00:00Hello there. Some of you will be planning an afternoon barbecue or heading to the seaside

00:05as there's plenty of sunshine across the UK. Lots of dry weather to have and that is thanks

00:11to an area of high pressure right across the UK at the moment giving light winds, plenty

00:15of sunshine. Weather fronts closer to the far north-west of the UK will give some thicker

00:19cloud at times, perhaps some patchy rain into Monday. But generally high pressure holding

00:24on and then something hotter moving up from the south as we head towards the middle of

00:29the week, the potential for some heavy showers and thunderstorms to develop across central

00:35southern parts of the UK, something to watch over the coming days. But for the here and

00:41now plenty of sunshine we can see on the satellite image across England and Wales, just a little

00:46bit more fair weather cloud across Northern Ireland and Scotland and dry across most areas.

00:52For the rest of the afternoon a bit of cumulus cloud bubbling up across England and Wales

00:57but plenty of long sunny spells to come perhaps across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland,

01:02a little thicker cloud, sunshine a little bit more limited across Cape Neff and Sutherland

01:07and the Northern Isles for a time. But overall most places dry and UV levels rising as well.

01:14So temperatures we're looking at 25 to 26 Celsius in the best of the sunshine. Around

01:19the coast a little bit cooler, 21 to 23 and across far north of Scotland here 16 to 18

01:26Celsius. But as I mentioned UV levels, we're looking at high levels across much of the

01:30UK reaching around 7. So if you are outside for the rest of the day around the coasts

01:36and land areas to make sure you put on your sun cream and stay protected. Through the

01:41evening time we'll see fine into the day for many. So if you are enjoying the late evening

01:47it will stay quite warm. Thicker cloud overnight moves in across parts of Northern Ireland

01:51and Scotland. Perhaps just one or two splashes of light rain possible within this cloud.

01:57But again overnight most places dry and clear. Few shallow mist and fog patches possible

02:02just like last night across parts of England and Wales. Temperatures generally holding

02:06up in double figures to start Monday morning. Perhaps a little fresher in the countryside

02:12but England and Wales plenty of blue skies to start the day. Just a little bit more hazy

02:17sunshine across Northern Ireland and Scotland. The weak weather front just starts to move

02:20in across the Western Isles to give some outbreaks of rain later on moving towards the Highlands

02:25as well. Perhaps an afternoon shower just starting to develop across parts of North

02:30Wales across into Northern England. But few and far between. Plenty of sunshine for most

02:36and temperatures rising further with light winds we could see locally the high 20s. Close

02:42to 30 Celsius across South East England. Again UV levels high across most areas. Temperatures

02:48across Northern Ireland and Scotland reaching the low 20s in the sunnier spells. So we head

02:54through the evening time on Monday. This weak weather front gives some patchy rain across

02:58parts of Northern and Western Scotland. Northern Ireland too to end the day. Elsewhere plenty

03:04of dry weather to end Monday. The outlook is for its turn a bit more unsettled as we

03:10head towards the middle of the week. Potential for some heavy showers and thunderstorms.

03:15The forecast is a little uncertain at this stage with the details. So do stay tuned.
