00:00Hello. It feels a lot colder out there today compared to last week. It is going to turn

00:04milder over the next couple of days and there's more wet and windy weather to come as well.

00:09This is the picture from space. It's a bit of a mishmash across the UK, but behind me

00:14lurking out in the Atlantic, a much larger, thicker area of cloud. That is an area of

00:19low pressure that will bring most of us a wet start to Tuesday. It's not with us yet,

00:24however, so we're dealing with this mixture of brighter spells and showers today. The

00:29showers are already starting to fade across the south. Still some coming in here and

00:33certainly plenty of showers through the rest of today across Western Scotland and Northern

00:37Ireland and North West England. Some heavy ones, hail and thunder possible with snow

00:41on the hills. Further south and east, though, not too many showers. Much of eastern England,

00:46northeast Scotland staying dry and bright. It isn't warm, however. Temperatures close

00:51to average, but add on that wind and it certainly feels a lot colder than it has done for most

00:57days so far this year. However, it is going to turn milder eventually because of that

01:02weather system we saw earlier on the satellite starting to push in, initially just bringing

01:06cloud into the southwest through this evening. At the same time, the showers slowly fading

01:11during the evening across Western Scotland. But here comes the rain. It will be turning

01:16quite heavy over parts of Wales and southwest England by dawn as the wet weather arrives.

01:22Temperatures will be on the rise. So we start at eight or nine Celsius in the southwest.

01:26But ahead of it, we could see those temperatures dropping well down into single figures, maybe

01:30even some pockets of frost across northeast Scotland to start Tuesday morning. But quite

01:36quickly, the rain and the wind will take over. So although it may start dry across eastern

01:41England and much of Scotland, that won't last in the rain. Heavy and persistent across Wales

01:46and northwest England. We have seen a lot of rain recently, so this extra rain could

01:50cause some issues. We do have Met Office yellow warnings in place. Fairly wet morning for

01:55Northern Ireland, sending a little dry here come the afternoon and southern and eastern

01:59parts of England also drying up a little bit as we go through the day. It is going to be

02:04quite gusty, particularly across Wales and the West Coast especially, but also the westernmost

02:09fringes of England across northern parts of Scotland. A blustery day too. Those winds

02:14are bringing mild air, so it is going to be a much milder day compared to Monday. Double

02:20digits almost across the board. In fact, teens for many places. So it is a lot milder, although

02:24of course, it won't feel like 13 or 14 because of the wind and the rain. Now, this band of

02:29rain will continue to cross through Wales and spread into parts of the Midlands during

02:34Tuesday evening. A wet one too for southwest England. The rain spreading to East Anglia

02:38and the southeast. And then it's more showers following on behind. And we're kind of going

02:44to be in this pattern of persistent rain, followed by a brief dry spell, followed by

02:48showers through the rest of this week. So showers for Monday. There's Tuesday's rain

02:52from this weather system. Low pressure nearby driving more showers in and gusty winds on

02:57Wednesday and then more weather front springing, more persistent rain on Thursday before we're

03:02back to showers on Friday. So chopping and changing an awful lot through this week. But

03:06rain is never going to be too far away. We'll have a full detailed week ahead forecast for

03:12you on YouTube by Monday afternoon. Otherwise, make sure you're following us right across
