00:00Hello. It may be the season of mist and mellow fruitfulness, but the week ahead is shaping

00:07up to be a week of two halves. We currently have high pressure across us, but that error

00:13of high pressure is slowly slipping eastwards into the continent as we move towards midweek.

00:20But currently, the error of high pressure is helping to keep skies largely clear across

00:25England and Wales. We have got a little bit more in the way of cloud across Northern Ireland

00:30and Scotland, and we do have a few showers across this part of the world. Overnight temperatures

00:37widely dropping into mid or low single figures, especially across the south, and that's going

00:43to allow for widespread grass frost, especially in some rural spots. Further north, those

00:49temperatures holding up just a fraction. So it's a bright but dry start to Monday morning.

00:56A little bit more in the way of cloud across Northern Ireland and Scotland will offer a

01:01few showers, and some showers will start to fringe in across the far south and east during

01:06the course of the day. But it's a slightly warmer day, especially across southern areas

01:12with temperatures reaching into double figures. Although further north, these values are still

01:17widely below the seasonal average for mid-October. So as we move our way into Monday evening,

01:26winds will start to strengthen across the very far north of Scotland and also across

01:30the south and west, largely fine and dry in between. And that strengthening wind is really

01:40a result of this error of low pressure, which is moving up from the south. And that will

01:44bring a significant change with heavy outbreaks of rain pushing across all areas by the end

01:50of the week. And that rain will become locally heavy and persistent, particularly across

01:56north east Scotland by the end of the week. And we do have ourselves a yellow weather

02:01warning covering that part of the world. Stay tuned for the latest updates and bye for now.
