00:00Hello, there. Settled start to the new working week, an interesting mid-part of the week

00:06with an increasing risk of some thunderstorms. So, the pressure pattern at the moment is

00:12high pressure just about holding on over the next few days. A weak weather front associated

00:17with this low pressure over Iceland will push its way south-eastwards through the course

00:22of the day, but weakening as it does so. And you can see high pressure generally dominates,

00:26but then towards the middle of the week, hot and humid air moves up from the south giving

00:31an increasing risk of some thunderstorms. For this morning, plenty of sunshine across

00:37England and Wales. Cloudy skies for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, but largely

00:41dry. And as we head through the day, we'll see plenty of sunshine for the vast majority

00:46of the U.K. It will be dry. You can see this weak weather front giving some outbreaks of

00:50rain for the Western Isles, coastal stretches of Scotland and perhaps parts of Northern

00:55Ireland later on. But it does turn increasingly cloudy here. Plenty of sunshine. Blue skies

01:00for much of the U.K. will help lift temperatures mid to high 20s, perhaps even around 30 degrees

01:06towards the London area. A little bit cooler around the coast if you do want to escape

01:11the higher temperatures. UV, though, is strong wherever you are. For much of the U.K., we're

01:16looking at high levels, very high across some southern parts of England. So, it is worth

01:22staying protected if you're out heading to the beach or outside for a prolonged period

01:27of time. Through this evening time, this weather front does push its way southeastwards, but

01:32weakens as it does so. Becomes an area of clouds, some light and patchy rain and drizzle

01:36over the highest ground as it pushes southwards. Either side of this, largely dry, plenty of

01:41clear spells, but temperatures holding up, starting to feel more muggy across southern

01:46parts of England and Wales, generally holding up in double figures across the board. So,

01:51sunny start for most on Tuesday morning. One or two showers, perhaps, affecting northwest

01:56Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some thicker cloud moving in here during the day, as well,

02:00stretching into southern Scotland. The cloud across northern England should break up and

02:05then plenty of sunny spells across England and Wales, parts of Scotland as well. Still

02:09a little breezy around the coasts here. And the sunshine strong once more, lifting the

02:14temperatures to around 30, 31 Celsius. A little more comfortable further north, around

02:2021 to 23 Celsius across parts of Scotland into northern parts of England as well. But

02:26plenty of sunshine. It will feel pleasant and a nice end to the day for many of us as

02:31well. Now, as we move through the middle part of the week, we see an increasing risk of

02:36thunderstorms developing, particularly across parts of England and Wales. There could be

02:41some local disruption from this, so it is worth staying up to date with the forecast.

02:46And then towards the end of the week, temperatures start to return a little nearer to average.
