00:00Good morning. It's turning cooler and more changeable through the week ahead for many of us.
00:04And we'll actually see some quite menacing skies, dark clouds like these one moment and some sunshine the next.
00:09Out there this morning there are some showers around, one or two heavier ones perhaps first thing in the southeast
00:13of England.
00:14A few drizzly outbreaks also for southwest England and across Wales, but these are quite quickly decaying.
00:19And for many parts of England and Wales, the northeast of Scotland as well, it will be a largely dry
00:23day.
00:23Probably the best of the sunshine this afternoon across Wales, central, southern and southwestern England
00:27where there will be some very warm conditions once again, with temperatures perhaps into the mid to high 20s for
00:33some of us.
00:34Further north though, a cooler feeling day. Plenty of sunshine actually for the northeast of Scotland, particularly Shetland and Orkney.
00:40But here, temperatures a little bit below par for the time of year, no better than 16 Celsius for example
00:44in Aberdeen.
00:45Western Scotland and Northern Ireland will turn increasingly wet through the course of this afternoon,
00:50perhaps the odd heavier burst later today and also some showery rain pushing into northwest England too.
00:55That rain will intensify and become more widespread as we go through the course of this evening.
00:59So notice these yellows and oranges indicating some heavy bursts of rain.
01:02So a pretty wet rush hour for Northern Ireland, the central belt of Scotland for example.
01:06The rain is splitting in two, so one band pushing its way northeast across Scotland
01:10and one rain band pushing its way southwards across England and Wales.
01:14Now a bit of uncertainty as to how active this band of rain pushing south across England and Wales will
01:18be through the early hours.
01:19So it will generally turn more showery and probably lighter as well.
01:23But nonetheless, some places will be quite lucky and see several millimetres of rain by the morning.
01:28For wherever you are tonight, it's going to be a pretty mild night.
01:31Temperatures are holding up in the teens Celsius for many of our towns and cities.
01:34No lower than 16 to 18 degrees, for example, in Cardiff and in London.
01:40Now it will be a quite wet start to the day on Tuesday for northeast Scotland,
01:43with the rain here only slowly migrating its way towards Orkney and Shetland.
01:47And there will also be a bit of uncertainty as to how quickly this band of rain pushes away from
01:51southern regions of England.
01:53It could just take into the afternoon perhaps to clear the south coast.
01:56It might well return later on in the afternoon perhaps to parts of southwest England.
02:01But for most of England and Wales, it will brighten up.
02:03Some spells of hazy sunshine by the afternoon.
02:05But for northwestern areas, a chance of a few showers,
02:08primarily for parts of northern Ireland or western Scotland.
02:11The westly wind here driving these in.
02:13The odd heavier one perhaps as well.
02:14And a fairly cool picture in the wind here.
02:17So highs 18 to 20 degrees for many.
02:19Slightly warmer perhaps than today for northeast England and eastern Scotland.
02:23Around 20 degrees there for Aberdeen and Newcastle.
02:26And still temperatures above average in the south.
02:2824 to 26, but not quite as warm as it will be this afternoon.
02:33So it's started to turn more changeable.
02:35And we'll all notice that really by Wednesday.
02:37A greater chance of some heavy showers and thunderstorms for many,
02:40particularly in the north.
02:41But by Thursday, some heavy downpours, potentially quite slow moving.
02:45So some longer spells of rain for some.
02:47Possibly some surface water impacts as well on the roads with those slow moving downpours.
02:52Turning cooler as well, with temperatures dropping down to,
02:54if anything, slightly below average for the time of year.
02:57Now, of course, you can always follow us on our social media channels for further updates.
03:01But that's everything from me.
03:02Have a good day.
03:02Have a good day.
