00:00Hello again. The summery weather and heatwave conditions some of us are having at the moment
00:04are set to continue through much of the week at least. And with that, it's going to be
00:08largely settled because high pressure is firmly in control and it's the position of the high
00:13pressure out towards the east of us that means we are dragging in some hot air from the south,
00:18which is why temperatures are above average for the time of year. That being said, there
00:22will be a weather system likely to come up from the south as we go later on this week
00:27and that brings the risk of some showery, perhaps thundery weather later on. But there
00:31is a bit of uncertainty as to where this will be or whether it will come across us at all.
00:36So worth keeping up to date with the forecast as we get nearer the time to this. Back to
00:40the here and now and through Monday evening and overnight, there's a front across the
00:44far north of Scotland, bringing some cloud and some rain to Shetland. Elsewhere across
00:48the UK, we have largely clear skies, though I am expecting some mist and fog to develop
00:53particularly across parts of Scotland and northeastern England. Meanwhile, in the southwest,
00:57some strong blustery winds will largely keep any mist and fog at bay. Temperatures aren't
01:02going to drop a huge amount. Many towns and cities holding up in the mid to high teens
01:06Celsius, so particularly towards the south, quite a warm night, a difficult night for
01:10sleeping for some of us. Tuesday then should get off to a bright start for most. Any mist
01:15and fog towards the east and northeast will quickly clear away. The front that I mentioned
01:20earlier across the far north of Scotland edging a little bit further southwards. And
01:23so that means things will turn a bit brighter across Shetland, but it's a reversal of fortunes
01:28for Orkney. Here it's going to turn cloudier and there could be a little bit of drizzly
01:33rain similar for the far north of mainland Scotland too. Otherwise, lots of blue skies,
01:38plenty of sunshine across the rest of the UK. And with that, temperatures could get
01:42even higher than on Monday, likely to see highs around 31 Celsius, though worth noting
01:47some strong blustery winds still in the southwest. Later on Tuesday, we are going to see some
01:52low clouds, some harsh and sea fret pushing in from the North Sea affecting eastern parts
01:57of Scotland and northeast England in particular. And this could lead to some murky conditions
02:01as we go overnight into Wednesday. Otherwise, though, towards the west and the south, some
02:06clear skies, but also a few pockets of mist and fog. And again, temperatures not dropping
02:10a huge amount. So another warm night generally. Through Wednesday itself, some of that low
02:15cloud is going to take a little while to clear away, but it will eventually burn back towards
02:20the coast for most. It's worth noting around some far eastern coastal parts of Scotland,
02:25particularly around Aberdeenshire and Angus here, that low cloud could actually linger
02:29well into the afternoon. Otherwise, it's a dry picture, plenty of sunshine, though there
02:34may be a little bit more cloud around compared to recent days, particularly across Northern
02:38Ireland. I am expecting some fair weather cloud to bubble up here. Temperatures on Wednesday
02:42could be even higher. Still, there's a fairly good chance we're going to see highs around
02:4632, possibly even 33 Celsius. And on Thursday, whilst there is the chance of some showers,
02:52particularly towards the north, we're likely to see similarly high temperatures. So again,
02:5732, possibly 33. It's worth noting the highest temperature we've had so far this year is
03:02only 32.2. It's not usual that we have the highest temperature of the year in September,
03:07more likely during meteorological summer, but it's not unheard of. Alex Deakin has more
03:12information on the heatwave and how high temperatures are going to get in his week ahead forecast,
03:17which is now on YouTube. Otherwise, you can keep up to date with the forecast wherever
03:21you are on both the Met Office website, our app and our social media channels. Bye bye.
