00:00Hello, the cool and changeable weather that we've seen so much of recently is gradually

00:05changing to drier, brighter and warmer weather. But it's going to take some time, particularly

00:11in the north where continued showers overnight across northern and western Scotland, Northern

00:17Ireland, north-west England and north Wales will eventually become confined to coastal

00:22areas, clear spells elsewhere and a cool night to come with a north-westerly airflow and

00:27temperatures in some sheltered spots in the single figures. But it's in the south and

00:31the east where we see the best of the sunshine first thing Tuesday and actually some decent

00:36breaks in the cloud by the afternoon for Scotland, for northern England, into the north Midlands,

00:41north Wales. Fewer showers compared to Monday here, a lot of cloud further south and with

00:47that cool air in place, well temperatures not far from average, in fact in some spots

00:52a little below average, 22 Celsius in the south, 19 to 20 further north. But by the

00:57end of the afternoon, well it's starting to turn more damp for western Scotland, northern

01:02Ireland as well. A couple of weather fronts moving in will bring spells of rain to Scotland

01:08and then eventually overnight, northern England, north Wales, northern Ireland. For many that

01:12rain will be on and off but it will become increasingly heavy and persistent over the

01:16western hills of Scotland along with a freshening breeze. However, as the cloud and those out

01:22breaks of rain move in from the northwest, well they're also dragging in more humid air

01:26from the Atlantic so it's not as cool as we start off Wednesday, temperatures in many

01:31spots in the mid-teens. And in the south, well no rain at all, in fact it's a dry week

01:37for southern parts of England and south Wales. Some sunny spells coming through by the afternoon

01:41here, a brighter day compared to Tuesday and a warmer day with temperatures reaching the

01:47mid-20s in places. But for northern England, Scotland, northern Ireland, cloudier and with

01:55spells of rain as well as a gusty breeze, it's going to feel on the cool side. So we

02:00keep the cool and changeable weather in the north over the next couple of days. It's increasingly

02:05dry, sunny and warm in the south. And by the end of the week, high pressure to the west

02:12increasingly influences much of the UK. This has come from the Azores, it's migrating towards

02:18the UK, the isobars are opening out by Friday and that high is extending its influence across

02:24more and more of the UK, keeping weather fronts confined to the north of Scotland where the

02:29weather will stay at times cloudy and showery but elsewhere across the UK. By Saturday at

02:35least it's turning drier, brighter and warmer. More details on the week ahead and the trends
