00:00Hello there. It is a rather cool and cloudy Sunday to come. If we take a look at the bigger

00:07picture we can see high pressure is trying to nudge in from the southwest, but it doesn't

00:12quite make it. So we're still in quite a cool northwesterly flow with variable clouds, some

00:17showers at times too over the next few days.

00:21So looking at the rest of Sunday and it's a fairly cloudy picture out there. There'll

00:26be some bright or sunny spells occasionally, but largely grey skies. Through the afternoon

00:31though we could see some heavy showers developing across eastern England. The odd rumble of

00:35thunder is possible, so do watch out for these.

00:38Dryer and brighter through the central swathe of the UK and then towards the west it's quite

00:43cloudy with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle too, perhaps just brightening up across Northern

00:48Ireland with a few showers later. And quite a cool northwesterly breeze, so temperatures

00:52high teens to low 20s, 21, 22 possible for one or two across the far southeast.

00:59The heavy showers across eastern England will tend to fade as we move through this evening

01:03time. This weather front just slowly pushes its way eastward through the evening into

01:07the early hours, breaking up as it does so, but it could produce one or two heavier bursts

01:12as well. And then clearer spells developing overnight for most, a few showers moving in

01:17from the Atlantic.

01:19A fairly fresh night in towns and cities holding up in double figures, generally 12 to 14 Celsius,

01:25but falling below this in the countryside.

01:28For Monday morning, a brighter start for many, some sunny spells. The remnants of this weather

01:33front just producing some cloud and patchy rain across eastern areas through the morning,

01:37this starting to break up into the afternoon. And then for most, generally a brighter day

01:41than Sunday. Still a lot of cloud around, but a lot of places dry, some sunny spells

01:46at times and the risk of a few showers just starting to turn a little breezier as well

01:51across the far northwest of the UK.

01:54As a result, with a little bit more sunshine, temperatures perhaps just a notch higher on

01:59Monday, highs getting into the low 20s towards the southeast, generally high teens for the

02:05vast majority of us.

02:07Looking over the next few days, the week ahead, it does stay changeable. We will see some

02:11rain or showers at times, but there will be some drier, brighter interludes too and temperatures

02:17generally around average, particularly during the day, perhaps a little chilly at night

02:21time.
