00:00Good morning. Welcome to your first update of the day from the Met Office this Tuesday.

00:05Some heavy downpours around again today, starting off in the southwest of England,

00:09a narrow band of very heavy rain working its way from west to east.

00:13We do have a Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms because this band of rain will contain some intense downpours

00:19and some gusty winds. Lightning could cause some problems as well as a lot of surface water and spray on the road.

00:25So bear that in mind if you are just heading out the door across southern counties.

00:29There'll be showers elsewhere as well for parts of Scotland and northern England.

00:34They'll keep going on and off throughout the day.

00:36But for much of the Midlands, Wales and by this afternoon southern England,

00:40we should see some decent spells of sunshine and not too many showers here.

00:44Still quite breezy on the western coast, but further east the winds are certainly a lot lighter than they were yesterday.

00:49Temperatures no higher, however, mostly 8, 9, 10 Celsius across the north,

00:54maybe squeaking into the teens further south, perhaps 14 with some sunny spells on the south coast this afternoon.

01:00As we go through this evening, we'll see more showers coming into Northern Ireland,

01:04moving in on a fairly brisk wind, plenty more showers to come through the evening and overnight across Scotland also

01:10and much of northern England. Southern half the country, a few scattered showers in the west,

01:14but many places seeing some lengthy clear spells. A cooler night as a result,

01:19but still mostly holding up at 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.

01:23Perhaps in northern Scotland with light winds, where we do see clear skies, we may see a touch of frost.

01:29On to Wednesday and it will broadly be a case of sunshine and showers,

01:33certainly for Northern Ireland initially and this line of showers could feed in,

01:37into northwest England and southwest Scotland for most of the day.

01:41But northern Scotland seeing some lengthy spells of sunshine, it should turn drier for Northern Ireland.

01:45And again for the Midlands, Wales, southern England, many places here won't see many showers during tomorrow.

01:51A decent chance of a dry day. The winds will be easing as well.

01:54Notice the wind starting to arch around a little bit like this.

01:56That's because there's a brief ridge of high pressure trying to move in.

02:00It won't do much for the temperatures though. Still single figures across the north,

02:04maybe a little cooler further south. Even with some sunshine, we could struggle to get up to 13 Celsius.

02:10But here's that little ridge I was talking about in the pressure pattern.

02:14Not going to last too long, but it will bring many places a fine end to Wednesday.

02:18For the west, however, we are keeping our eyes on this, a developing area of low pressure.

02:23Some question marks about how intense this low gets and indeed how far north or how far south it gets.

02:29So do keep up to date with the latest forecast.

02:32Alex Burkill has more on that low pressure in the week ahead forecast.
