00:00Hi again. You may want an extra blanket on the bed tonight as it's going to be a rather chilly one and that's courtesy of largely clearing skies across most of the UK.
00:09There is still a little bit of cloud across the very far southeast of England through the next few hours, perhaps the odd light shower around as well, but generally a dry night to come across most of the UK.
00:17And with those clearing skies it is going to turn rather cold, particularly in the countryside where temperatures are expected to fall widely into single figures.
00:24And in some rural spots in the most prone locations where we could even see temperatures getting quite close to freezing.
00:30So a fairly widespread grass frost expected overnight tonight.
00:34Temperatures in the towns and cities holding a little bit higher, but nonetheless into single figures.
00:38And as we go towards the morning we all like to see quite a bit in the way of fog developing.
00:42So quite patchy in the west just here and there, but across the eastern parts of England, well it's here that we could see some more widespread fog perhaps to affect the Monday morning commute to work.
00:51So perhaps do leave yourself a little bit of extra time to get to work in the morning.
00:56But that fog will lift through the morning, lifting to low cloud and then dispersing.
00:59So plenty of sunshine for many parts of England and Wales, particularly in the morning.
01:03The cloud will bubble up and spread out as we go into the afternoon, but still some sunny intervals around for many of us nonetheless.
01:10Across the northwest of Scotland though, it will be a different story.
01:13And here it will already be quite a wet start to the day and through the day we'll see outbreaks of rain spreading their way gradually eastwards,
01:19but tending to become quite light and patchy.
01:22It will also turn quite breezy in the northwest, so wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour in the far northwest of Scotland.
01:28But generally those winds coming in from a southerly direction on Monday.
01:31So for most of us, temperatures are round or even slightly above average for the time of year.
01:36So highs of 17 to 19 degrees Celsius in the south, more like 14 or 15 in the north and northwest,
01:42and certainly feeling cooler in the west of Scotland where those winds are fairly brisk.
01:46It will stay quite breezy through Monday evening and Monday night across the far northwest of the UK.
01:53There will also be some further outbreaks of rain pushing in from the Atlantic,
01:56so parts of the northern line seeing some rain, but most of that rain across the north and the northwest of Scotland
02:01through the early hours of Tuesday morning.
02:03Otherwise, many parts of England and Wales staying dry, some fairly lengthy clear spells once again.
02:08I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a few isolated mist and fog patches once again by the time we get to Tuesday morning.
02:14Not quite as cold as it will be tonight, but nonetheless, temperatures in the countryside falling into mid-single figures
02:21and perhaps the odd patch of frost around as well.
02:25Now for Tuesday, it's again going to be a fairly bright picture for most of England and Wales.
02:29There will be some high-level cloud in the sky at times, so not blue skies for everyone, but still bright or sunny at times.
02:36It's generally quite a bit cloudy, though, across many parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland,
02:39and there will be some sporadic outbreaks of rain coming and going, perhaps wettest across the far southwest of Scotland,
02:46but generally the rain relatively light and intermittent elsewhere.
02:50Once again, with the winds coming in from the south, a fairly warm day for the time of year.
02:54Highs of up to 20 degrees Celsius in the southeast of England,
02:58and certainly a warmer day across Scotland and Northern Ireland compared to on Monday.
03:01Parts of northeast Scotland will be favoured for seeing temperatures into the high teens locally
03:05and the best of any hazy sunshine.
03:08Now as we go into the middle part of the week, we are going to see the jet stream strengthening out
03:12across the North Atlantic, so this ribbon of pink here indicating some very strong winds in the upper atmosphere,
03:18and it's that jet stream that will help to develop areas of low pressure as we go through the middle part of the week.
03:23So quite an unsettled flavour to the weather across the north of the UK.
03:26Outbreaks of rain at times, and also the isobars tightening together as well.
03:30So it will be rather windy for many parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland at times through the middle part of the week,
03:35and there will be a lot of rain to come.
03:37So this graphic here just shows that it's going to be western Scotland in particular,
03:41where we're seeing the highest rainfall totals through the middle part of the week.
03:45Potentially the wettest spots of western Scotland,
03:47because we could well see well over 100 millimetres of rain by the time we get to the end of Thursday.
03:52Quite a bit of rain also though for Northern Ireland and northwest England as well,
03:56particularly the Cumbrian Fells, but actually the rest of England and Wales,
03:59particularly in the southeast, well you notice on this graphic here,
04:02very little, if any, in the way of rain through the week ahead.

04:10That's everything from me though, I'll see you again very soon.
