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

00:05into the new week, the weather is set to remain fairly changeable across the UK. Low pressure

00:09generally dominated. We see an area of low pressure moving across the northern half of

00:13the UK initially this week. High pressure tries to build in. It may well give the odd

00:17drier and brighter day from time to time. But as we end the week, another area of low

00:21pressure really dominates proceedings across the UK with further spells of rain.

00:26Back to this evening, and we have this week weather front which will gradually spread

00:29its way eastwards across the country. Ahead of it, any daytime showers generally fading

00:34away. And then behind it, some clearer skies for parts of the country. And under the clear

00:38skies, we will see a few mist and fog patches forming. And then later on, some showers just

00:44arriving into parts of Northern Ireland and Western Scotland. For most towns and cities,

00:48however, temperatures will remain in double figures. Could just fall into single figures

00:53across parts of southern Scotland, maybe northwestern parts of England too.

00:58So if we start Monday, a bank holiday for most of us. Some of us will start off with

01:02some sunny spells. Still got this finger of cloud across parts of the Midlands and central

01:06southern England. And as the day goes on, actually a lot of us are seeing the cloud

01:10bubbling up. So quite a cloudy afternoon to come. Still some bright spells around, however.

01:16And that cloud will be thick enough in places to produce the odd shower. Showers mainly

01:20focused across Northern Ireland and Scotland. They could be a little bit heavier here, but

01:23across England and Wales, hopefully most of the showers should be fairly light. Temperatures

01:28a little bit warmer than they have done over the weekend. Could see highs reaching around

01:3221, 22 degrees across the southern half of the UK. And in any sunshine, it should feel

01:37fairly pleasant for the time of year. Into the evening, a lot of the showers across England

01:42and Wales will quickly fade away. Maybe a pleasant end to the bank holiday weekend here.

01:47But further north across Scotland and Northern Ireland, this band of rain will spread its

01:50way south-eastwards as we go through the course of the night. Behind it, some blustery showers

01:54piling in across parts of western Scotland. So for most of us, it's going to be another

01:59night where temperatures stay in double figures. But just like recent nights, we could just

02:04fall down to about 5 to 6 degrees in some sheltered parts of England, Wales and Scotland.

02:11So Tuesday, we start off with a mixture of cloud and some sunshine. Still this area of

02:16showery rain across Northern Ireland and Scotland. That will gradually spread its way into England

02:20and Wales as the day goes on. But then further showers piling in behind it. Probably the

02:25driest of the conditions down towards the south coast of England. But even here, can't

02:29rule out the odd shower. And in between the showers, there will be some sunshine. Maybe

02:34the best of the sunshine come the afternoon across northern parts of England. Maybe south-west

02:38England also not doing too badly. Temperatures on Tuesday, very similar to what we'll see

02:43on Monday. So highs reaching 21, 22 degrees down towards the southern half of the UK.

02:48But maybe feeling a little bit cooler thanks to the fairly keen wind up across parts of

02:53north-western Scotland. Well, you can find out more about the weather for the rest of

02:57the week on our social media channels. And don't forget to follow us on YouTube for the

03:01latest video updates. But that's all from me for now. Take care and I'll see you again
