00:00Hi there, turning more humid over the next couple of days with some rain in places, although

00:04not necessarily in those areas where we are desperately in need of some wet weather, for

00:09example the South East. Having said that, it will be a largely cloudy afternoon across

00:13East Anglia and the South East, with humidity levels picking up. There will be the odd shower,

00:18but for many it's still going to stay dry here. Plenty of sunshine elsewhere, although

00:23the cloud thickening for Northern Ireland, outbreaks of rain moving in here during the

00:27afternoon and that reaching the western fringe of Scotland by the end of the afternoon. Otherwise

00:32where we've got the sunny spells, well, temperatures up into the low to mid-twenties and twenty-eight

00:38Celsius possible there towards the South East. Twenty in Belfast with those outbreaks of

00:42rain arriving and the breeze picking up. And the rain then spreads into much of Scotland,

00:48Northern England as well as parts of Wales overnight. It will be heavy and persistent

00:53over western hills, more ragged elsewhere and a few spots of rain reaching South Wales,

00:59perhaps the odd drizzly spot there for the South West of England as well. But the South

01:04East corner once again avoiding the rain and staying dry. Clear spells here, all areas

01:09see the breeze picking up and that breeze is coming from the South West, so it's going

01:12to be a muggy night, sixteen to eighteen Celsius across the board. And this warmth, this plume

01:20of humidity spreads across the UK, a warm sector in between a warm front and a cold

01:25front for Tuesday. And these fronts again bringing spells of rain, heavy and persistent

01:31for parts of Northern England and North West Wales first thing. The rain mainly affecting

01:35central parts of the country. A damp and gloomy start to the day for Scotland and Northern

01:39Ireland but things dry up and brighten up here apart from a few showers in the far North

01:43West. It will be a blustery day for many with the breeze coming in from the South West and

01:47that will bring a lot of cloud for Wales and the South West, the cloud covering the

01:51hills and some drizzle here as well. But really nothing substantial in terms of rain amounts

01:58for the South and staying dry once again in the far South East where it will be sunny

02:02but increasingly humid and feeling hot with temperatures reaching thirty Celsius. Twenty-one

02:08to twenty-five Celsius generally elsewhere, some warmth there for the East of Scotland

02:12once skies brighten up. But really into Tuesday night we keep the cloud, we keep the breeze,

02:19we keep that humid air flow and so it's another muggy night with some spots of rain in Northern

02:24Western parts of the country but again nothing significant on the horizon. From Wednesday

02:30onwards high pressure starts to move in and that means things will turn more settled once

02:36again and it will turn a bit cooler as well.
