Transcript
00:00Hello, a very good morning to you.
00:02Big contrast once again across the United Kingdom.
00:05It's a mild but gloomy and damp start to the day for parts of northern Western Scotland
00:10and Northern Ireland.
00:11Outbreaks of rain on and off.
00:12Further south and east, lighter winds and clearer skies overnight have allowed the formation
00:16of a few mist and fog patches, particularly the south of England.
00:20They clear by mid-morning and then bright spells into the afternoon, although there will be
00:24some build-up of cloud, giving the odd spot of rain for Wales and northwest England.
00:29Otherwise it's mostly fine for England and Wales.
00:31I think for Scotland and Northern Ireland it's a different story.
00:35Cloud, breeze and outbreaks of rain continuing on and off, easing off for some time compared
00:40with the morning, but there will be more wet weather later.
00:42The one exception there, the northeast and east of Scotland, where we see some broken
00:47cloud and actually relatively mild conditions because of the fern effect where the wind travels
00:53over higher ground to the south and west and warms up.
00:56So 18 celsius, 19 celsius possible in some spots in the east of Scotland, 20 celsius towards
01:02the south east.
01:03Feeling pleasant enough.
01:04Not feeling so pleasant as we end the day across Northern Ireland and Western Scotland
01:08where the rain turns heavier and more persistent.
01:11It then spreads widely across Scotland overnight.
01:16Some of it spills into the north of England as well as north Wales.
01:20But for the rest of England and Wales, clear spells continue and once again that will allow
01:24temperatures to fall into the mid-single figures in places, some mist and fog by dawn.
01:30That mist and fog tending to stick around for the first few hours of the day.
01:34Then it clears and it's again a bright day for the southern half of the UK.
01:39This spells the sunshine although there will be some patchy cloud here and there.
01:44Scotland and Northern Ireland though, that wet spell continues, perhaps easing off a little
01:49into the afternoon across Northern Ireland, parts of Western Scotland.
01:52But there will be more wet weather later and it's going to be increasingly wet for some
01:58parts of Western Scotland, especially with Western and Southwest Scotland seeing these trailing
02:04weather fronts just linger across the region, a southwesterly breeze, moisture laden winds
02:12bringing that wet weather and dumping an awful lot of rain across West and Southwest Scotland
02:17through Wednesday and into Thursday as well as Friday.
02:21So, yellow warning in force for Western Scotland and you can find further details on that online.
02:28But for full details on the weather for the week ahead, there's a video of the week ahead
02:33forecast by Alex Deacon on our YouTube channel.
