00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Low pressure is still

00:05very much in charge of our weather over the next couple of days and into the new working

00:08week. Storm Ellen, named by MetErin, slowly moves its way out to the North Sea before

00:13Storm Fergus, also named by the Irish Met Service, moves its way towards us through

00:17Sunday and into the start of Monday. This is followed by a very brief ridge of high

00:22pressure before the next system moves in later on Monday and into the start of Tuesday. Back

00:27to Saturday evening though and Storm Ellen gradually moving away towards the North Sea

00:31but still bringing some rain across parts of Northern England, Northern Ireland and

00:35Scotland as well and this rain already falling on some very saturated ground so some localised

00:40flooding possible. Some clearer skies though across parts of England and Wales and temperatures

00:44here generally a little bit above average for the time of year around 6 or 7 degrees

00:48but definitely dropping a little bit lower across the northern half of the UK. So despite

00:53that brighter start across parts of England and Wales the next system moves in quickly

00:58from the west through Sunday morning. Again this bringing some very heavy rainfall to

01:02Wales, Central and Northern England again falling on that very saturated ground so some

01:07localised flooding through Sunday morning. Some brightness developing though across England

01:11and Wales behind that system so some sunny spells through the afternoon but with a strong

01:15south-westerly wind that will take a notch off those temperatures with temperatures here

01:19around 13 or 14 degrees. A much damper and cloudier picture though across the northern

01:24half of the UK and temperatures here generally the mid to high single figures. Through Sunday

01:30evening Storm Fergus slowly moves its way towards the UK bringing some further outbreaks

01:35of heavy rain to Northern Ireland then Wales and Northern and Central England through the

01:39early hours of Monday morning. This does quite quickly clear its way towards the south-east

01:43so some clearer spells possible through the early hours of Monday morning but in Scotland

01:48definitely staying a bit of a wetter picture and temperatures generally on Sunday night

01:53into Monday morning around 7 to 8 degrees across the south and in the low single figures

01:57across the north. So a very cloudy and wet picture across parts of Scotland that rain

02:02continuing to push in from the east through the early hours of Monday morning perhaps

02:06turning wintry over any high ground. But for much of the rest of the UK generally a bit

02:10of a drier and brighter start to the new working week. Plenty of sunny spells as we head through

02:14the afternoon but winds start to strengthen from the south-west and cloud builds as well

02:19as that next system arrives. Temperatures though on Monday a little bit closer to average

02:24for the time of year around 10 to 12 degrees across the south and around those low to mid

02:29to high single figures. The next system waiting in the wings through Monday afternoon and

02:33into Tuesday but you can find out more about that forecast via our social media channels
