00:00Hello there. We haven't quite reached Halloween yet, but as you wake up on Tuesday morning,

00:05you might be greeted by some eerie mist and fog. It's due to the clearing skies and lighter

00:10winds that many of us will see throughout the night. The showers across Scotland tending

00:14to fade away, bar from the far north and clear intervals persisting for many other areas

00:19as well, allowing that mist and fog to develop. Underneath those clear skies, temperatures

00:24will be taking a bit of a tumble as well, particularly in the west for Northern Ireland

00:28where a touch of frost is possible. Some rural locations getting down to as low as

00:32minus two degrees Celsius. So it will be a fairly chilly start to Tuesday morning, particularly

00:38so where some of this fog lingers. Northern Ireland, Wales down into central southern

00:42areas of England. The sun not quite strong enough to clear this until around 10 o'clock

00:46in the morning, but once it does so plenty of sunshine throughout the rest of the day

00:51and Tuesday is looking like a fairly fine day to get out and about. But you are out

00:56in the sunshine. Temperatures not doing too bad for the time of year. Highs of 14 degrees

01:00in Scotland and 18 degrees across southern areas of England. It's also here where we'll

01:06see the cloud developing across Devon, Cornwall, the winds strengthening as well, and it's

01:11due to an area of low pressure that is sat out in the Atlantic. As we move towards the

01:16second half of the week, this low pressure will begin to shift its way northwards and

01:20the weather fronts associated with it will also bring showers and outbreaks of rain and

01:24generally a more unsettled period to come. We'll begin to see the influence of this low

01:29pressure centre then as we move throughout Tuesday evening. The cloud spreading its way

01:33northwards, some showers and outbreaks of rain developing. These could be heavy at times

01:38with the risk of some thunderstorms across southwest England. Underneath this lowering

01:42cloud, it will be quite murky and that will bring in some milder air as well, with those

01:46winds coming up from the south areas in the southwest, not really dropping below double

01:50digits. Ahead of that frontal system in the north, though, it will retain that cooler

01:56and fresher air. So a touch of frost is still possible across the far north of Scotland

02:00as we wake up on Wednesday morning. So a bit of a mixed picture as we move throughout the

02:05day. The cloud continuing to push its way northwards now across Northern Ireland into

02:09other areas of England and southern Scotland. Still the risk of those heavy showers in there

02:13and the odd rumble of thunder. It's the far north of Scotland, the Highlands, the Northern

02:18Isles that are going to continue to see the brightest and clearest skies over the course

02:22of Wednesday. Temperatures again in the south where we're feeding in those southerly winds

02:28will be on the mild side, around 17 degrees Celsius, but just that bit fresher still in

02:33the far north. As we move throughout the rest of the week, that low pressure centre then

02:38is staying with us. So we do have a few more showers to contend with. With those southerly

02:43winds, though, it is going to stay rather mild, particularly in the south, climbing

02:47towards highs of 21-20 degrees Celsius, which is rather warm for the time of year. The showers

02:53potentially more widespread over the course of Friday and we'll continue to see a few

02:57of them as we push into the weekend as well. You can catch a full forecast for the week

03:06media channels as well. And we'll see you later. Bye bye.
