00:00Hello, well after what's been a largely dry but drab week, we have got outbreaks of rain

00:06to end the weekend. So we lose the area of high pressure, that shifts its way eastwards

00:11and it's going to be replaced by this area of low pressure through Sunday and into the new

00:16working week. So expect heavier spells of rain, also some blustery showers as we head into Monday

00:23and into Tuesday. But back to the rest of this evening, we hold them to the driest conditions

00:28across the east of the UK. But towards the west, outbreaks of rain already moving through. The

00:34heaviest and most persistent rain will come into Northern Ireland and here we do have a yellow

00:39rain warning in force so we could see some local disruption and also some flooding. That rain will

00:44also edge into southern parts of Scotland, northern England and the far southwest of England. But

00:50otherwise to the southeast holding on to a lot of cloud but largely dry here. With the winds though

00:57and the outbreaks of rain and cloud it is going to be a largely mild night. Temperatures holding up

01:02at around 9 to 13 degrees. So a brightish start across the far southeast but that will soon be replaced

01:11by outbreaks of rain as we head into the afternoon. So this band of heavy rain will continue to move its

01:17way north and eastwards. So for all of us to end Sunday, it's a pretty grotty and unsettled picture

01:23out there with strengthening winds too. However, across the far southwest of Devon and Cornwall and into

01:30Northern Ireland, it should turn a little bit brighter as we end the day with some showers too.

01:36But otherwise the winds will be picking up as well. We could see coastal gales in places but also temperatures

01:42around 15 or 16 degrees. But the humidity might just be that little bit higher. So as we go through

01:49Sunday evening and into Monday, this band of rain continues to move its way north and eastwards.

01:55And then behind that again some strong winds but also followed in by some blustery showers to start

02:02Monday morning. So still a rather mild start to the day. Temperatures around 8 to 12 degrees to start

02:09Monday. So that band of rain will continue to move its way across Orkney and Shetland but otherwise

02:16this area of low pressure will rattle through some showers. Heaviest with the most chance of thunder

02:22and lightning across much of Wales and the southern part of England. But otherwise some drier spells

02:28across Scotland but always the strongest winds focused along that southern coast. Otherwise temperatures

02:35are still going to be rather around average but probably feeling unpleasant when you catch one of

02:40those heavy downpours where we'll see some very gusty winds. So an unsettled picture to start the new

02:47working week. But make sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss any updates on that. And I'll see you soon. Bye bye.
