00:00Hello. Welcome along to a latest update from the Met Office.
00:04The rest of today's headline could be the rest of this week headline, really.
00:08For the vast majority, it's looking dry, fine.
00:11There will be some areas of cloud,
00:13but for many we'll see some blue sky and a bit of sunshine
00:16and mostly the wind's pretty light, as is often the case when that's the forecast.
00:20Yes, it's high pressure in control of our weather,
00:23but not just for the short term.
00:25This high is going to stick around for most of this week.
00:28Now, there are some areas of cloud, as the satellite picture from earlier on shows.
00:32It's got a misty, murky start in many places too,
00:35and the cloud is likely to still be in places across parts of Wales,
00:39south-west England, well into the afternoon.
00:42Thicker cloud at times across north-east Scotland
00:44and the eastern side of Northern Ireland.
00:46Always like to be a bit misty, especially on the coastal strip here.
00:50But otherwise, as I said, most places dry, fine and sunny.
00:53Bit of a breeze along the coast of East Anglia and the far south-east,
00:57and that breeze will have an impact on the temperature,
01:00so on the coast, maybe only in the high teens.
01:02But for most, we're creeping up into the 20s
01:05and some could get to 23 or 24 during the afternoon.
01:09Through this evening, not a great deal of change.
01:11I think we'll start to see the mist and fog coming back through the night
01:14and we'll see more cloud just drifting in from the North Sea
01:17into parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire.
01:19It might just produce the odd spot of drizzly rain.
01:22The eastern side of Northern Ireland, seeing the mist and fog perhaps returning inland
01:26and staying quite murky overnight
01:28and into Tuesday across the far north of Scotland.
01:31Temperature-wise, mostly holding up in double digits,
01:33certainly in towns and cities,
01:35but some rural spots dropping down to 8 or 9 Celsius.
01:39On to Tuesday and we will start to think fairly cloudy
01:42across East Yorkshire, parts of Lincolnshire
01:44and, as I said, maybe just the odd light shower is possible here.
01:48Staying fairly cloudy across northernmost parts of Scotland
01:51and misty, murky conditions never far away from the east coast of Northern Ireland.
01:56But for most, it's dry, it's fine.
01:58Good spells of sunshine across the south,
02:00through southern Scotland as well and across Wales.
02:03There will again be a brisk breeze at times across the coast of East Anglia
02:07and the south-east, making it feel perhaps a little fresh here.
02:10And where it stays cloudy, temperatures may struggle to get out of the teens,
02:14but mostly we're looking at low 20s once more,
02:1724, 25 as possible in western parts of Scotland.
02:22Not a great deal of change again through Tuesday evening.
02:24The high pressure is still around,
02:25so there will still be some areas of cloud trapped
02:28that have become fairly slow-moving,
02:30staying fairly misty and murky across northern coasts of Scotland as well.
02:35But otherwise, it stays dry and it stays mostly fine
02:38for much of the rest of this week.
02:40We will see contrast in temperatures, however.
02:43The warmest weather always likely, particularly midweek,
02:46across parts of the west, Northern Ireland, western Scotland,
02:48where we could see temperatures in the mid-20s or even a little bit higher,
02:52but parts of the east will be a little bit cooler, especially from Thursday.
02:56More details on that in our detailed week-ahead forecast.
03:00That will be available from Monday afternoon on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
