00:00Hello, good morning. Well, it's a chilly start to the new week for many of us. There's even
00:04some fog around in places first thing this morning, but it won't take too long to clear
00:07and Monday is set to be a fine day for many. Yes, there'll be a little bit of high-level
00:11cloud in the south, so the sunshine a little bit hazier at times, but many parts of the
00:15UK will see a dry day with plenty amounts of sunshine. There will still be one or two
00:21blustery showers in the northwest of Scotland, but even here these will tend to fade away
00:24as we go into the afternoon. So in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm, certainly a much
00:29warmer day compared to yesterday with those much lighter winds in the north and the west.
00:34Highs are between 15 and 17 degrees here. In the south of the UK, well, we can still reach 20
00:38or 21
00:39degrees, but just notice there is a little bit of rain not too far away from the very far southeast
00:43of England, so it could be damp at times, for example, particularly in Kent and Sussex. As you
00:49go towards this evening, there's a bit of uncertainty in terms of details, but there's an increasing
00:52chance that we'll see that rain become a bit more active, so the rain might become a bit more
00:57wide spread across the southeast of England and central and southern England, with some
01:00showery outbreaks pushing into Wales in the southwest, perhaps by the end of tonight.
01:04Now, with the cloud cover and also a freshening breeze, it will actually be a much milder night
01:08in the south compared to last night. Temperatures holding up in double figures for many and perhaps
01:13not falling below 14 or 15 degrees in the towns and the cities. However, further north, where we hold
01:18on to clearer skies, particularly across northern England, central and eastern Scotland, well, here
01:23in the countryside, temperatures will certainly fall down into mid-single figures, and in the prone
01:27spots where we could even see, once again, a touch of grass frost. But the winds will be freshening as
01:33we go through the day on Tuesday, and it's all courtesy of the isobars squeezing together. So we've
01:37got this warm front moving northwards across the UK, a big area of low pressure out across the northeast
01:42Atlantic, squeezing those isobars together and bringing that much warmer air. So an unseasonally warm
01:48picture as we go through Tuesday and Wednesday, but also much windier. And this area of low pressure
01:53is one to keep a very close eye on. It's going to deepen as we go through the day on
01:57Tuesday and
01:58into Wednesday. These pink colours indicating gusts of 50 to perhaps 70 miles per hour over
02:03the ocean. But even around some western coast of the British Isles, we will see gales, possibly
02:07even severe gales, as we go into Wednesday. So something to give a very close eye on. There could also
02:13be
02:13some quite large waves around some of our coastlines. But back to Tuesday morning, and it's a fairly
02:18cloudy picture to begin the day in the south. Some showery outbreaks of rain, but a little bit
02:22of uncertainty, as I say. So don't take the graphics too literally, but there is still the chance of a
02:26few spots of rain here and there. The rain pushing into northern Ireland, perhaps southern parts of
02:31Scotland as we go towards the afternoon. To the north of that, though, it should be a fine day for
02:35many northern and western parts of Scotland. Some sunshine here, albeit increasingly gusty winds.
02:40And in the south and the southeast, where we see the skies brighten, particularly in southeast England
02:45and east England through the afternoon, look at these temperatures. 25 or 26 degrees. More like
02:49summer temperatures than late September. So feeling unseasonably warm, despite that brisk
02:55southeast wind, which will potentially touch gale force around the west as we go towards the afternoon
03:00and evening. So a much warmer picture for many places on Tuesday. But that's not the case for
03:06everyone. So the northeast of Scotland and northeast England, well, here temperatures may well be
03:10a degree or two below par for late September. But otherwise, these orange and red colours
03:15indicating that temperatures will be well above average for late September.
03:19So a much warmer, but also more unsettled picture as we go towards the middle of the week. Of course,
