00:00Hello, and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Well, the second

00:06half of the weekend is looking much better than it did on Saturday, with Storm Anthony

00:11finally clearing away to the east. This is meaning we're going to see some high pressure

00:16briefly building into the south on Monday, so bringing a slightly more settled day here.

00:22But it's only short-lived as low pressure moves in from the west again as we go into

00:27Tuesday, bringing plenty of cloud and further outbreaks of rain. But before we go into

00:33that, let's have a look at the detail for the rest of today. It'll be dry for many with

00:39plenty of sunshine around, but still a few showers developing, especially down the central

00:44spine of the UK. There will be some heavier showers, especially across Scotland, northern

00:50England and Northern Ireland. We could see the odd rumble of thunder here, too. Generally,

00:56though, winds will be light, still a bit of a brisk breeze down eastern coast that might

01:01just take the edge of the temperatures there. But elsewhere, feeling much more pleasant

01:06than Saturday, with highs of twenty one in the south. Now, as we move through to Sunday

01:12evening and we'll slowly start to see those showers easing and they'll become increasingly

01:17confined to the northern half of the UK, maybe the odd heavier shower for a time. But for

01:23many, plenty of clear spells developing, maybe the odd patch of mist and fog in eastern

01:28and southern areas. But with light winds and clear skies, temperatures will be dropping

01:33a bit more readily, quite widely than we saw on Saturday night. So for rural areas, those

01:39temperatures might just get down into the mid or even low single figures. But this will

01:44make for a fresh, bright start to the new week. Plenty of sunshine around, though we

01:50will once again see that cloud starting to bubble up as we go towards mid to late morning

01:55and that will allow a few showers to develop, mostly across the northern half of the UK,

02:00maybe the odd one reaching into East Anglia for a time. These will be mostly light in

02:04nature. The heaviest showers will be across the far north of Scotland, where again we

02:09could see the odd thunderstorm. But let's just have a look further west. We've got that

02:13low pressure moving in as we go into Monday afternoon, bringing increasing cloud cover

02:19across the southwest as well as the odd spot of rain. But it will still feel pleasant in

02:25any of that sunshine. Temperatures doing even better than what we're expecting for Sunday

02:29with highs of 22, maybe even locally 23 in the southeast. As we go into Monday evening,

02:36those showers will continue for a time across the north, but they will slowly start to ease

02:42and allow some clear spells to develop light winds here. But things starting to increase

02:48wind wise from the southwest as that low pushes in, bringing more in the way of cloud

02:53and outbreaks of rain too, especially to southwestern areas as we go into the early hours of Tuesday.
