00:00Hi there. Following so much unsettled weather recently, this week at least looks a bit drier

00:07for many of us, but not entirely dry. There is still some rain and showers to talk about,

00:11especially on Monday as the weekend's low pressure moves away and it continues to bring

00:18some unsettled weather, some occluded fronts, some strong winds as well initially to the

00:22southwest. They push into the English Channel. Areas of rain or showers following into the

00:27north and west of England, parts of Wales, Northern Ireland and the most persistent

00:31wet weather affecting parts of central and northern Scotland. Although the central belt

00:35will be largely dry and it will dry up across the southeast of England with some glimmers

00:40of brightness coming through, but not much sunshine. There will be a lot of cloud, that

00:45cloud quite low across the east of Scotland in particular. So all in all, a dull and in

00:51places showery day with temperatures up to 11-13 Celsius generally. And that's how things

00:58continue into the evening as the low continues to move away. We're going to see these showers

01:03and areas of cloud drift southwards across the UK. So the low cloud across eastern Scotland

01:08pushing into the northeast of England along with a strong breeze and areas of rain or

01:12showers that then move south into East Anglia and the southeast by the end of the night.

01:17Further showers for west Wales, the southwest of England, but drying up and clearing up

01:21across Northern Ireland and for much of Scotland as well. And it's here where we'll see the

01:25lowest temperatures as we begin Tuesday. After the sky is clear, temperatures dipping to

01:31minus two to minus four Celsius in some sheltered spots, more widely two to four Celsius. And

01:36for England and Wales, well a milder night, but well it's going to be a dull and damp

01:41start to the day, especially for the east of England, low cloud, mist and fog for East

01:46Anglia and the southeast to begin things. And it only very slowly brightens up into

01:50the afternoon, if at all, in the far southeast. Otherwise, it does brighten up quite markedly

01:56across north and west England, Wales, much of Scotland seeing sunny spells to begin things

02:01before some higher cloud drifts in, turning the sunshine hazy by the end of the afternoon

02:06with some light outbreaks rain in the far north of Scotland. But for many, actually

02:11after that gloomy and in places showery start, it is a drier and brighter day compared with

02:17Monday. Best of the sunshine through central and western parts and temperatures up to ten

02:23to twelve Celsius, but feeling more pleasant with lighter winds and a bit more brightness

02:27out there. Into Tuesday night then we're going to see those areas of cloud across the far

02:33north drift further south, but the rain and the cloud clearing the far southeast, although

02:39there will be some persistent showers into Kent for a time. And overnight it will be

02:44a chilly one, this time across southern parts, whilst further north it is milder under those

02:50high and medium level clouds.
