00:00Hello there, a very good afternoon to you. If you are stepping outside this afternoon,

00:05do be prepared to have that raincoat on hand. We've already started to see the wet weather

00:10arriving from the southwest first thing this morning. It's turned a little lighter and patchier

00:14for some areas of England and Wales, but you can see the brighter colours here indicating some

00:17heavier outbreaks are beginning to arrive. And those could be particularly persistent

00:21across Northern Ireland this afternoon, where we do have a rain warning in force. Some minor

00:25disruption, quite tricky travelling conditions are possible. Those heavier outbreaks generally

00:30moving towards parts of central southern Scotland later on today as well, and it will feel quite

00:35cool, if not locally chilly, underneath the most persistent cloud and rain here. Behind that though,

00:40where things turn drier this afternoon, the reefs are starting to filter in some slightly milder

00:45conditions, so highs of 13, 14 degrees Celsius possible further south, but it is still going

00:50to be quite a breezy day, particularly across areas of England and Wales, so that will temper the feel

00:54the things a touch. Our rain will then continue its way northeastwards this evening, eventually

01:00spreading over towards the Northern Isles, Orkney and Shetland. Some clearer intervals emerging

01:05for a time behind that, but we've got another area of showers that will very quickly push in from

01:10the west overnight. These could be quite heavy and squally, maybe even bring some hail and thunder

01:14in the mixture as well. Amongst all of this, it's not going to be too chilly of a night, perhaps some

01:20of us even holding up in double-digit figures, but for parts of northeastern Scotland where we have

01:25clearer skies overnight, we may just drop down a little bit closer towards that freezing mark

01:30in some very sheltered rural valleys. There could be still a few rumbles of thunder on these showers

01:36as we head into the first part of Monday morning, so watch out for those when you're traveling to work,

01:40but again, they will tend to peter their way out, and we'll see some drier, brighter intervals

01:45developing across several areas. The cloud, though, tending to build across central southern England

01:50into the afternoon, so any of that sunshine turning hazier and generally skies a lot greyer

01:55towards the end of the day. Temperatures, again, roughly above average for the time of year,

02:00between 9 and 14 degrees Celsius, but again, we still hold on to a reasonable breeze across many areas.

02:08Whilst this Monday itself is not too bad overall, we are going to see some much wetter and windier

02:14conditions arriving from the south as we head into the overnight period. Further rain warnings

02:18coming into force for southwest England and Wales as this next area of low pressure begins to arrive.

02:22Some quite heavy outbreaks possible, and you'll notice the tight squeeze on those isobars as that

02:27low pressure begins to push its way towards northwestern Scotland. We could well see gales,

02:32locally severe gales, through the Irish Sea and around other areas across western and northern

02:37districts of the UK. So some further disruption is very well possible, and it's worth staying up to date

02:42with the forecast on the details as we do head into Tuesday. Despite all of that, you'll notice

02:48those temperatures for many of us are quite exceptionally mild for the time of year, 15,

02:52maybe even 16 degrees Celsius. As I said, do stay up to date with the forecast for Tuesday,

02:58and we'll have plenty more updates across our social media channels as well here on YouTube

03:02a little later on, and I'll see you then. Bye-bye.
