00:00Hello again. Tomorrow is looking like it will be quite bright, sunny at times, but also
00:05some showers to watch out for. Before then though, there is still a front making its
00:10way across the country. This has already brought a fair bit of rain to parts of northern UK
00:15and it is currently bringing some heavy rain to southern parts of Scotland, northwest England
00:20and western fringes of Wales. It's across the borders areas, parts of Dumfries Galloway
00:25that we're going to see some further impacts as we go through the end of the day with rainfall
00:29totals here likely to continue to build up. But that front does progress southeastwards
00:35as we go through this evening and overnight. So rain pushing into more parts of northern
00:39England across Wales, southwest England and into the Midlands as well. Ahead of this front
00:44in the southeast, it should stay dry with some clear skies, but we still have some warm
00:48humid air here, so temperatures not dropping a huge amount. But there is actually fresher
00:53air coming in behind this front and so for other places, particularly across parts of
00:58Scotland, Northern Ireland, turning a bit fresher, perhaps a bit cooler, a bit chillier
01:01maybe in some rural spots. There will be some rain then across parts of the Midlands, central
01:07southern England first thing tomorrow morning, even into Lincolnshire. And some of this could
01:10be heavy, could be some thunder mixed in as well. But that front does then push its way
01:14eastwards into parts of East Anglia, Kent, across London as well. But as it goes, it
01:20breaks up and it eases. So no heavy rain really reaching the far east of England. Behind it,
01:25some brighter, sunnier weather. Most of us will see some sunny spells at times through
01:29Tuesday. There will also be though quite a few showers, especially across Scotland and
01:33Northern Ireland. Here the showers are going to be fairly frequent, particularly towards
01:37the west. Meanwhile, across other parts of England and Wales, western areas, we may see
01:41some showers coming and going further east, a greater chance of staying dry once that
01:46front has pushed its way through. It is going to be a little bit fresher than it has been
01:51of late. I think in the far east, especially ahead of that front, still pretty warm temperatures
01:55in the mid-20s once more. But otherwise, we're looking at mid to high teens, low 20s generally.
02:01So not feeling too bad in any bright or sunny spells. More showers to come as we go through
02:06the end of the day, particularly across Scotland and Northern Ireland. But a few showers are
02:09possible elsewhere. Some then heavier showery rain feeding in across western parts of Scotland
02:15as we go through the night. Meanwhile, across England and Wales, apart from a few showers
02:19towards western coastal parts, I think it is going to be largely dry with some clear
02:24skies. And because of that fresher air that's coming behind that front for many of us, especially
02:29across England and Wales, tomorrow night is going to be a little bit more comfortable
02:33than it has been through some recent nights. A real fresher feel to things. You may need
02:37to get that duvet back out. As we go through Wednesday then, it is going to be a bit of
02:41a cool, showery day for many places. The showers will be piling in from the west-northwest.
02:47So it's western-northwestern parts where the showers will be most frequent. Initially
02:51we have that heavier, more persistent rain across Scotland. That does clear away and
02:54then it is just showers here. But like I say, plenty of showers around. Towards the east-southeast,
03:00you may stay dry. One or two showers perhaps. But perhaps a bit more cloud building as we
03:04go through the day. A little bit less sunshine compared to Tuesday. With that then, temperatures
03:09not going to be quite as high as they have been. I still think 23, 24, so near normal
03:14for the time of year. Perhaps a touch below in some places. Towards the north-west of
03:18the UK, generally temperatures are going to be a little bit lower than this. Mid to high
03:22teens, just about low 20s. If you do catch any sunshine, not feeling too bad at all.
03:27But there will be a bit of a breeze around and that will add to the relatively cool feel
03:31to things. As we go later on in the week, do watch out because there will be some rain
03:36arriving. Various systems coming in from the west will bring spells of rain. The rain generally
03:41heaviest towards north-western parts. But some rain will cross the UK and so most of
03:46us will see some rain at times as we go through Thursday into Friday. And there will be a
03:51bit of a breeze around as well. And so that will add to that generally cool feel. For
03:55more details about what we can expect through the week ahead, do check out a more in-depth
03:59video which is available on our YouTube channel with Alex Deakin. I'll see you again soon.
04:04Bye bye.
