00:00Welcome along to your national weather update. Most places having a fine Monday.

00:04There are a few showers around but generally it's dry for much of the

00:08country and a little bit of sunshine too. However that sunshine is disappearing in

00:12the west because there's a large area of cloud. It's an area of low pressure not

00:16particularly intense but it is going to bring some damp weather through the

00:20night and into Tuesday across the south. But before we get there as I said many

00:25places dry and bright today. The main exception is Scotland where we do have

00:28quite a few showers drifting through and they could turn quite heavy in a few

00:31places during the late afternoon into the evening. One or two showers possible

00:35for Northern Ireland, Northern England but most of England and Wales dry and

00:39bright. Some cloud, some sunny spells, temperatures still around or a touch

00:43below average at high teens or low 20s. The cloud will be thickening in the far

00:48southwest. We saw it earlier and that will bring maybe one or two light

00:52showers in here during the evening as well. We'll continue with the threat of

00:56some heavier showers across northern Scotland well into the evening but even

01:00here they should tend to fade overnight. Slightly clear skies across Scotland,

01:03Northern Ireland, Northern England will allow it to turn a bit chilly down into

01:07single figures in rural spots. Further south will mostly stay in the teens but

01:11that cloud will make for a grey damp drizzly start across the coasts of South

01:17Wales, West Wales and South West England. And that thicker cloud with a little

01:21drizzly rain will push towards the Midlands and eventually across the

01:24southeast. After a bright start here it will turn quite grey by the

01:27afternoon but for much of Northern England, Northern Ireland, Central and

01:31Southern Scotland it's another fine day on Tuesday and across the far north a

01:35bit of a breeze, one or two showers but even here too some sunny spells.

01:38Temperatures again generally still below average for August, high teens in most

01:44places at best but there are signs of a bit of a change. Still some damp and

01:49drizzly weather through Tuesday evening across the southeast but out west

01:54notice there's a line of rain pushing in towards the Republic of Ireland. Now

01:58that is a warm front, it's going to drift its way northwards as we go through the

02:04course of Tuesday night and into Wednesday. It's not going to bring too

02:07much in the way of rain but it's a warm front so it's wafting in warmer air so

02:10the combination of this high pressure and that warm front means it will turn

02:13warmer through Wednesday and into Thursday. May not last all that long, this

02:18cold front is set to swoosh all that warmth away as we head towards the

02:22weekend but certainly for a couple of days something a little warmer on the

02:25way later this week. For a full week ahead forecast find out how warm it
