00:00Laura Tobin I also couldn't believe that this was a real story so apparently you
00:05can just send a text message and then you could just ask for it to put
00:08daylight and it will be kind of put across an area so it would be you know
00:12a focused beam of light but there's so many problems first of all just for
00:16Arcadian rhythm for us we need day and night to be exactly as the planet and
00:21the Sun intended it to be and many many astronomers are really worried about the
00:25impact it will have on the night sky the ability to see the stars and the moon so
00:29yeah there's lots of problems here the good news is we are getting more
00:33sunshine naturally the real natural sunshine enjoyed the equilux yesterday
00:38good yeah it felt like there was a lot of light and from now on there is more and
00:42more of it and today is set to be the warmest day of the year so far and it
00:46stays beautiful fine and sunny so let me tell you how warm it is set to be so top
00:51temperatures for today could be as high as 21 degrees Celsius we've had around
00:56about 19 degrees so far this year so yes 21 will make it the warmest day of the
01:00year so far it is worth pointing out with the clear skies by day giving the
01:04sunshine overnight those temperatures will plummet to just one degree so a
01:09chilly cold frosty night to come and this is called a diurnal range it's this time
01:13of year when we have a big daytime and nighttime temperature difference with the
01:17obviously dark nights and the sunny days because we have this warm air coming up
01:21from the south south bringing our temperatures way above average 10 or 12 degrees above average
01:26and high pressure blocks the weather front so it is dry sunny and warm and we keep those
01:32temperatures way above average for the rest of the week but today is the peak in our temperatures
01:37thanks to the clear skies though overnight it's like taking away a blanket it gets a little
01:41chilly first thing this morning it's allowed some mist and fog to form but that soon
01:45clears and plenty of sunshine just a little bit of cloud across the north and west so we have the
01:50legacy of a weather front that arrived yesterday across southern Scotland parts of Northern Ireland
01:56cloudier skies for this zone here perhaps your spot of light rain but to the north of it and to
02:01the south of it there'll be plenty of sunshine and temperatures are above average for everybody
02:05now temperature wise we're looking at high teens for towns and cities the temperatures that are
02:09set to be highest today are through northwest England and western areas of Wales this is where we
02:14could get our 20 to 21 degrees but as I mentioned this evening and overnight it is clear it is
02:19cold
02:19a frost from the Midlands northwards is possible but the clear sky set us up for a beautiful sunny
02:25start yet again tomorrow still some of that nuisance cloud hanging around for southern Scotland and
02:30northern England but these spring-like temperatures staying with us not just for tomorrow for the rest
02:35of the week fine and dry with plenty of real sunshine
02:54you
03:59Thank you, Carol.
04:01Good morning, Sarah and Roger. Good morning to you, too.
04:04This morning, there's a mist and fog to watch out for if you're heading out early.
04:08We've got poor visibility in Devon.
04:10We've also got some of the Welsh marches, some patchy fog in both Surrey and Berkshire.
04:15That will lift and then it's going to be dry for most of us with spells of warm sunshine.
04:20We've got this ridge of high pressure building in, but we also have this weak weather front.
04:24It's moved southwards through the course of the night and it's going to retreat a little bit further northwards through
04:30today.
04:30And it is bringing more cloud across southern Scotland, parts of northern England and also parts of northern Ireland with
04:36the odd spot of rain.
04:37Further south, when the mist and fog lifts, a lot of sunshine, a few showers across the far north of
04:43Scotland.
04:44The gusty winds in Shetland tending to ease.
04:46Now, temperatures today where we've got the cloud will be down a little bit on yesterday.
04:50We're looking at 9 to 13, but widely across England and Wales, 16 to about 18 or 19.
04:56We could see a 20 somewhere, for example, across parts of north-west Wales.
05:01That will make it the warmest day of this year so far.
05:04In fact, if we get anything above 19.2, it will be the warmest day of this year so far.
05:08Now, through this evening and overnight, we still have the dregs of this weather front, producing some cloud and also
05:14the odd spot of rain.
05:15Some mist and fog patches forming, but a lot of clear skies.
05:18And it's going to be a chillier night tonight than it was last night.
05:23Tomorrow, then, we start off with a cloud across the northern swath of the country, but it tends to break
05:28away from the west when either side of it, once again, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine
05:34around.
05:34And if anything, temperatures just a little bit lower than today.
05:38Sarah and Roger.
05:40Carol, thank you very much.
05:41We'll speak to you again in a little while.
