00:00 Hi there, very mixed conditions across the UK for the rest of Tuesday, a stark contrast
00:04 for eastern parts compared with Monday's sunny and warm weather as this cold front moves
00:10 in. That's bringing out breaks of rain, a lot of cloud and much cooler conditions. Although
00:15 a little slice of warmth remains for the far north of Scotland and for the south west we've
00:21 got low pressure close by but we've also got brighter skies because the front has moved
00:25 through. So for Northern Ireland, Wales and the south west generally a day of sunny spells
00:30 and showers and those showers will be quite heavy at times where they occur, they'll be
00:33 accompanied by a gusty wind particularly towards the south west but in any sunnier spells not
00:39 feeling too unpleasant compared with Monday afternoon. Meanwhile here's the cloud and
00:44 rain associated with the weather front, central and western Scotland into the south of Scotland,
00:49 parts of northern and eastern England seeing outbreaks of rain on and off through the day,
00:53 a lot more cloud compared with Monday and as a result it's going to feel significantly
00:57 cooler with temperatures of 13-17 Celsius, a bit warmer towards the south west compared
01:03 with Monday with temperatures up to 18 or 19 degrees. But the warm spot there, northern
01:08 Scotland somewhere out of the wind will potentially reach 20-23 Celsius, Shetland and Orkney obviously
01:16 a bit cooler but still plenty of sunny skies here. Then as we go into the evening some
01:22 rain will reach the north of Scotland but otherwise a lot of the rain across northern
01:27 and eastern parts will tend to fizzle away for a few hours at least overnight before
01:31 another pulse of activity emerges from the continent. Towards the west we've got clear
01:36 spells and showers, most of the showers affecting Cornwall and parts of Devon otherwise turning
01:40 drier through the hours of darkness and with some clear spells and light winds for the
01:45 likes of Northern Ireland, south west Scotland it will be relatively fresh as we start off
01:49 Wednesday in some shelter spots, temperatures of 6-8 Celsius. Otherwise double figures under
01:54 any cloud cover and it's going to turn increasingly damp once again across eastern England through
02:00 into the northern part of England there and perhaps southern Scotland seeing some cloud
02:04 and a few spots of light rain, one or two showers for Northern Ireland as well. But
02:09 most of the showers will be across the far south west as well as southern Scotland, northern
02:16 and eastern England with plenty of dry and fine weather away from these areas and in
02:22 any sunshine with I think slightly lighter winds temperatures will be fairly respectable
02:28 for the time of year 20-22 Celsius. Northern Scotland potential for up to 24-25 Celsius
02:34 in some of the favoured spots. Now just to give you an idea of where the rain will be
02:39 distributed through Wednesday this is the rainfall totals from 6am to 6pm and it shows
02:45 that some areas will get rather a lot especially east Anglia, Lincolnshire through into Yorkshire
02:49 for example. Showery rain elsewhere, Northern Ireland for example, central southern Scotland
02:54 into the Midlands, speckled nature there as well as parts of the south west but mostly
02:59 northern parts of Devon and Cornwall and Somerset. Otherwise the white areas show where not much
03:04 rain is expected if any at all so actually some decent sunny spells and some warmth in
03:10 that sunshine as well later on Wednesday. There will be some low cloud though affecting
03:16 eastern and north eastern parts of England, south east Scotland at times that's going
03:21 to make it feel on the cool side along with that onshore breeze. So very mixed conditions
03:27 over the next few days but essentially for many it's a tale of sunny spells and showers
03:30 and we'll keep you updated right here at the Met Office. Bye bye.
