00:00Hello, much of the country saw a fairly wet picture on Monday, so for most areas it's

00:05a better day as we head through the rest of Tuesday with lots more sunshine to come. Yes,

00:09there will be a few scattered showers across parts of England and Wales, but I think you'll

00:12be fairly unlucky to catch one. Most places will be dry, but there will be more cloud

00:16continuing to affect parts of Scotland and here a much greater risk of showers, particularly

00:21across south east Scotland, north east England, where here they could be heavy with the risk

00:25of some downpours and some thunderstorms as well. So definitely worth staying in touch

00:28with the forecast for that. Winds will be fairly light as well, so I think if you're

00:32in that sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm for most areas. Temperatures ranging from

00:3515 across the far north to the low 20s for Scotland and Northern Ireland, but 23 or 24

00:40degrees there towards the south east. So again, in that sunshine, feeling fairly warm. Now

00:45as we head through the rest of Tuesday into the evening and overnight, most places will

00:48end the day on a dry note with some late sunshine. Yes, there will still be a few showers across

00:52the far north east, but these tend to fade away as we head through the night. As we head

00:56through the early hours, more cloud continuing across parts of Scotland, but elsewhere clear

00:59skies will lead to one or two mist and fog patches and actually turning fairly cool in

01:03some rural spots as well. We could see temperatures dropping to single figures, but for most towns

01:07and cities temperatures holding up 10 to 13 degrees Celsius. So under those clear skies

01:12we get off to a fairly bright start on Wednesday morning, particularly across England, Wales,

01:16Northern Ireland and actually for most places it will stay fine and dry throughout the day.

01:19Again, we can't rule out the odd isolated showers, but you will be fairly unlucky to

01:23catch one. More cloud though, continuing across parts of Scotland, north east England

01:27and here's a greater risk of a shower, but I don't think they'll be quite as intense

01:31as they will be on Tuesday. Again, winds will stay light and so in that sunshine it will

01:36feel warm. Temperatures ranging from 14 in the far north to 24, 25 degrees there towards

01:41the south east and again in light winds it will feel fairly summery I think. Through

01:46the rest of Wednesday into the evening and overnight, most places will stay dry. Again,

01:49one or two isolated showers will tend to fade away and under those clear skies turning

01:53fairly cool in some rural spots with one or two mist and fog patches once again. But

01:57we will see temperatures rising as we head towards the end of the working week, particularly

02:01into Friday and so with that there's an increasing risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms. For
