00:00Welcome to your national weather updates.
00:02There'll be far fewer leaves on the trees
00:05by the end of this week.
00:06Going to get pretty windy, especially
00:08around the middle of the week.
00:09Today, though, for most places, the winds are fairly light.
00:12There's a bit of a northwest-southeast split.
00:15A lot of cloud in the satellite image
00:16streaming in from the Atlantic, bringing outbreaks of rain
00:19this morning to Northern Ireland, pushing now
00:21across a good part of Scotland.
00:23Getting a bit drier in Northern Ireland,
00:24staying fairly glum this afternoon.
00:26Fringland and Wales bar the odd bit of drizzly rain
00:28here and there, mostly in the southwest.
00:31Most places dry and reasonably bright.
00:33Yes, quite a lot of cloud.
00:35But some places seeing a little bit of early October
00:38sunshine, which will lift the temperatures up
00:41into the high teens.
00:43So above average for the time of year 18,
00:4519 with light winds feeling pretty pleasant.
00:47But the winds are getting stronger
00:48as that weather system we saw in the satellite image
00:51brings further outbreaks of rain to parts of Western Scotland.
00:54The rain's starting to build up here as well.
00:56It may ease for a little bit through this evening.
00:58But further pulses of rain coming into Western Scotland
01:01overnight could cause a few issues,
01:03certainly a lot of spray and surface water on the roads.
01:06We have issued a yellow warning for that rainfall.
01:09The rain returns to Northern Ireland overnight as well,
01:11so a soggy start to Tuesday.
01:13Bit of drizzle here and there for England and Wales,
01:15but most of England and Wales will have a dry night.
01:18And pretty much everywhere, it will be a fairly mild night
01:20with that brisk breeze keeping the temperatures up
01:2212 or 13 below.
01:25On to the details for Tuesday.
01:27It's a bit of a messy one.
01:28We start with a heavy rain still in Western Scotland,
01:31but it should clear fairly quickly.
01:32Quite a wet rush out through the central belt.
01:35But even here, that rain is edging through and easing
01:38from Northern Ireland also.
01:39But it's going to be quite a damp day for Northwest England
01:42and a good part of Central and West Wales.
01:44Eventually, that rain creeping its way
01:46into the north coast of Devon and Cornwall
01:48and across the Midlands too.
01:50But brining up across Northern Scotland
01:52with some sunny spells, but staying blustery
01:54with a few showers across the Western Isles.
01:57Staying largely dry and bright across East Anglia
01:59and the southeast.
02:00And temperatures here could get up to 20 degrees
02:02Celsius in one or two spots before the cloud starts
02:05to spill in.
02:06Again, generally temperatures above average,
02:08but not feeling all that pleasant
02:10through the central areas with that rain coming
02:12in by the afternoon and the winds getting lively.
02:15And this kind of central swathe staying fairly damp
02:19as we head through Tuesday night and into Wednesday.
02:21So pretty wet for the Midlands.
02:23Western parts of England and much of Wales.
02:25And that is tied into this developing weather system.
02:29Pushes the rain back into Northern Ireland also.
02:31This is an area of low pressure that we need to watch.
02:34Moving in on Tuesday night and more particularly Wednesday.
02:37Set to move across parts of Northern Britain.
02:40The ice above squeezing together.
02:41It's going to get windy everywhere.
02:43Be a spell of heavy rain everywhere as well.
02:46But we do need to watch this because it's developing
02:48as it approaches the UK.
02:50Could cause a few problems.
02:51Most likely scenario is that it brings winds of 55
02:55to 65 miles an hour that could cause a few issues.
02:58But there is the potential for that load
03:00to be a little bit more intense.
03:02Remember, it's developing as it approaches the UK.
03:04That could bring a spell of winds a little bit higher,
03:07which would give more disruption.
03:10So something to watch.
03:11Now we've got this broad yellow wind warning in place.
03:15But as I said, those winds could for a smaller area
03:17be a little bit more significant.
03:19So it's something we're keeping a close eye on.
03:21Make sure you keep up to date with the warnings.
