00:00Hello there, good afternoon. We've seen a bright start to the week for many areas of

00:04the UK and we'll see some more of that sunshine through the rest of this afternoon. However,

00:08there is some wet weather around. The rain will just be clearing the far south-east of

00:12Kent over the next few hours. We could see the odd light shower across central areas

00:17of England, but I think most areas will stay dry and there will be some fairly long-lived

00:22sunshine. The best of the sunshine is going to be across parts of Northern Ireland, Western

00:26Scotland as well as parts of Western Wales and the south coast of Devon and Cornwall.

00:30That's where we're more sheltered from this north-easterly breeze. So in that sunshine

00:34it will be feeling fairly pleasant in the west. However, in the east, exposed to that

00:38breeze, it's going to be feeling much colder than the temperatures will suggest. So these

00:42are the feels like temperatures. So we'll be feeling much closer to 2 or 3 degrees across

00:47that east coast and we will see some gusty winds still continuing through the English

00:52Channel through the rest of the afternoon. The winds will ease through this evening and

00:56that will allow a frosty night tonight for many areas, particularly across parts of Scotland

01:00through the first part of the evening and then that frost will become a greater risk

01:05across parts of Wales and into southern areas of England too. We'll also see some mist and

01:09fog developing across the far south-east so it could be a bit of a murky start for these

01:14areas tomorrow morning. Across the north and west, it will still feel quite cold tomorrow

01:19morning but the frost will be limited because we'll see some wet weather arriving. This

01:24band of quite blustery rain will push eastwards through the day on Tuesday. So quite an unpleasant

01:30driving spell across the far north-west of Scotland first thing tomorrow and that wet

01:35weather will push into southern areas of Scotland, northern England and into western areas of

01:39Wales by lunchtime or early afternoon. Behind it though, it should brighten up to end the

01:43day across Northern Ireland and much of Scotland but we will see some quite blustery showers

01:47pushing in from the north and west. And ahead of this band of rain across the south and

01:51east should stay dry through much of the day but it will be a much cloudier day than today

01:56and because we could get off to quite a murky start, it will probably feel quite cold through

02:00much of the day with highs of around 6 or 7 degrees. That band of rain pushes south-eastwards

02:06through Tuesday night and behind it, we see some fine weather for the start of Wednesday

02:10before some rain arrives into the north-west on Wednesday but that will bring some milder

02:15air to end the week. See you later.
