Transcript

00:00Hello, welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office. As we move through the next

00:06few days, in fact, the rest of the week, low pressure dominates our weather story once

00:12again. Weather systems moving in from the Atlantic bringing some wet and windy weather

00:16at times and we are keeping a close eye on the end of the week as some deep area of low

00:21pressures cross close to the UK, if not over, bringing some wet and windy weather. So, it

00:26is worth staying up to date to the forecast as we continue through the week ahead. For

00:32the rest of the evening time, heavy showers across England and Wales start to ease, though

00:36they will continue across southern counties as we move into the early hours. This weather

00:41front continues to push into Scotland and gives further outbreaks of rain through the

00:47night here, some hill snow possible for a time as well. In between, some drier, clearer

00:53slots but overall, it generally stays cloudy tonight and temperatures, towns and cities

00:58falling to mid-single figures, perhaps a little lower in the countryside but generally for

01:03most a frost-free start to Tuesday morning. Rather cloudy too, any mist and fog patches

01:09through this central zone soon clearing away. And then generally, it's a bright morning

01:14but we will see some scattered showers developing, particularly later on and into the afternoon,

01:20some of these heavy at times. The weather front across Scotland remains in place, further

01:24outbreaks of rain here, quite a brisk normally breeze across the far north and then later

01:29on a weather system bringing cloud and rain across parts of the southwest. In the best

01:35of the sunshine, temperatures up to again the mid-teens, 15, 16 Celsius, so where we

01:39stay dry and we have light winds, it will feel quite pleasant but another cold day across

01:45Scotland in particular under that weather front, 7 or 8 degrees at the very best. As

01:51we move through into the evening time on Tuesday, this low-pressure system starts to move in,

01:56outbreaks of rain across southern parts of England and Wales spreading into the Midlands

02:01as we move into the early hours. The weather front across Scotland does start to weaken

02:06but it leaves a legacy of clouds, some drizzle there too. In between, perhaps a few clear

02:10spells Northern Ireland, Northern England and temperatures generally with a lot of cloud

02:14around holding up well above freezing, particularly in the south where the breeze starts to increase

02:20as well. Through on Wednesday, we see the area of low-pressure just slowly push its

02:25way north and eastwards, so everywhere seeing some rain for a time. Some of the rain could

02:30be heavy, particularly across eastern areas and then more persistent rain across Northern

02:34Ireland, Southern Scotland for the afternoon. Northern Scotland getting away with mostly

02:40dry conditions, some sunny spells here and a few sunny spells also moving in to southern

02:44parts of England later on too. Still breezy around the coasts, with a little bit more

02:49cloud around for most, it will be a cooler day but temperatures still cold across Scotland

02:55there, 6 or 7 degrees despite some sunnier spells as cold air remains in place. A few

03:01places could get to around 15 or 16 once more if we do see enough sunshine. Then later

03:06on in the day, the next weather system moves in for further wet and windy weather spreading

03:11through for Thursday, which continues into Friday and Saturday as well with the winds

03:16increasing too. So, if you'd like more information on the weather where you are, particularly

03:21towards the end of the week when it does turn increasingly unsettled, you can follow us
