00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:04Storm Isha bringing wet and windy weather to much of the U.K. through Sunday night and

00:08into Monday. This brought about by a very strong jet stream barrelling its way across

00:13the Atlantic, picking up Storm Isha over the past couple of days. Storm Isha then crosses

00:18the U.K., pushing away towards the north and the east through the early hours of Monday

00:21morning before we do see a very brief ridge of high pressure developing overnight and

00:26into the start of Tuesday. With Storm Isha, the Met Office have issued amber weather warnings

00:32due to the very strong winds we're going to see across the U.K., widely 50 to 60 miles

00:37an hour, perhaps as high as 80, maybe 90 across northern parts of Scotland, so a widely windy

00:42night with disruption likely. Back to Sunday afternoon though, and that heavy rain that

00:48we've seen already through the start of the day continues to push its way north and eastwards

00:52through this afternoon, turning particularly heavy over western parts of Wales, north-west

00:56England and across parts of Scotland too, where with some milder temperatures we could

01:00see some snow melting, which could exacerbate those flooding impacts across much of Scotland.

01:05A mild day though, widely across the U.K., maybe 12 or 13 degrees across the south, but

01:10with those strong southwesterly winds that'll take the edge off those temperatures. Rain

01:14continues to push its way north and eastwards later through Sunday, and that's when we see

01:18those winds really starting to pick up, widely 50 to 60 miles an hour across the U.K. and

01:24as previously mentioned, perhaps up to 90 miles an hour across parts of Scotland. The

01:28rain does eventually clear its way north and eastwards through the early hours of Monday

01:32morning, leaving some clearer spells, but still a milder night than we've seen over

01:35recent weeks, perhaps 6 or 7 degrees quite widely, maybe even 8 or 9 across the southeast.

01:41So Monday starts a very windy day, those winds will gradually start to ease a little through

01:46the morning, but it will still be a very blustery feeling day for most of us. Showers quite

01:50quickly pushing in from the west through the morning, these likely to turn quite heavy

01:54at times, particularly further north and west, and we could even see some snow across the

01:58hills of Scotland. There will still be some sunshine between those showers, particularly

02:02further south and the east, and those temperatures tomorrow likely to see around 10 or 11 degrees

02:08across the south, but with some strong northwesterly winds that'll take the edge off those temperatures.

02:14Through Monday evening, showers will gradually start to ease overnight and into the start

02:18of Tuesday, so perhaps a bit of a drier start to the day, although we could still see a

02:22bit of snow across the very far north of Scotland. So a brighter start to Tuesday, but it doesn't

02:26last long as the next system awaits in the wings through Tuesday, so find out more about

02:31that on our social media channels, and don't forget to subscribe to YouTube to never miss

02:35a weather update. Bye bye.
