00:00Hello. Monday has been turning progressively wetter in many places with showers or longer
00:06spells of rain moving in from both the south and the west. And by the evening, this area
00:12of rain which started as showers is moving up through the Midlands into Northern England
00:16and North Wales. Another area of showers follows from the south. So all in all, it's a wet
00:21evening and it stays wet during the early hours as well. Rain in the west pushes into
00:26much of Northern and Central England as well. Clearer spells follow but towards the end
00:33of the night, the wind really starts to pick up. And in fact, for the French, it's going
00:38to be a particularly strong wind. That's why they've named this area of low pressure Claudio
00:43and it moves in from the south-west. It's going to cross the English Channel and it's
00:48on the southern flank that you can see the strongest wind gusts exist. Now those colours
00:53correspond to the key there and you can see across the Channel Islands into parts of
00:58northern France, we're likely to see 70 mph wind gusts in places. And along the southern
01:04English coast, 60 and in one or two exposed spots, 70 mph wind gusts. So yellow warning
01:11in force could be a tricky start Tuesday in the south and south-east corner. But the wind
01:17moderates a little as the main area of low pressure moves away and it takes its rain
01:23with it. But it stays wet through the day across the Northern Isles and quite quickly
01:27showers follow the rain. And for the southern half of the UK, those showers will be lively.
01:32They'll be coming in thick and fast. Odd rumble of thunder as well accompanied by this strong
01:37gusty wind still reaching gale force around some exposed southern and south-western coasts.
01:43Showers also for Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. A little gap there for Northern England,
01:47Northern Scotland. That's where the driest and brightest weather will be. Although you
01:50wouldn't rule out the odd shower here as well. The very blustery weather continues on Tuesday
01:55night. Eventually the most frequent showers become confined to western coasts and we'll
02:01see drier and clearer skies further east. And then the winds also ease. So I think a
02:08colder night for many, although not desperately cold, but a contrast compared with the recent
02:13very mild night's temperatures dipping into the single figures fairly widely. But although
02:19for many it's a bright start on Wednesday, we'll see the cloud thicken across Northern
02:22Ireland. Outbreaks of rain moving in here and then the wind really ramps up around western
02:27coasts with the Irish sea coast in particular likely to see wind gusts of 55 to 65 miles
02:33an hour. Again, a yellow warning in force here because of the disruption possible from
02:37that wind during Wednesday. And the spells of rain moving through Northern Ireland and
02:41Scotland reaching northern and western England as well as Wales by the end of the afternoon.
02:45But East Anglia and the south east, although it turns increasingly cloudy and breezy, will
02:49stay dry until the end of the day. 15 or 16 in the south, still a little above average
02:54for the time of year. 11 to 14 Celsius further north and with that wind and the rain not
02:59feeling very pleasant at all. Now those spells of rain cross the country from the west during
03:04Wednesday night, but they'll be slow to clear the south east during Thursday. Could be a
03:08wet day for East Anglia and the south east. Blustery showers follow to the north and
03:12west, weather staying changeable for the whole week.
