00:00Hello. There's a lot of clouds across the country today and a fair few showers to come
00:06as well, all thanks to an area of low pressure. You can see the swirl here quite nicely on
00:11the satellite picture. There's also a large mass of cloud out to the west. That's a little
00:16wiggling weather front that will bring many of us a damp day tomorrow. In between, there's
00:21something a little bit drier, but there's still already quite a lot of cloud over England
00:26and Wales. We've seen some sunshine earlier over parts of the east, but that is going
00:30to disappear as the cloud steadily spills in. Lots of showers for Scotland, but actually
00:34the west coast should turn a little drier for a very wet morning. The showers may be
00:39easing a little for Northern Ireland and for Wales and southwest England too, so some brighter
00:43spells developing, particularly over the Midlands. So there will be some sunshine here and there,
00:48but as I said, quite a bit of cloud. We'll see a fair few showers over Northern England
00:52and later in the day, we'll start to see that next weather system bringing some drizzly
00:56conditions to the far southwest. Quite breezy across much of the UK with some lively gusts
01:01at times over northwest Scotland, making sure those showers move through, but also bringing
01:06a cooler feel. Higher temperatures across the east with some sunshine, low 20s just
01:10about possible. Now, as we go through this evening and overnight, we'll start to see
01:14that cloud we saw earlier down to the southwest just thickening up and bringing a lot of mist
01:19and murky weather across Wales and southwest England by the time we get to dawn. Much of
01:25central and eastern England staying dry with clear spells. Same goes for eastern parts
01:30of Scotland. Temperatures will drop down here maybe to 11, 12 degrees, perhaps a touch lower
01:36in some rural spots, but most towns and cities staying in the teens and the warmer air coming
01:41into the southwest with that cloud and the drizzle. Quite a dank, murky old morning here
01:47and that rain and drizzle will continue to chug its way across Wales into parts of Northern
01:52Ireland, southwest Scotland as well. A bright start in the eastern England and across much
01:56of Scotland. Actually, on Thursday, we'll see some sunny spells early doors, but there
02:00comes the rain spreading up through the central belt as we go into the afternoon. It could
02:05start to pep up as it crosses northern England too. So, for many, it will turn damp during
02:10the day. Quite a warm and humid feel as well. Something a little drier over eastern England
02:16and perhaps come the afternoon for northern Ireland too. Temperatures will again get into
02:21the low 20s for many, but as I said, feeling quite warm and quite humid. A sultry feeling
02:27day with a bit of a breeze, but still that quite claggy feel with the moisture continuing
02:33to drift northwards. We'll see further outbreaks of rain spreading north across Scotland during
02:37Thursday evening. Further rain then also coming back into Northern Ireland. So, it's a bit
02:42of a messy weather situation at the moment. This little weather feature we saw earlier,
02:46that will bring the warmth and the humidity during Thursday and Thursday night. Then this
02:50front clears it away, turns fresher for Friday, but there's a couple of pulses of quite warm
02:57air that are just likely to move back up towards the UK. In particular, this one could bring
03:02some hot weather as we head into the second half of the weekend. For more on that, make
03:08sure you stay up to date. There's more details in the deep dive that's on our YouTube channel.
03:13There'll be more on the 10-day trend as well. That'll be available on Wednesday afternoon.
