednesday, especially across southern parts, another low-pressure system arriving.
03:09So, that's definitely one to watch.
03:11Temperatures, though, well, they look like they're going to be around average.
03:14So, still, if you get any dry, sunny weather in between the more wet spells, then it's not going to feel too bad.
03:20It is only early September, after all.
