00:00Hello there, good morning. Welcome to your latest forecast from the Met Office.
00:04Storm Dave has brought some disruptive weather over the past 12 hours or so.
00:10Strong and gusty winds, some heavy rain and also snow in places too.
00:15So there could be some tricky travelling conditions if you're up early this Easter Sunday.
00:20Dave will continue to clear over the coming hours and then we'll start to see high pressure building in from
00:26the south.
00:26It will leave a belustry chilly day today but that high pressure will continue to build over the coming days
00:32and in fact some very warm weather on the way for Tuesday and into Wednesday.
00:38We still have warnings in force this Easter Sunday morning as storm Dave slowly clears away.
00:44Gusts of 50, 60 miles an hour for a time but then staying windy as we move through the day
00:49today.
00:49Sunny spells and showers. Showers most frequent the further north you are.
00:53Some of the showers will be heavy at times, the risk of hail in there and still falling as snow
00:58over the higher ground
00:59with that brisk westerly wind for many of us.
01:02Showers starting to ease though as we move through the day across central and southern parts of England
01:07and temperatures here just reaching around average 12 to 13 Celsius as a max.
01:13Further north you go actually below average for the time of year, just 6 or 7 degrees across northern parts
01:18of Scotland.
01:19Add on the strength of that breezy westerly wind, it will feel rather chilly despite the sunny spells around.
01:27Into the evening time, further showers particularly across the north of the UK
01:31but as we head overnight that high pressure continues to build in.
01:35The wind should fall lighter, the showers should ease and we'll see lengthy clear skies developing
01:40and that will allow temperatures to drop away quite widely across the north of the UK.
01:44A frost developing, minus 3 or minus 4 in the countryside possible here.
01:49Patchy frost across central and southern parts of England and Wales.
01:52Just a little more cloud perhaps across parts of Northern Ireland, keeping the temperatures here just a little above freezing.
01:58So a chilly start to Easter Monday but plenty of sunshine.
02:01Though the sunshine might be hazy at times as a high cloud passes through from time to time
02:06and in fact the cloud may be just thick enough at times for one or two splashes of rain
02:10perhaps across western Scotland in particular Northern Ireland as well.
02:14But for many of us it will be a dry day.
02:17Plenty of spells of hazy sunshine and winds now coming in from the south
02:21so temperatures will start to rise as a result as well.
02:24For many of us reaching double figures, 13, 14, locally 15 degrees across southeast England.
02:29And Northern Scotland just about staying there in single figures around 8 or 9 degrees.
02:34And high pressure will continue to build over the next few days as well.
02:39So temperatures rising further in that sunshine.
02:42I think across the northwest of the UK always a little cloudier.
02:45The risk of some rain at times and increasing risk of that rain pushing a little further south
02:50and eastwards for Thursday.
02:52But Tuesday and Wednesday look at the temperatures reaching towards the low 20s.
02:5623, 24 possible across central southern parts of the UK Tuesday and into Wednesday
03:02but turning fresher and more unsettled for all of us as we get towards Thursday.
03:08So this storm should clear over the coming hours and it will remain quite blustery
03:14but high pressure then building to give a settled few days to come and temperatures rising as well.
03:19See you again soon.
