00:00Hello there. Welcome to your latest Met Office forecast. We've had low pressure dominating

00:06through the weekend. In fact, low pressure continues to remain across the U.K. as we

00:11go through Monday, turning quite wet, particularly across parts of England and Wales. But there

00:15is some hope on the horizon. High pressure starts to build as we head towards the middle

00:20of the week and bringing some higher temperatures as well. We do have rain though spreading

00:25in this evening across southern and western parts of the U.K. This rain pushing north-eastwards

00:30into the early hours across England and Wales, turning heavy. And Met Office warning out

00:34for that heavy rain across northern parts of England, western Wales, some localised

00:39flooding possible here. So expect some disruption as we head into Monday morning. Clearest bells

00:45across Northern Ireland and Scotland, though there will be a few showers here. And here

00:50is where we'll see the lowest temperatures, perhaps just about dipping into single figures

00:54in the glens. But for most, generally holding up in double figures, 14 to 17 Celsius. So

01:00wet start across England and Wales to start Monday morning. The rain heavy at times and

01:05this slowly pushes its way eastwards as we go through the day, a developing area of low

01:09pressure. So the winds may start to pick up as well, particularly in the east through

01:13the afternoon and into the evening, but turning brighter from the west behind it. Across Northern

01:18Ireland and Scotland, brighter spells here, some sunny spells, but also a scattering of

01:22showers. Some of these showers on the heavy side as well. In terms of temperatures, quite

01:27similar to recent days overall, generally the high teens to low 20s. Perhaps we could

01:33squeeze a 23 or 24 Celsius in the best of any brighter breaks later on in the day. And

01:39as I mentioned, the winds just starting to pick up towards eastern England as that low

01:43pressure starts to move off the scene. Still the risk of some heavy bursts of rain across

01:49Northern England for a time in the evening and then that low pressure moves out the way

01:53into Monday night, Tuesday morning. We'll see a calmer night to come. Generally clear

01:58spells developing as winds fall light. We could see one or two shallow mist and fog

02:02patches forming and still the risk of a few showers across northern and western areas

02:07though generally on the light side and temperatures again generally holding up around 13 to 15

02:13Celsius. So it means generally a brighter start to Tuesday morning. Sunny spells, any

02:18mist and fog patches quickly clearing and then the day ahead is going to be a day of

02:22sunny spells and scattered showers. The showers bubble up through into the afternoon. Some

02:26of them could be on the heavy side, the odd rumble of thunder, but there will be places

02:31that stay dry and bright and with generally light winds it will feel fairly warm in the

02:35sunshine. Temperatures again reaching into the low 20s, 23 or 24 Celsius towards the

02:41southeast. And then as I mentioned, high pressure starting to build in as we head towards Wednesday

02:47onwards. So it will start to become drier. We'll see more in the way of sunny spells

02:51and temperatures starting to rise, but the humidity rising as well by the end of the

02:55week into next weekend. We could see an increasing risk of thunderstorms. So if you'd like more
