00:00Hello, and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. We saw some showers

00:03towards the north and west of the UK on Sunday, some thunderstorms in places, particularly

00:08across Northern Ireland and the south of Scotland, and a warning stays in force there until nine

00:11o'clock on Sunday evening. But overnight, into the early hours of Monday, the focus

00:15for showers will be more towards the north and east of the UK, so Scotland, northern

00:19and eastern parts of England, seeing quite a few showers going into the early hours.

00:22Whereas out towards the west, particularly across Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west

00:26of England, more on the way of clear spells developing here, and turning quite chilly

00:29in some rural spots out towards the west and south-west. Whereas across towns and cities,

00:33temperatures generally hold up in the range 5 to 10 degrees.

00:37Into Bank Holiday Monday, and the focus for showers on Monday will be more out towards

00:41central and eastern parts of England, still some heavy, locally thundering ones around

00:45here, and with a northerly breeze into Scotland, more cloud and some showers also feeding in

00:49from the north into many mainland areas here.

00:52So the best for the sunshine on Monday, out towards the west and south-west, a much better

00:56day than on Sunday, across Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west of England. And in

01:00the sunshine, temperatures doing quite well still for the time of year, peaking at 16

01:04to 19 degrees. 19 in London, 66 in Fahrenheit. But notice towards the north-east, quite chilly

01:09at just 6 to 10 degrees.

01:12Into the evening on Monday, and into the early hours of Tuesday, still some showers out towards

01:16the north and east of the UK, maybe though towards the north and east of Scotland, running

01:20down eastern counties of England. So out towards the west, and across many central parts, and

01:24mainly dry night on Monday night. But notice the blue colours on the chart, indicating

01:28some chilly temperatures. You can see a touch of frost in some rural spots by the early

01:32hours of Tuesday morning.

01:34That takes us then into a much quieter day on Tuesday on the whole. Plenty of sunshine

01:38around, just a bit of patchy cloud around to turn the sunshine hazy at times. But notice

01:41still one or two showers up towards the far north, and running down the eastern coast

01:45of the UK. Temperatures a bit cooler than in recent days, but still not doing too badly

01:50for the time of year, peaking at 15 to 17 degrees in the south. 17 is into the low 60s

01:55in Fahrenheit, near a 9 to 13 degrees across Scotland.

01:59We hold on to plenty of fine weather, with high pressure generally dominating during

02:02the middle part of the week. But notice wet and windy weather trying to push in from the

02:06south-west, and that will turn things more unsettled as we go through Thursday and Friday.

02:10So a downturn in the weather as we go through the latter stages of the coming week.

02:14That's all pretty much it from me, but of course you can keep tuned to The Metropolis
