00:00Hello. Some heavy rain around overnight, particularly across parts of central and eastern England.

00:05A bright and breezy Tuesday for most of the UK. But as I said, some quite heavy bursts

00:10of rain around at the moment, particularly through parts of Lincolnshire and East Anglia,

00:15especially North Norfolk. Some thunderstorms here before steadily clearing away through

00:20the early hours. Some clearer skies for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England

00:24should allow temperatures to dip down into single figures, certainly in the countryside.

00:28Towns and cities, double digits and quite a mild night with all the cloud across the

00:32southeast. A grey start then to Tuesday with still some outbreaks of rain, especially over

00:37the Midlands, more central parts of southern England. That rain moving across East Anglia

00:42and the southeast through the rush hour as well. So a lot of spray surface water on the

00:46roads does scoot away by lunchtime, bright skies following. There will be some showers

00:51as well, particularly for Northern England. Parts of Western Scotland are sprinkling for

00:55Northern Ireland. Stay quite breezy too across the north. Elsewhere, a bit of a breeze, some

01:00sunny spells, small chance of a shower for Wales and southwest England. But much of the

01:04south and east, I suspect, will stay dry and bright. A somewhat fresher feel with temperatures

01:09mostly in the mid to maybe high teens could squeak up to 20 Celsius in the capital, but

01:14generally say 14 to 19 Celsius to cover it. So around about average for the time of year.

01:20Still a few showers around on Tuesday evening, mostly western Scotland, northwest England

01:24and then actually another area of more persistent rain comes into parts of western Scotland.

01:30That needs watching because it's likely to linger for a good part of Wednesday. See this

01:35train of rain continuing to feed in. That could cause, say, some issues, potential for

01:40some disruption, probably getting into parts of the north of Northern Ireland late in the

01:44day. For the bulk of England and Wales, Wednesday, a fine bright day, a few scattered showers

01:50mostly for Wales and western England. Much of the east will stay dry and a bit of sun

01:54shed again could see temperatures into the high teens. But that wet weather across the

01:58northwest likely to linger as a sudden so could cause a few issues. There is a Met Office

02:03yellow warning in place being caused by this trailing waving weather front. It doesn't

02:09really stop on Wednesday night and into Thursday. We see another low pressure bringing another

02:14set of weather fronts into this zone. So that rain really building up through the second

02:19half of the week. Meanwhile, for the south through the second half of the week, high

02:23pressure is in control. And if we rewind and run through that sequence again, but with

02:28the temperatures on the middle of the week, temperatures around average. But actually,

02:32as we head towards Friday, as that low pressure starts to pull away, yes, it's going to stay

02:37wet with those weather fronts in the northwest. But look at the warmth of the air drifting

02:42northwards. The temperatures could really jump up, particularly by the weekend. Make

02:46sure you stay up to date with the latest forecasts and the best way to do that, of course, followers
