00:00Hello. A cooler, fresher feel for many places overnight, but not for all. It's still going to be warm, where
00:08we've had the higher temperatures in the southeast through the night time, but with high pressure and clear skies for
00:15many, and with lower dew points having crossed the country from the northwest earlier in the week, where we're going
00:21to see a lot of dry and clear weather overnight, but not so warm, not as warm as it's going
00:28to be during the next few days.
00:30Now, we do have a weak weather front, bringing a slither of cloud into parts of Scotland, and Northern Ireland
00:35initially, also some light and patchy rain for the west of Scotland, but for most of the UK it's a
00:40dry night, clear spells, and a big difference in temperatures across the UK.
00:46Sixteens, seventeens towards the south and southeast, but anywhere from mid Wales up to northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, more
00:53like 10 or 11 Celsius, and in some places into the single figures.
00:57So, yeah, a fresh, cool night for many, but not for all, a warm night to come in the south
01:03and southeast.
01:04Nevertheless, it's a dry and bright day for the vast majority.
01:08We start the day with some of that thicker cloud in the north of Scotland, patchy light rain moving north,
01:14becoming more confined to Shetland and Orkney, Lewis and Harris by the afternoon.
01:18Widely bright and dry for Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales seeing cloud-free skies once again, and temperatures rising
01:25as a result.
01:26Now, we've got a bit of an easterly breeze for the east coast of England, so that's not where the
01:30highest temperatures will be.
01:31More likely, Western England, Wales, 28, 29 Celsius, could see a 30 Celsius, somewhere like North Wales.
01:39Scotland, Northern Ireland, a warmer day compared with Monday, low 20s most likely, high teens in the north, where we've
01:46got that cloudier start of the day with some outbreaks of rain.
01:49Those outbreaks of rain move away for a time overnight, but another system comes into Northern Ireland, thickening up the
01:56cloud around midnight,
01:57showery rain arriving, that pushes into Western Scotland by the end of the night.
02:01A freshening breeze, but this breeze is coming from the south, and temperatures are rising.
02:06A much warmer night to come, Tuesday night into Wednesday.
02:09Widely mid-teens in some places, high teens are possible, so uncomfortable for sleeping.
02:16And we start off Wednesday with temperatures rising quickly through the morning across England and Wales.
02:20A much hotter day to come compared with Tuesday.
02:22Scotland and Northern Ireland also warmer, despite the fact that we've got some shower clouds around.
02:28Intermittent downpours expected for many parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, but especially towards the northwest.
02:33The old rumble of thunder, the old heavy downpour likely at times.
02:36They'll be moving through quickly because of the keen breeze.
02:39Further south, lighter winds and cloud-free skies once again across many parts of the south of the UK.
02:45Temperatures reaching the high 20s, low 30s widely.
02:49Could see a 33 or 34 somewhere through the Midlands and the southeast as the highest maximum temperature.
02:56Mid to high 20s for Northern England.
02:58Southern Scotland, 26 Celsius.
03:00Northern Ireland, 25 Celsius in the warmer spots.
03:04Low 20s in the north of Scotland, but here we've got those showers coming and going through the day.
03:08So, warmer for the whole of the UK, if not hot, not necessarily completely cloud-free skies as we head
03:16towards the viewing time of the partial solar eclipse, which happens around 7pm for many parts of the UK.
03:23Now, the unfortunate news is that it will stay cloudy for the north and northwest of Scotland.
03:28Thick cloud here, along with those showers.
03:30Could see some cloud gaps, hopefully, allowing some places to get a glimpse of that partial solar eclipse.
03:37East parts of Northern Ireland, southern and eastern Scotland, the cloud will thin from time to time.
03:42More widely clear skies further south.
03:45Now, Northern England, some patchy cloud here and there.
03:47Completely cloud-free skies, most likely South Wales, southern and southeastern England.
03:52So, the further south and east you are, the more likely you are that the skies will remain clear around
03:587pm on Wednesday if you are hoping to catch a glimpse of that partial solar eclipse.
04:03Don't forget to wear some of those official Eclipse viewing glasses to make sure you view it safely.
04:10Much more, as always, on our YouTube channel, but for now, that's all from me.
04:13Bye-bye.
