00:00Hi there, more lively weather coming through during the rest of Tuesday, although nothing

00:05quite as lively as we saw in the southwest and across parts of Wales during Monday night.

00:11This very active feature brought 50mm in parts of the southwest and wind gusts around exposed

00:17coastal areas of 60mph plus. It pushed through and we've got further showers coming in behind

00:23it. These showers again are aligned in bands, so when they go through it's not necessarily

00:28going to be a case of a short sharp shower. Some places will get an hour or so of wet

00:33weather and gusty winds as well. The winds surrounding these showers and around exposed

00:37coasts of 50mph, inland 40mph. Now the showers preferentially bombarding the west and the

00:45southwest but there'll be showers just about anywhere and where they do occur they'll be

00:48heavy with some rumbles of thunder. But it's relatively mild, that's southwesterly bringing

00:53mild air, 16 in the south, 12 or 13 further north and there will be some gaps in between

00:58the showers, especially towards the east and the far north with some blue skies coming

01:03through. Although I think the chance of any blue skies for prolonged periods of time is

01:08limited and there'll be further showers coming and going overnight. Increasingly some clearer

01:14interludes, more long lasting I think across central and eastern parts during the hours

01:18of darkness, a chance to see the beaver moon tonight. But towards the south and the west

01:23those showers just keep rattling through, again with a gusty breeze, 10 Celsius around

01:28the south and around coastal areas, 8 typically in the north but for sheltered parts of northern

01:34Scotland that's where temperatures could dip to 2-5 Celsius given that we'll have some

01:39clear spells. As we start Wednesday there'll be further showers and perhaps some longer

01:44spells of rain around Irish sea coast, northern England, western Scotland at times. But actually

01:50Wednesday looks like a less showery day compared with Tuesday, a better chance of some sunshine

01:55coming through and longer dry periods towards the east in particular. It's not quite as

02:01mild but with less of a breeze and fewer showers perhaps it might feel a bit more pleasant,

02:0614 or 15 in the south, 11 or 12 further north. Now change comes along later Wednesday, a

02:12sign of things to come for later in the week. These more persistent bands of rain push into

02:17western Scotland and start to affect northern Ireland as well. You can see the thickening

02:21cloud around western areas but clearer spells towards the south-east. And this south-east

02:26north-west split becomes a feature of our weather during Thursday and Friday because

02:31the winds are starting to adjust, they're going to come more from the south-south-west

02:36and as a result these weather fronts will push into north-western areas with very strong

02:41winds at times as well as persistent rain towards the north-west. But higher pressure

02:46on the continent will exert its influence towards the south-east so tending to be drier

02:50here and with this fetch from the south-west, well it's certainly going to be mild, exceptionally

02:57mild for the time of year both by day and by night, especially across northern parts

03:01of the UK.
