00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office. As we look ahead to the

00:04new working week, the weather is set to remain settled across the country as high pressure

00:08remains firmly in charge and actually will not go very far away at all as we move throughout

00:13this week. Still got a keen wind off the North Sea though so that will keep things on the

00:17chilly side, especially across the east and the south.

00:21Back to Sunday evening, we've got quite a bit of cloud across eastern Scotland and northern

00:24England. This will sink its way a little bit further southwards as the night goes on. Could

00:28just see a few outbreaks of rain too in that cloud. But for everyone else, plenty of clear

00:35skies around, especially for Scotland and the south-west of England. So here a widespread

00:39frost as we start Monday morning. Could potentially be as low as minus 8 or minus 9 in a few spots

00:45of Scotland. But where we do see the frost, we will see a fairly sunny start to the new

00:50working week but it won't last for southern parts of England. The cloud further north

00:54will sink its way southwards as we go through the course of the day. So overall, for England,

00:58Wales and a good chunk of Northern Ireland, quite a lot of cloud around. Some sunny spells

01:02in between but also still the risk of a few showers. Scotland, although the eastern side

01:08of Scotland will continue to see some cloud. Further west, plenty of sunshine as we go

01:13through the course of Monday. Feeling fairly pleasant too with light winds here and highs

01:17reaching around 7 or 8 degrees. But further south, especially towards the south-east where

01:22we have got that wind under the cloud, it is going to feel pretty chilly. So certainly

01:26feeling a lot chillier than what these temperatures suggest. Going into Monday evening, we may

01:32well just see a brief clearer slot of weather coming through across southern England but

01:35further cloud then will quickly replace this as we go through the course of the night.

01:40Best of the clear skies will be up across parts of Scotland. So here, another widespread

01:44frost as we start Tuesday morning. Elsewhere, for most towns and cities, I think we should

01:48probably stay just above freezing. And really, Tuesday for most of us actually is a very

01:54similar day. Best of the sunshine once again across parts of Scotland. Northern Ireland

01:59may well see a little bit more in the way of sunshine compared to Monday. But we are

02:02keeping a very close eye on this band of showers as it moves its way southwards across parts

02:07of England. Could well turn a little bit wintry at times, especially across the higher grounds.

02:12But certainly not really expecting too much at lower levels and certainly not settling

02:17on the surface. Temperatures on Tuesday, very similar to Monday. So again, highs reaching

02:23around 8 to 7 degrees in the north, around 9 to 10 in the south. But again, factoring

02:30the wind, it will feel a little bit cooler than this. And then looking ahead for the

02:34rest of the week, very similar weather to be had. Lots of dry and settled weather. Still

02:39the risk of the odd shower from time to time and the best of any brightness always over

02:44towards the western half of the country and still feeling pretty chilly in that northeasterly

02:49wind. Well, that's all from me for now. You can always keep up to date on the weather

02:53through our app on our website or always follow us on social media. But I will see you again

02:59soon.
