00:00Hello and welcome to the latest national weather forecast from the Met Office. Very little

00:05appreciable rainfall in the forecast for the rest of Tuesday and for the next few days

00:09as high pressure continues to dominate. High pressure is building from the north once again.

00:14Now that means that we're pulling in slightly cooler air from the northeast and a lot of

00:20cloud actually for Scotland, for much of northern, central and eastern England and a few mainly

00:26light showers particularly for the likes of Yorkshire into Lincolnshire. With that cool

00:31breeze it's certainly going to have an impact on the temperatures, 9 to 12 Celsius on the

00:36east coast. But towards the south, towards the west, brighter skies, some sunshine and

00:42feeling warmer, 15, 16, perhaps 17 Celsius. Any showers, any cloud really tends to fade

00:50into the evening and overnight and that means lengthy clear spells and with the cool air

00:56in place, temperatures will fall away. It's likely to be a fairly chilly end to the night

01:02with some spots seeing a frost, most likely sheltered parts of northern UK. You can see

01:07the blues there on the map, temperatures in one or two places dipping to minus 3 Celsius,

01:12perhaps minus 1 in the south if we get lengthy clear spells and shelter from the wind. But

01:19otherwise a bright enough start to Wednesday, plenty of sunshine first thing. There'll be

01:24some cloud floating about here and there but I think on the whole for Scotland, northern

01:29and eastern England it looks like a brighter day. Temperatures will be a little lower compared

01:34to Tuesday but with the greater amount of sunshine, less of a wind as well. It's going

01:39to feel more pleasant I think for Scotland, northern and eastern England certainly and

01:43even in the south very similar temperatures, a bit more cloud around perhaps. But for the

01:48vast majority it's staying dry, that high pressure leading to a prolonged settle spell

01:54through the rest of the week and I think Wednesday night into Thursday is another chilly one.

01:59Gardeners beware, another frost is possible in places and then Thursday again a largely

02:06dry and bright day and that really continues into the start of the bank holiday weekend.

02:11Bye bye.
