00:00 Hello there, good afternoon. We've seen a bright start to the week for many areas of
00:04 the UK and we'll see some more of that sunshine through the rest of this afternoon. However,
00:08 there is some wet weather around. The rain will just be clearing the far south east of
00:12 Kent over the next few hours. We could see the odd light shower across central areas
00:17 of England, but I think most areas will stay dry and there will be some fairly long-lived
00:22 sunshine. The best of the sunshine is going to be across parts of Northern Ireland, Western
00:26 Scotland as well as parts of Western Wales and the south coast of Devon and Cornwall.
00:30 That's where we're more sheltered from this north easterly breeze. So in that sunshine
00:34 it will be feeling fairly pleasant in the west. However, in the east, exposed to that
00:38 breeze, it's going to be feeling much colder than the temperatures will suggest. So these
00:42 are the feels like temperatures, so it'll be feeling much closer to two or three degrees
00:47 across that east coast and we will see some gusty winds still continuing through the English
00:52 Channel through the rest of the afternoon. The winds will ease through this evening and
00:56 that will allow a frosty night tonight for many areas, particularly across parts of Scotland
01:00 through the first part of the evening and then that frost will become a greater risk
01:05 across parts of Wales and into southern areas of England too. We'll also see some mist and
01:09 fog developing across the far south east, so it could be a bit of a murky start for
01:14 these areas tomorrow morning. Across the north and west, it will still feel quite cold tomorrow
01:19 morning but the frost will be limited because we'll see some wet weather arriving. This
01:24 band of quite blustery rain will push eastwards through the day on Tuesday, so quite an unpleasant
01:30 driving spell across the far north west of Scotland first thing tomorrow and that wet
01:35 weather will push into southern areas of Scotland, northern England and into western areas of
01:39 Wales by lunchtime or early afternoon. Behind it though, it should brighten up to end the
01:43 day across Northern Ireland and much of Scotland but we will see some quite blustery showers
01:47 pushing in from the north and west. And ahead of this band of rain across the south and
01:51 east should stay dry through much of the day but it will be a much cloudier day than today
01:56 and because we could get off to quite a murky start, it will probably feel quite cold through
02:00 much of the day with highs of around 6 or 7 degrees. That band of rain pushes south
02:06 eastwards through Tuesday night and behind it we see some fine weather for the start
02:10 of Wednesday before some rain arrives into the north west on Wednesday but that will
02:14 bring some milder air to end the week. See you later.
