00:00This morning we have named Storm Chandra, likely to cause significant problems across some parts of the UK,
00:06particularly southwest England and northern Ireland, through the night and during Tuesday.
00:11Here's the view from space, big swirl of cloud out in the Atlantic.
00:14That isn't Storm Chandra, but it is bringing some rain on this line of cloud that extends further south.
00:20And it's down here where Storm Chandra is developing and intensifying.
00:24But it's not really with us yet, not properly formed yet.
00:28It's going to really intensify as we go through Monday afternoon.
00:31But ahead of it, we do have that line of cloud providing some wet weather for northern Ireland.
00:36Yellow warning in place here and the rain setting in for Wales and southwest England, where the ground is very, very wet.
00:43And that is likely to cause some further issues as well.
00:46Ahead of that, a few snow showers coming into the hills and mountains of eastern Scotland, a brisk and cold wind here.
00:51Many places actually dry through the rest of today, but fairly cloudy.
00:54And it does feel quite cold out there. Temperatures in many areas, particularly across the east, below average at just five or six Celsius.
01:01Add on that breeze and it feels even colder.
01:03The wind's picking up further west, but also introducing some slightly milder air.
01:07Might see double digits in the southwest, but of course not feeling it because of that rain.
01:12And that rain is just going to pep up through today and overnight.
01:16And that's where we've got that amber warning in place across parts of southwest England, but yellow warnings in place as well.
01:22Further heavy rain.
01:24As I said, the ground is so, so wet that is likely to cause some further flooding.
01:28Another pulse of heavier rain, those brighter colours then moves up through the early hours.
01:32That's likely to make driving conditions really difficult.
01:35On some of the major routes for Tuesday morning's rush hour roads, like the M5, for example, parts of the M4 as well.
01:41That spreads into the Midlands, across Northern Ireland.
01:43And the winds also started to pick up in these western areas.
01:47With the wind and the rain and a lot of cloud, it does stay fairly mild.
01:51But it's a soggy day for many of us on Tuesday.
01:54As the rain hits the colder air, there will be snow over the hills of Northern England and Scotland.
01:59That could cause some problems as well.
02:01And then the winds really whip up across the east of Northern Ireland and into the southwest through the night and during the day on Tuesday.
02:07So yellow wind warning in place here.
02:09Of course, areas hit by Storm Goretti.
02:11So structures may be weakened along with trees.
02:14And that amber wind warning across the east of Northern Ireland.
02:17Gusts of 60, 60, 70, maybe 75 miles an hour likely to cause some issues here.
02:23But the strong winds in the southwest, as I said, also could cause some further disruption.
02:27It does turn a bit drier through the day.
02:30But some brighter spells, blustery showers will track in.
02:33Stays wet across much of Northern England, a good part of Scotland.
02:36Rain at low levels, but snow over the hills.
02:39So, as I said, a lot of warnings have been issued this morning.
02:43Temperature-wise, similar to today.
02:45Maybe a little higher in the south, but with those strong and gusty winds not feeling it.
02:49Temperatures generally further north below average at 5 or 6 degrees Celsius.
02:53And so that storm system continues to bring wet and windy weather into the course of Tuesday night and through much of Wednesday also.
