00:00Hi there, welcome to the latest from the Met Office. There will be some sunshine for a

00:04lucky few, especially towards the north-east of the UK during the rest of Monday, but an

00:09awful lot of cloud affects many other parts of the country, along with a few showers.

00:14A weak weather front bringing some outbreaks of rain to East Anglia into the south-east,

00:18that tending to ease later, whilst this north-westerly breeze continues to feed showers and cloudy

00:24skies into western Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of north-west England and Wales.

00:30Away from that north-westerly breeze, actually some decent sunny spells breaking out across

00:34eastern Scotland, parts of north-east England as well, and it will feel pleasant enough

00:38in that sunshine out of the breeze, but nothing spectacular as far as temperatures are concerned

00:43and it will certainly feel on the cool side towards the north-west where we are exposed

00:48to that breeze. Some bright spells for the south, and more especially as we end the day

00:53for the east of the UK, and we keep those clear skies for the first part of the night

00:57with temperatures dipping into the single figures. Meanwhile, thickening cloud, lowering

01:01cloud as well, brings increasing outbreaks of rain to Scotland, Northern Ireland, and

01:06then eventually parts of northern England, Wales and the Midlands by the end of the night.

01:11That will of course help temperatures stay up at 12 to 14 Celsius, whilst we keep the

01:17relatively cool conditions towards the far east of England. Here's the weather front

01:21responsible for that thickening cloud, it will bring a deterioration in conditions as

01:26we head through Tuesday and into Wednesday for north-western areas especially. But for

01:31the start of Tuesday, well it's dull, damp and gloomy for many, especially central and

01:37northern parts of the country. Now by the afternoon it's Northern Ireland, parts of

01:41northern England, the Midlands, East Anglia and Wales where we keep the low cloud, we

01:46keep those outbreaks of rain, especially towards north-western hills. But either side of that,

01:51actually, some decent drier and brighter spells emerging. So for parts of southern

01:55England into central and eastern Scotland, the sky is brightening as well. And it's across

02:01parts of Scotland where the highest temperatures will be I think, especially towards the south-east

02:04of Scotland, Edinburgh, the Lothians, borders potentially seeing 23 Celsius. Otherwise it's

02:10going to feel cool through this central swathe where we've got the low cloud and those bits

02:14and pieces of rain and drizzle. That weather tends to ease a little later Tuesday but we

02:20keep the relatively humid north-westerly airflow going into Wednesday. So Wednesday

02:26looks generally cloudy towards the west and north-west with further spots of rain and

02:31drizzle at times. The best of any sunny spells to the south and the east. Bye bye.
