00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office.

00:04For most, it's fairly quiet over the next few days, a few showers lurking around, clouds

00:09drifting across the sky and the chance of some rain towards the north as well as the

00:12west.

00:13The air remains fairly cool towards the east through the next 24 hours, but high pressure

00:19extends from the southwest.

00:21Any weather fronts moving in will be weakened by this anti-cyclone, however on Thursday

00:26and into Friday, this cold front could trigger one or two sharp showers for the end of the

00:32working week, but temperatures relatively will be on the warm side if you catch some

00:37sunshine.

00:38Now, for the time being, that's Tuesday evening, there are still a few showers out there, anywhere

00:44from borders, eastern counties of England, across Pennine districts, perhaps one or two

00:48floating across the Irish Sea coast and a driving wind coming in across Shetland as

00:54well as Orkney.

00:56At the same time, the cloud will thicken across western Scotland and here we could

01:00see a little bit of patchy rain as we head into Wednesday morning.

01:04Under clearer skies, temperatures will be single figures and in fact some pockets of

01:07frost can't be ruled out, particularly towards the northeast of Scotland.

01:11For the west, a relatively mild start to the day as the cloud continues to thicken and

01:16the wind picks up further strength.

01:17A bit of a cloudy start for northern counties down towards the Midlands, but the cloud will

01:22break here and through the afternoon we could just about see a scattering of showers extending

01:27towards the southeast.

01:29Some fine weather elsewhere, the sunshine rather hazy as this rain skirts the far north

01:33and west of Scotland and again with a driving wind.

01:36Now, for much of the country, it's a fine day.

01:40Temperatures will reach around 16 to 18, 19 degrees Celsius, a little cooler along this

01:45east coast and as I said, the cloud will come and go, so it will be patchy, we're not expecting

01:50water will blue sky and sunshine, but even so, some fine weather.

01:55Now through Wednesday evening and overnight, this rain tends to push down towards Aberdeenshire,

02:00again it will be light and patchy.

02:03Elsewhere the clouds will come and go, we could see again temperatures dipping down

02:06to low single figures, but always more breeze towards the north as well as the west where

02:11through Thursday, slowly but surely, another weather front comes in.

02:15It's pretty much a showery rain which will just come and go with that breeze as well.

02:20Elsewhere, hazy sunshine through much of the day, one or two isolated showers, most places

02:26will be fine and dry as temperatures climb very nicely to around 16, 19, 20 degrees Celsius.

02:32The mid teens for the western side and a little rain across the western part of Northern Ireland,

02:37drier further south and east.

02:38Here's your city's list for Friday, watch out for some sharp showers across England

02:43and Wales, mostly dry further north and west.

02:45I'll see you later.
