00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest weather forecast on the Met Office. As we go through

00:04the last few days of August, the weather is certainly set to remain fairly changeable

00:08across the UK. We have this area low pressure dominating proceedings initially. That gets

00:14quickly replaced by another area low pressure as we head towards the end of the week, with

00:17the rain towards the end of the week mainly focused across the southern half of the UK.

00:22Back to this evening, and for a lot of England and Wales, we end Monday off on a fairly dry

00:28note. A few showers around, but quite a lot of cloud too. For Scotland and Northern Ireland

00:32though, we see this band of showery rain spread its way south-eastwards during the course

00:36of the night. Some heavy bursts on it, especially across the Northern Isles, maybe also across

00:40the Highlands too. And for many of us, temperatures generally remain in double figures.

00:46So we start Tuesday tracking this band of showery rain across southern Scotland, moves

00:50into Northern England, Wales quite quickly, and then spreads its way south-eastwards through

00:54the course of the day. Behind it for Northern Ireland and Scotland, a rash of showers, especially

00:59for parts of Scotland. Some of these showers here could potentially turn quite heavy, maybe

01:02even the odd rumble of thunder, and brought in on a fairly blustery wind, making it feel

01:07a little bit cooler here than of late. Elsewhere, not too bad in any sunshine, could see highs

01:12reaching 21 or 22 degrees in the south.

01:16Into the evening, this band of showery rain will continue to clear towards the south-east,

01:20leaving many southern parts of the country dry with some clear skies. But further north,

01:25continuation of a mixture of clear spells and scattered showers. And again, some of

01:30these showers could be potentially heavy up across the north.

01:33Overall, a cooler night than of late, especially in the countryside, could see lows falling

01:37down to about 5 to 6 degrees in a few spots.

01:41But that will set us up for a much brighter start on Wednesday, and I'm hopeful a lot

01:45more sunshine around compared to recent days. Still the risk of a few showers, some of these

01:49showers could be potentially quite heavy initially across northern England, but they

01:53will sink their way into parts of Yorkshire, the Midlands and East Anglia as the day goes

01:57on. Also, the risk of some further showers for northern Scotland. But elsewhere, hopefully

02:01more in the way of dry weather, especially down towards the south-western corner here,

02:05we could actually see some good amounts of sunshine as the day goes on.

02:09And in the sunshine, feeling once again not too bad, highs reaching the low 20s, but temperatures

02:14tempered somewhat in the north by this breeze.
