00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Storm Ellen has been

00:05named by the Irish Met Service bringing some very strong winds and some heavy rainfall

00:09across the Republic of Ireland and tracking its way into parts of Northern England and

00:13Scotland through this afternoon. We do then see a very brief ridge of high pressure through

00:17Saturday evening before the next system pushes in from the west through Sunday and into the

00:21start of next week. Back to Saturday afternoon though and that heavy rain that we saw across

00:26England and Wales has pushed its way north and eastwards into Northern England, Northern

00:30Ireland and into parts of eastern Scotland as well where we could see the heaviest rainfall

00:34and this rain already falling on some very wet ground. The best of the sunshine through

00:38Saturday afternoon, definitely across the south and east of the UK and temperatures

00:41here around 13 or 14 degrees but with a strong westerly wind that will take a notch off those

00:46temperatures. Temperatures generally closer to average across parts of Northern England

00:50and parts of Northern Ireland as well but again those strong winds making it feel quite

00:53chilly here. Through Saturday evening that rain across the northern half of the UK tracks

00:59its way south and eastwards bringing some particularly heavy rainfall across the Pennines

01:03overnight tonight and into Sunday morning. Some clear spells still persisting across

01:07England and Wales but despite those clear spells there will be some strong winds and

01:10that should help keep temperatures up above freezing. Temperatures across the south generally

01:14around 6 or 7 degrees but perhaps just a little bit cooler across the northern half of the

01:18UK. Despite that bright and sunny start across England and Wales on Sunday morning and the

01:24next system pushes in from the west bringing further spells of wet and windy weather that

01:29spread their way north and eastwards through into Sunday afternoon. That heavy rain again

01:33falling on some very saturated ground so perhaps some localised flooding in places and those

01:38strong winds generally affecting those western coasts first. The best of the sunshine definitely

01:42across parts of England and Wales through Sunday afternoon and again temperatures here

01:46around 13 or 14 degrees but those strong winds definitely taking a notch off those temperatures

01:51and a little bit cooler across Northern Ireland, Northern England and Scotland with all that

01:55cloud and rain. Through Sunday evening those clear skies persist for a time across parts

02:00of England and Wales before we see some showers pushing in from the west into the early hours

02:04of Monday morning. The heaviest showers likely across Northern Ireland, Wales and then into

02:08parts of Northern England as well into the early hours of Monday morning but generally

02:11the south and the east will be staying a little bit clearer. Further wet weather on its way

02:16on Monday but you can make sure you can find out more about that on our social media channels
