00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your morning weather from the Met Office. There's going to be a

00:05three-way split in the weather over the next 24 hours. Looking at the bigger picture, this

00:10area of low pressure bringing heavy rain to Wales and Northern England through the day.

00:15It slowly moves away into Tuesday and then we see an area of high pressure building in

00:19for a time before then further wet and windy weather comes into the north as we head into

00:24Wednesday. Met Office warnings already in place for the strong winds across northern

00:28parts of Scotland 70 to 80 miles an hour possible. So it is worth staying up to date with the

00:34forecast over the coming days. We can see the three-way split nicely on the chart for

00:38this morning. Outbreaks of heavy rain for parts of Wales into the Midlands, Northern

00:43England, and this will continue for much of the day. Perhaps some rain across south-western

00:47parts of England too. To the south-east of this, generally cloudy, a few glimmers of

00:52sunshine possible and then plenty of sunshine after a frosty start across parts of Northern

00:56Ireland and Scotland. Sunshine quite hazy across eastern areas and one or two showers

01:01for the western and northern isles. A split in the temperatures too in the sunshine, seven

01:06or eight degrees, feeling quite cold under the cloud and the rain. Cold enough for some

01:11wet hill snow over the highest ground across northern England too and then mild air to

01:16the south of this rain band in any glimmers of sunshine highs around 13 or 14 Celsius.

01:23Met Office warning remains in force through the evening and overnight into Tuesday mornings.

01:27This heavy rain continues to slowly push its way north-eastwards into the North Sea. Generally

01:32cloudy for much of England and Wales into the early hours. Clear skies once more for

01:37Northern Ireland and Scotland. So widespread frost developing here. One or two icy stretches

01:42are possible. Temperatures here dropping below freezing in the countryside under the cloud

01:46and the outbreaks of rain elsewhere well above freezing. So a great start across England

01:52and Wales. Outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, perhaps some surface spray on the roads from

01:56the overnight rain. This slowly starts to push its way eastwards, allowing a little

02:00bit of brightness to come into parts of Wales, south-west England, northern England later

02:04on. Northern Ireland and Scotland, after a sunny start, a little bit more cloud building

02:09through into the afternoon. A few showers across the highlands and islands but most

02:13places dry here. And temperatures overall a little lower, seven to nine Celsius for

02:18many, ten or eleven towards the south-east. But with the cloud cover, it will feel cooler

02:23than this. It then turns more unsettled once more as we head into Wednesday. As I mentioned,

02:28met obvious warnings in place for northern Scotland for those strong winds. So it is

02:32worth staying up to date with the latest forecast. See you again soon.
