00:00Hello there, a very good morning to you. There is some wet and windy weather on the way later
00:05on today, but for the time being, it's a bright and breezy start to the day. A band of showers
00:10though is pushing its way eastwards, and there could be the odd heavier burst on this first
00:15thing in the morning. Generally though, tending to break up a touch into the afternoon, but
00:18certainly still some showers lingering across Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and central
00:22areas of England probably faring best in some of those brighter, sunnier spells, but outbreaks
00:27of rain still possible for central southern districts, and the cloud will be building
00:30here into the afternoon. Temperatures generally ranging between 9 and 14 degrees Celsius, but
00:36you'll probably still notice a breeze when you are out and about today. Tonight though,
00:41we are going to be turning our attention to an area of low pressure that's arriving from
00:44the Atlantic, and increasingly this is looking like it could bring some quite notable disruption
00:49at times with some very heavy pulses of rain and quite strong winds as those isobars really
00:54start to squeeze together. As a result, rain and wind warnings have been issued. At the time being,
01:01those rain warnings come into play across parts of southwest England and Wales on Monday evening,
01:05and then a second one for northern England during the early hours of Tuesday morning. Particularly
01:10those higher ground sites like Dartmoor, Banu Blagheniog, Eirri, and the Cumbrian Fells could see
01:1560 to 80 millimetres of rain falling, and with the saturated ground we already have at the moment,
01:22that could well cause some flooding and disruption at times. For the wind warnings, we've also got one
01:27across western Wales and southwest England that comes into play tonight, but our next one for
01:32northwest and England will be in force from Tuesday afternoon. Those gales, severe at times,
01:38will initially push their way through the Irish Sea and then eventually steer their way towards parts
01:43of northwest and Scotland later on into tomorrow. Some pretty large waves will be around these coastal regions,
01:50and again, disruption to ferry transport and other travel services is very likely. We'll play that through
01:56on the weather graphics for you from this evening onwards then. You can see where that rain really starts to spread
02:01its way in from the southwest. Those heavy pulses of rain really providing quite difficult travelling conditions
02:06for anyone that is going to be on the roads tonight and into the early hours of Tuesday morning. With it, though,
02:11there is always coming some notably mild air, and by the time we reach dawn on Tuesday morning, many of us will
02:17already be seeing temperatures of 12 to 13 degrees Celsius away from northeastern Scotland, where it will start off that
02:23little bit chillier. But the rain will be arriving here as we head throughout the day as well. Those heavier pulses
02:30continuing to push northwards, and the winds really picking up in strength as well. It will turn a little drier and brighter from the west into the
02:37the second half of the day. Perhaps some sunshine beginning to emerge for parts of Northern Ireland and the far southwest of
02:43England and Wales. With all of that, though, it is still going to be exceptionally mild for the time of the year. Highs potentially
02:50reaching 16 degrees Celsius in places, even a touch higher for some localised spots, and that is notably above where we'd normally expect to be for December.
02:59Do you remember, then, that second wind warning for northwestern Scotland, though, comes into play from 3pm on Tuesday. So even after that rain band has cleared, we're going to see those wind gusts pick up in strength even further, with potentially 70-mile-an-hour gusts affecting parts of the Outer Hebrides. So even if it's drier, do continue to take care into tomorrow evening and overnight, because some further disruption is very likely.
