00:00Hi there, very mixed conditions across the UK for the rest of Tuesday, a stark contrast

00:04for eastern parts compared with Monday's sunny and warm weather as this cold front moves

00:10in. That's bringing out breaks of rain, a lot of cloud and much cooler conditions. Although

00:15a little slice of warmth remains for the far north of Scotland and for the south west we've

00:21got low pressure close by but we've also got brighter skies because the front has moved

00:25through. So for Northern Ireland, Wales and the south west generally a day of sunny spells

00:30and showers and those showers will be quite heavy at times where they occur, they'll be

00:34accompanied by a gusty wind particularly towards the south west but in any sunny a spell's

00:39not feeling too unpleasant compared with Monday afternoon. Meanwhile here's the cloud and

00:44rain associated with the weather front, central and western Scotland into the south of Scotland,

00:49parts of northern and eastern England seeing outbreaks of rain on and off through the day,

00:53a lot more cloud compared with Monday and as a result it's going to feel significantly

00:57cooler with temperatures of 13 to 17 Celsius, a bit warmer towards the south west compared

01:03with Monday with temperatures up to 18 or 19 degrees. But the warm spot there, northern

01:08Scotland somewhere out of the wind will potentially reach 20 to 23 Celsius. Shetland and Orkney

01:16obviously a bit cooler but still plenty of sunny skies here. Then as we go into the evening

01:22some rain will reach the north of Scotland but otherwise a lot of the rain across northern

01:27and eastern parts will tend to fizzle away for a few hours at least overnight before

01:31another pulse of activity emerges from the continent. Towards the west we've got clear

01:36spells and showers, most of the showers affecting Cornwall and parts of Devon otherwise turning

01:40drier through the hours of darkness and with some clear spells and light winds for the

01:45likes of Northern Ireland, south west Scotland it will be relatively fresh as we start off

01:49Wednesday in some shelter spots, temperatures of 6 to 8 Celsius. Otherwise double figures

01:54under any cloud cover and it's going to turn increasingly damp once again across eastern

01:59England through into the northern part of England there and perhaps southern Scotland

02:04seeing some cloud and a few spots of light rain, one or two showers for Northern Ireland

02:08as well. But most of the showers will be across the far south west as well as southern Scotland,

02:15northern and eastern England with plenty of dry and fine weather away from these areas

02:22and in any sunshine with I think slightly lighter winds temperatures will be fairly

02:27respectable for the time of year 20-22 Celsius. Northern Scotland potential for up to 24-25

02:34Celsius in some of the favoured spots. Now just to give you an idea of where the rain

02:39will be distributed through Wednesday this is the rainfall totals from 6am to 6pm and

02:44it shows that some areas will get rather a lot, especially East Anglia, Lincolnshire

02:49through into Yorkshire for example. Showery rain elsewhere, Northern Ireland for example

02:53central southern Scotland into the Midlands, speckled nature there as well as parts of

02:58the south west but mostly northern parts of Devon and Cornwall and Somerset. Otherwise

03:02the white areas show where not much rain is expected if any at all so actually some decent

03:09sunny spells and some warmth in that sunshine as well later on Wednesday. There will be

03:14some low cloud though affecting eastern and north eastern parts of England, south east

03:19Scotland at times. That's going to make it feel on the cool side along with that onshore

03:24breeze. So very mixed conditions over the next few days but essentially for many it's

03:28a tale of sunny spells and showers and we'll keep you updated right here at the Met Office.

03:33Bye bye.
