00:00A very wet Monday for some parts of the UK. We do have a Met Office amber warning in place
00:06for the heavy rain. It is expected to cause further flooding issues as we go through the
00:11day. The bigger picture from space shows this swirl of cloud. It's kind of just anchored
00:17now across the UK. And where this heavier rain is really focused, it's just kind of
00:21pivoting round. So we could see a further 80mm of rain through the day today, maybe
00:26over 100mm in some locations. There's also a broader yellow warning area. Thunder and
00:32lightning could also be a factor, particularly across parts of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
00:37It's not raining everywhere. Large chunks of West Wales dry, fine and sunny. Some brighter
00:41skies across East Anglia and the south-east. And by and large, a fine day for Scotland
00:46and Northern Ireland. Dry here, fairly cloudy, but some sunny spells in the west. Some rain
00:50coming into the far north. But the heavier rain really focused across parts of England
00:56in particular. That's where we have the warnings in place. Temperature-wise, well, really struggling.
01:00We've got that persistent and heavy rain at mid-teens. With a bit of brightness, we could
01:03get into the high-teens across western Scotland. South-east may even touch 20°C. But let's
01:09focus in on the warnings. A broad yellow warning all the way up to Middlesbrough there, covering
01:16much of southern England as well. And then in this amber warning area, focusing in on
01:21Oxfordshire, but extending up beyond Milton Keynes down towards the Bath and Bristol area
01:26too. That's the amber warning area where we are expecting, say, 80mm of rain. More than
01:33that in some locations. We've already had over 100mm in some spots. That's likely to
01:38cause further flooding, further transport delays, a lot of spray and surface water on
01:42the roads and, of course, large puddles, which you shouldn't drive through flooded areas
01:48at all. And more information on that and how you can be prepared or what to do in a
01:53flood on our Met Office weather-ready pages. Also, another area to check the Environment
01:59Agency. They have the latest on the flood warnings. As we go through this evening and
02:04overnight, that rain will slowly start to ease. Still very heavy rain, though, around
02:08for much of the evening. Russia over parts of the Midlands, working down towards the
02:13southeast, steadily fading through the evening. And many places will become much drier for
02:19tomorrow. One exception to that will be northern Scotland, where this rain band will continue
02:22to track its way southwards. It'll be a fairly mild night with a lot of cloud temperatures
02:27holding up in double figures. On to Tuesday and overall, a much, much drier day. Still
02:31pretty soggy to start with over East Anglia and parts of Kent, but that rain should fizzle
02:35out and it will be a wet day across northeast Scotland, particularly along the Murray Firth
02:40with a northerly wind bringing a chill, but much, much drier in these central parts. Fairly
02:45cloudy, but we should see some sunny spells coming through. A few showers likely to develop
02:49over northern England and southern Scotland into the afternoon. Temperatures as a result
02:54of it being a little brighter, maybe a little higher, but still on the cool side, mostly
03:00in the mid-teens and struggling a bit across northern Scotland, 10 or 11 Celsius likely
03:07As we go through Tuesday evening, we'll continue with a few showers across the north, but generally
03:11much drier conditions across the south. If I just step out the way, however, things are
03:15brewing out in the Atlantic and we are expecting further spells of wet and windy weather to
03:19come as we go through the rest of this week. For more on that, check out our full week
03:24ahead video that'll be on YouTube. Aidan's recording that. It'll be up by Monday afternoon.
