00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest weather update from The Met. As we go through the

00:04next few days, the weather is certainly set to remain unsettled, especially towards the

00:08middle part of the week. We've already got warnings in force. More on that in a little

00:11bit. Back to here and now, we have this huge area of low pressure generally dominating

00:16the British Isles as we go through the next 24 hours. Note the tightly packed isobars

00:20across Scotland and Northern Ireland indicating it's going to be pretty windy here too, maybe

00:25a little bit drier and a bit calmer towards the southeast. So a little bit more detail

00:29for the rest of Sunday. Have this area of rain across Scotland, Northern Ireland. That

00:33will spread its way eastwards across the rest of the British Isles as we go through the

00:37course of the night. Some heavy rain still though as we end the night across Scotland

00:42and quite windy here. Risk of gales, severe gales initially during the course of the night

00:46but they may well ease a little bit as we head towards dawn. A mild night for all of

00:50us. Temperatures staying firmly in double figures. So as we start Monday, we've still

00:55got maybe a little bit of overnight rain to contend with down towards the very far southeast

00:59but for a lot of England and Wales actually, we can start the new working week with plenty

01:03of sunshine. Showers from the word go for Scotland and Northern Ireland and they may

01:07well spread their way a little bit further southwards as the day goes on. But all the

01:10time, the most frequent and heaviest showers really going to be reserved for Scotland and

01:15Northern Ireland. Blustery here too, winds a little bit lighter further south and thanks

01:19to that, we're actually going to feel quite warm here. Highs reaching 22 to 23 degrees

01:24in the southeast. Into the evening, actually a fine end to the day for a good chunk of

01:30England, Wales, eastern Scotland. Further outbreaks of rain or showers for western Scotland

01:34and Northern Ireland however as we go through the course of the night. But elsewhere under

01:38the clearer skies, may see a little bit of mist and fog form and then just the risk of

01:42a few showers just developing later on across the very far south coast of England. Another

01:47mild night however, temperatures staying once again in double figures. So we're keeping

01:53a close eye on these showers as they work their way across parts of south-east England

01:57and east Anglia during the course of the morning. Could hear a few rumbles of thunder too. But

02:01then note this next band of rain spreading eastwards across the country. Could turn quite

02:05gusty and squally as this band of rain moves its way eastwards. Quite heavy too for Scotland

02:11but behind it, we then return to a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. Temperatures

02:17on Tuesday, very similar. So kind of around the high teens in the north, low twenties

02:22across the south. But once again, kind of tempered a little bit by that strength of

02:26the wind. And then towards the middle of the week, we're keeping a very close eye on things.

02:30We have a very strong jet stream out in the Atlantic. So that's a breeding ground really

02:34for some deep areas of low pressure. And one of these will move their way towards the British

02:38Isles as we go into Wednesday. Potentially a very windy spell, especially so for the

02:42Republic of Ireland but also for ourselves. So we do already have some warnings out in

02:48force for Wednesday and Thursday. Risk of gusts reaching 80 miles an hour along some

02:53exposed coastlines of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. So we will keep a very

02:58close eye on things. My main advice at the moment is to keep an eye on the weather forecast

03:02and you can always check out our website or social media for the latest weather updates.

03:06But that's all from me. Take care and I'll see you again soon.
