00:00Hello, very good day to you. Lots of southern areas had a fine, sunny and very warm weekend,

00:05but it was a wet picture across Scotland. But as we go through the rest of Monday, fine

00:10weather dominating across the bulk of the UK because of high pressure to the south.

00:14Notice there is a weak frontal system towards the northwest that is going to bring some

00:18more rain later on. But looking at the details as we go through Monday afternoon, there will

00:23be a few spots of rain across southern parts of Scotland, northern England, where the clouds

00:27thick enough, but this should clear and break up as we go through the afternoon, so turning

00:30dry and brighter here. Also a few outbreaks of rain towards the far northwest of Scotland,

00:35but nothing on the same scale as what we saw over the weekend. Elsewhere, across the rest

00:39of the UK, for Northern Ireland, central southern England and Wales, lots of fine sunny weather

00:44to be had, though some mist and murk lingering around coastal parts, particularly towards

00:48the west. In the sunshine, temperatures again rising, likely to get into the mid-twenties

00:53towards the south, so well above average for the time of year, a bit cooler further

00:57north. As we go through the end of the day, we are going to see some further rain spilling

01:01across parts of Scotland and through the early hours of Tuesday morning, that's when we'll

01:05see some cloud and rain filtering across parts of Northern Ireland and then reaching western

01:10parts of Scotland with some heavy downpours and some high totals building up here. Elsewhere

01:15across the rest of the UK, lots of dry weather to be had, though quite cloudy at times. Some

01:20clear skies across central England and Wales, but also some mist and fog filtering in across

01:24parts of western and southwestern England and Wales at times. Temperatures not dropping

01:29a huge amount because of the often cloudy skies, so most places, particularly your towns

01:33and cities, holding up in double figures. Tuesday then, a very wet picture across western

01:38parts of Scotland. The rain won't be quite as heavy as it was over the weekend, but coming

01:43on the back of some torrential downpours then, it is going to make any issues worse and so

01:48some further flooding is possible. Otherwise, we are going to see some dry, sunny weather

01:53across central southern England and Wales, but notice the rain is going to push its way

01:57a little bit further southwards as we go through the afternoon, reaching Northern Ireland,

02:01Central Scotland and perhaps some rain reaching parts of Northern England and North Wales

02:05later on in the day as well. Temperatures in the south may be down a degree or so compared

02:10to Monday, but further north they may be up a degree, but obviously in the rain and with

02:15some strong winds here, it's going to feel a little bit unpleasant at times. As we look

02:19at the bigger picture as we go through the rest of the week and you can see the fronts

02:23that we have across us on Tuesday really form that boundary between the warm air across

02:27the bulk of the UK and some colder air waiting out towards the north. As we go through the

02:32middle of the week, those fronts are going to slip their way southwards. They will bring

02:35something a bit more unsettled with them and so in the south where it has been quite dry

02:40through the last few days, it is going to turn a bit wetter for a time and we'll also

02:45see that colder air starting to push its way southwards as well. So we will see a drop

02:49in our temperatures as we go through this week. There's more information on that across

02:53our social media. Bye bye.
