00:00Hello, welcome to your Tuesday evening weather update from the Met Office. Now

00:04through tonight and into tomorrow a lot of cloud, rain or showers and rather

00:08breezy, all courtesy of an area of low pressure which is anchored across

00:12Iceland delivering these fronts and the winds will turn a bit stronger behind

00:17this cold front as it slides down towards the southeast on Wednesday. So

00:21pretty much everywhere we'll see some wet weather, however through Tuesday

00:24evening a slither of brightness anywhere from West Country, the Midlands, Central

00:28Southern England, southern parts of Wales. At the same time that cloud and

00:31rain rolls in, the winds pick up across Western Scotland and this rain could be

00:36persistent and heavy at times particularly across more northern and

00:39western areas but by the end of the night notice some showery birds will

00:43have reached Central Southern England. We'll see some dry skies across Wales

00:46and the West Country, just a few drifting showers here so a better start

00:49to the day. Elsewhere there's a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain, temperatures

00:54holding up overnight 12 to 14 degrees Celsius. So through Wednesday morning

00:58we'll see this rain, particularly across England and Wales, tending to clear

01:02towards the North Sea. The cloud will break then across these southern and

01:06central parts, still a few showers in the mix and this is the trailing cold front

01:09bringing cloud, outbreaks of rain, low cloud at that which will shroud the

01:13mountains of Scotland, the Cumbrian fells down towards the Welsh mountains and the

01:18moors of the West Country. Behind it we'll see sunshine and showers, blustery

01:22showers at that as temperatures rise down 16, 17 degrees Celsius, 17 or 18

01:27across England and Wales, perhaps a 20 towards London. So that's the picture on

01:32Wednesday afternoon. Through Wednesday evening, rash of showers across Scotland

01:37coming in across Northern Ireland, a few running towards the northwest of

01:41England, clipping the far north of Wales but some clearer skies here, some drier

01:45weather as we head into Thursday. But these showers will become quite blustery

01:51through into Thursday morning as that wind picks up some strength with some

01:55strong gusts through the first part of the day. Showers also could be heavy with

01:59the risk of thunder. So a bit of a squeeze on the isobars on Thursday, low

02:03pressure sits towards the north and you can see here it's going to be breezy

02:06further south as well. Then notice waiting in the wings, this system here

02:10will bring cloud and also outbreaks of rain to southern and central parts of

02:14England and Wales through Friday as the winds ease towards the north but also

02:18with some showers. So here's your outlook through Thursday, scattered

02:22showers across the north, elsewhere a mix of cloud and sunshine and in the

02:26sunshine temperatures reaching around 21 degrees Celsius. I'll see you later.
