00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your weather forecast from The Metaphyst. We're looking ahead to

00:04the new working week. For most of us, it should be mostly dry and settled with some spells

00:08of sunshine. But towards the north, we will see some rain and cloud at times and that's

00:13really how we're going to end the weekend. We've got this weather front across Northern

00:15Ireland and Scotland. It will weaken as we finish the weekend as high pressure really

00:20begins to dominate proceedings across the British Isles. But from time to time, weather

00:24fronts will just try to come in across Scotland and Northern Ireland, just bringing in some

00:28further outbreaks of rain from time to time. Back to Sunday and you can see this weather

00:34front across Scotland and Northern Ireland, probably the most persistent rain over towards

00:38eastern and central Scotland. The very far north of Scotland, Shetland, Orkney and the

00:42Western Isles, actually here we'll see some sunshine and maybe very later on in the afternoon

00:46also for the far north of Northern Ireland. But really, the best of sunshine this afternoon

00:51will be across England and Wales and in the sunshine highs of 21 to 22 degrees. But please

00:57do note high UV levels if you are out and about. Into the evening, continuation of the

01:03cloud and some outbreaks of rain for Scotland and Northern Ireland. But the rain will continue

01:07to weaken and probably become a little bit more restricted to eastern Scotland by the

01:11end of the night. Towards England and Wales, we will see some low cloud just moving in

01:15across eastern England, maybe also the odd shower. Where the clearest of skies over towards

01:21Wales and the Midlands will allow another chilly night. Could see lows as low as one

01:25or two degrees in a few spots. So as we start the new working week, the best of the sunshine

01:30will be out towards many western parts of the UK where further east you are, the risk

01:35of some low cloud coming in off the North Sea. The low cloud could be quite stubborn

01:40to clear really, east Anglia. So it could be quite disappointing in some spots as we

01:43move through the day. But it should begin to cheer up, especially for eastern Scotland

01:47and becoming a little bit drier here, especially compared to today. In the sunshine, feeling

01:53warm once again, could see highs reaching 23 or 24 degrees down towards Wales and the Midlands.

02:00And then looking ahead to the week ahead, very little changes actually. Most of us are

02:03seeing a mostly dry and sunny week. A little bit of rain as I mentioned from time to time

02:08across Scotland and Northern Ireland. But in any sunshine it will feel quite warm. Potentially

02:13by Thursday we could see highs reaching the mid-20s in the south. But you can find out

02:17more about the weather for the week ahead on our website or on our social media channels.

02:22But that's all from me for now. Take care and I'll see you again soon.
