00:00Hello there, good evening. Welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office. There's

00:05been some heavy thundery showers across the U.K. today. But the good news is low pressure

00:10moves away over the next 24 hours and is replaced by high pressure, bringing plenty of dry and

00:17settled weather, though weather fronts will topple over the high at times, bringing the

00:21risk of thicker cloud outbreaks of rain to the northwest of the U.K. But for all, by

00:26the end of the week, temperatures starting to rise. The average temperature for this

00:30time of year should be between 14 and 17 Celsius across the country. As we move through this

00:35week, temperatures rising to the low 20s, perhaps even mid-20s, as we head into the

00:41coming weekend. So out there at the moment, there's still some heavy showers around. These

00:46will slowly ease away. And then overnight, it's largely dry across the country. Just

00:52a few showers possible in the thicker cloud through the spine of the country. Elsewhere,

00:58some mist and fog patches forming as skies clear. With light winds, we'll see temperatures

01:03dip away under the clear skies, around 7 or 8 degrees, but under the cloud holding up

01:08in double figures. So it's a messy start to Tuesday morning. Outbreaks of patchy light

01:14rain through the central part and northern part of the U.K. Elsewhere, mist and fog patches

01:19slowly clearing. And then a bright day, sunny spells. But just notice, again, quite a bit

01:24of cloud through central and northern areas, thick enough for a few spots of light rain

01:28and drizzle. And around some eastern coasts as well, some low cloud from the North Sea

01:33could lap onshore at times. In the best of the sunshine, towards central and southern

01:37parts of England and Wales, temperatures will rise here towards the high teens, low 20s.

01:43And that could just spark one or two heavy showers. But the vast majority of us will

01:47be dry, feeling a little cooler where we do keep some low cloud temperatures generally

01:51the mid to high teens for many of us. Through the evening time on Tuesday, any heavy showers

01:57across central and southern areas will fade away. Once more, with clearing skies and light

02:01winds, we'll see some mist and fog patches forming, low cloud moving in from the North

02:06Sea to affect eastern parts through the night. And then just by the end of the night, this

02:10weather front starting to introduce some thicker cloud and stronger winds across the very far

02:15north-west of the country. In terms of temperatures, mixed again under the clear spells, dipping

02:21into single figures around 9 or 10 Celsius under the cloud. So, a cloudy start across

02:29many parts on Wednesday morning. Mist and fog in places, murky, particularly in the

02:34east. But this lifts and breaks through the morning and that allows plenty of sunshine

02:38to develop. Hazy sunshine at times, particularly across northern and western parts. But most

02:43places will be dry. Best of the blue skies towards the south-east and here temperatures

02:48reaching around 19 or 20 Celsius. Perhaps again along eastern coasts, one or two spots

02:54holding back here the temperatures if we remain in the low cloud, murky conditions through

03:00the day. But I'm hopeful most coastal areas will brighten up. This weather front, close

03:04by across Norman Island, up into the highlands and islands could give some outbreaks of rain

03:09here at times. But the vast majority of us dry and temperatures at the high teens quite

03:14widely. Into the evening time, this weather system continues to push further eastwards

03:19across parts of Scotland. Then that high pressure builds further, temperatures rise and most

03:24of us have a dry week to come. See you again soon.
