00:00Hello there, welcome to your latest Met Office forecast. It's been an unsettled start to

00:06the weekend outbreaks of heavy rain across central southern parts and it remains changeable

00:11right through the rest of the weekend and into Bank Holiday Monday for some of us as

00:15well with further showers and longer spells of rain quite breezy as well. But you can

00:20see some ridging of high pressure across England and Wales by Monday, some better weather to

00:26end the Bank Holiday weekend. But this morning it has been a wet picture across central southern

00:31parts of England, some bright echoes leading to some disruption on the roads first thing,

00:37but it is improving as we go through the afternoon. The rain is slowly starting to pull away from

00:43the south east but elsewhere a mixture of sunny spells and showers. Some of the showers

00:47will be heavy at times, quite frequent across parts of Northern Ireland, western parts of

00:52Scotland too. And a breezy day as well, particularly around the coast. It will feel quite cool

00:57for the time of year. Temperatures generally the mid to high teens feeling a little cooler

01:02with the brisk wind as well, highs around 19 or 20 Celsius. So a little below where

01:08they should be for the time of year. So if you're stuck under the cloud and the rain

01:11it will be disappointing for the afternoon. Into the evening and overnight further showers

01:16pushing in from the Atlantic, some clear spells in between, the driest weather across eastern

01:21parts of the UK. Cloud thickening by the end of the night across Northern Ireland with

01:25more persistent rain starting to move in here. Remaining quite breezy but fairly fresh air

01:30coming in off the Atlantic. So temperatures generally falling to around 9 to 11 Celsius

01:36for many of us. So quite a fresh start to Sunday. There will be plenty of sunny spells

01:40though across central and eastern areas. Showers from the word go in the west. And then thickening

01:45cloud as this next weather system moves in. We'll see rain across Northern Ireland spreading

01:49into parts of Scotland, Northern England, Wales, the Midlands, the West Country as well.

01:54Winds picking up further could be quite a blustery afternoon across central and northern

01:58parts of the UK. Drier across southern parts of England and southeast England compared

02:04to Saturday. Fairly cloudy and breezy and for all still another rather cool day. Temperatures

02:10mid to high teens perhaps a little higher in the southeast compared to Saturday. 19

02:14to 21 Celsius. And it stays fairly blustery into the evening as well as further outbreaks

02:22of rain push their way eastwards. Showers in the south as well. And then eventually

02:26the winds start to ease across southern parts as we head overnight into Monday. And as I

02:31mentioned there is an improvement for Monday across parts of England and Wales but staying

02:36quite unsettled across the north and the west. For more information on this you can follow
