00:00Good afternoon. There's a bit more cloud around today than yesterday. However, it

00:04should stay dry through much of the day for southeastern areas. Different story

00:08though for the north as we've got a weather front sinking southeastwards

00:12through today. Started in Northern Ireland and Scotland,

00:15it'll sink into parts of Northern England and Wales through the rest of

00:18the day. Once that rain does clear though for Northern Ireland and much of

00:21Scotland, it will turn brighter through this afternoon but there will be some

00:24blustery showers pushing in from the north and west. The most frequent

00:27across northwestern areas, eastern areas of Scotland, parts of the borders as well

00:31as eastern areas of Northern Ireland should stay largely dry this afternoon

00:34once this band of rain clears and there will be some sunshine later. However, it

00:39will cloud over for parts of Wales and the Midlands and there will be some

00:42drizzly rain to come. Different story though for the south and east as I said

00:46staying largely dry through the day but the cloud will thicken the further north

00:50you are in that area. Under the cloud though it's going to still feel fairly

00:54cold. Highs of only around 8 or 9 degrees. It's about average for the time of year

00:58but it is a little colder than we're used to. The cold feel will continue once

01:03again tonight. That drizzly rain will sink into the southeast as well later on

01:07but for many it will be a dry night where you can see quite extensive cloud

01:11developing. That's mist and fog and low cloud so it could be a bit of a murky

01:15start to the day on Wednesday morning. With a bit more cloud around it's not

01:19gonna be quite as cold. Frost will be limited but it will still feel fairly

01:22chilly and if we do see any holes in this cloud we could still see a frost

01:26developing quite easily. So a bit of a gloomy chilly start to the day on

01:31Wednesday but there will be some early sunshine particularly for eastern areas

01:35of the UK. However, further north and west it will turn quite much cloudier and

01:40wetter towards lunchtime as a band of quite persistent rain arrives into the

01:44west. It'll turn heavy for parts of the hills of Wales, the southwest as

01:49well as coastal areas for a time. Again it should stay largely dry across the

01:54southeast for much of the day. Everywhere though we'll see a southerly wind

01:58direction developing. They'll be dragging in milder air than today so it will be

02:02feeling milder despite more in the way of cloud and some more persistent rain.

02:07That mild theme will continue as well into Thursday before temperatures dip

02:11down again for a colder end to the week. You can find more details though on the

02:15Outlook by checking out our deep dive later on today. See you later.
