00:00Hello there, welcome to our latest weather update from the Met. For most of us it's been

00:04a mild weekend and that mild theme will continue as we go into the new working week.

00:09So as we end this weekend, for many parts of England and Wales it's largely dry with

00:14some clear spells. That will allow some mist and fog to form, but then this next area of

00:19cloud and rain just approaches from the west. By the end of the night that would have cleared

00:23Northern Ireland, so something a bit drier and clearer for here. But for all of us it's

00:28going to be a mild night, temperatures not falling much lower than 5 to 7 degrees.

00:33So we will start the day with some sunshine across parts of East Anglia, the Midlands,

00:37Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, but the cloud further west will spread its way that little

00:41bit further eastwards as the day goes on. Any rain really weakening, so by the time

00:45it gets to East Anglia I think very little rain left on it. That then opens up a window

00:50or something a bit drier and brighter for many parts, some good amounts of sunshine

00:54around lunchtime. But then as we go into the afternoon that really focuses down towards

00:59eastern parts of the country where further west we start to see thickening cloud and

01:03outbreaks of rain arriving. So come the middle of the afternoon turning very wet for parts

01:07of Northern Ireland. But for all of us it is going to be a mild day, temperatures widely

01:13into double figures potentially up to 16 or 17 degrees down towards the southeastern corner.

01:20So into the evening this band of rain continues its way north-east with some heavy rain for

01:24a time across parts of Scotland and Northern England. The rain band does take its time

01:29to get towards East Anglia and the south-east, so actually here probably remaining dry until

01:34after dawn. But elsewhere a rather cloudy and damp end to the night. But a mild one

01:40once again, we will see lows not much lower than around 10 to 11 degrees across the south.

01:46For all of us it's really going to be a bit of a grey start on Tuesday. Still see some

01:51rain spread its way eastwards across the country. But it does improve across parts of Northern

01:55Ireland and Scotland. A mixture of bright spells and scattered showers here come the

01:59afternoon. That will also transfer into Northern England come around 3 to 4 o'clock. Temperatures

02:06still above average for the time of year but a little bit lower than on Monday. But we

02:10could still see highs reaching around 15 or 16 degrees across the south-east and East

02:15Anglia. Then looking ahead for the rest of the week, for all of us it is going to remain

02:21changeable. We will see some drier and brighter moments but also some wetter periods too,

02:26especially come Tuesday night and into Wednesday. But all the time it's generally going to remain

02:31mild but there are hints that it could turn a little bit colder as we head towards the

02:35weekend. But you can find out more about that on our social media channels. But for now,

02:40take care and I'll see you again soon.
