00:00Hello. The weather remains pretty mixed across the UK through this week. There

00:04will be some warm sunshine but there will also be further spells of rain. For

00:09many though this afternoon looking largely dry. We started off with some

00:12heavy showers over East Anglia and the southeast. You can see them there on the

00:15radar and the rain is persisting over parts of eastern Scotland and notice

00:18approaching cloud and rain down to the southwest. That is going to turn things

00:22down because Devon and Cornwall, parts of Somerset this afternoon and eventually

00:26that rain is creeping into southern most parts of Wales. A few scattered

00:30showers across England and Wales elsewhere, maybe Northern Ireland,

00:33southern Scotland but many places dry. The main other exception will be the

00:37northeast of Scotland where it does stay dull and damp as a cold and brisk wind

00:41blowing over the Northern Isles. Temperatures here struggling somewhat

00:45six, seven degrees at best with the rain across eastern Scotland certainly eight

00:50or nine Celsius here. But elsewhere with a bit of brightness we should creep into

00:54the mid-teens 14, 15 degrees with some sunny spells over parts of the Midlands

00:58and East Anglia. The breeze picking up in the southwest as the rain moves in

01:03here that will spread the rain further north across most of Wales, the Midlands

01:07into northern England through the nights. Most of us seeing some rain through the

01:11night could be some heavier bursts for parts of Northern Ireland as well. With

01:15all the clouds and the breeze and the outbreaks of rain it should keep the

01:19temperatures up nine, ten degrees the low in the south a little cooler further

01:23north. Still the air cold enough here for some of that rain to be falling as

01:27snow over the hills and that will continue into Wednesday morning. Some of

01:31the higher routes could be affected by a little bit of that snow for a time. A wet

01:34start for Northern Ireland, much of southern and central Scotland and

01:37northern England. Parts of eastern England too waking up to rain but it

01:41should tend to scoot away from here. A sprinkling of showers in the south but

01:46many areas here also dry and fine with some decent spirals of sunshine before

01:50more rain comes into the southwest late in the day. A fairly brisk wind bringing

01:54that rain into parts of the east. That's going to feel cold coming in from the

01:58North Sea. Parts of the northwest of Scotland mostly dry and bright but still

02:02here too. A pretty chilly wind blowing and temperatures only in single figures.

02:06Those single digits with that persistent rain over the far northeast of England

02:10southeast Scotland that will feel pretty chilly for April. Whereas for the south

02:14our skies bright and 15, 16 degrees. Perhaps even 17 in one or two spots should feel

02:20pleasant in the sunny spirals. As we go through Wednesday evening not a great deal of

02:24change. We continue to feed some rain into parts of eastern Scotland. Further

02:28band of showery rain works its way up from the south. Something a little bit

02:31drier in between and we will continue with this fairly mixed picture even into

02:35the weekend with further spirals of rain but when the sun's out feeling

02:38pleasantly warm. You can catch more details if you subscribe to our YouTube
