00:00Hi there. It may have taken until mid-September, but higher pressure is here and it's here

00:06to stay for more than a couple of days, leading to widely settled and, for many, sunny skies.

00:13One exception overnight will be across the north and north-west of Scotland, where the

00:17cloud will thicken, it will lower, it will be gloomy, fairly misty and some patchy rain

00:22and drizzle will turn up across Skye, Lewis, Harris and later on Shetland. It will turn

00:28breezy here as well, so of course that's going to keep the temperatures from falling

00:31too far. A mild night in the far north-west, a much colder night further south, where towns

00:37and cities, eight or nine Celsius under clear skies, but in some sheltered rural spots as

00:42low as two to four Celsius and cold enough in one or two locations for a mist or fog

00:48patch. But they won't last long. Under higher pressure, the mist and fog will clear through

00:53the morning and we'll see another largely sunny day up and down the country. But once

00:58again, this front just dangling into the north and north-west of Scotland will bring that

01:03thicker cloud first thing and some light outbreaks of rain and drizzle. However, through the

01:08day, around that area of high pressure, the winds will push the cloud out of the way and

01:15we'll see warmer and brighter weather spread north across much of Scotland. So, by the

01:20afternoon, as you can see, most of the UK seeing cloud-free skies. Yeah, there'll be

01:25some patchy cloud coming into the east coast there and there'll still be some lingering

01:28cloud in the far north. But in between, warm, sunny spells, temperatures typically reaching

01:3419 to 22 Celsius, could get as high as the mid-20s somewhere in the north-east of Scotland

01:41as the wind warms up and dries out over the hills to the south. Then the cloud continues

01:47to thin in the far north, pushed away by the winds coming in from the south and south-east.

01:53But at the other end of the country, there will be some cloud arriving from the North

01:57Sea into the east of England and then through the night, parts of the Midlands, perhaps

02:00East Wales as well. Ahead of that, a few mist and fog patches once again in the north and

02:05west under clear skies and it will be in the north and west where we see the lowest temperatures.

02:11Most places, 9 to 12 Celsius. But in some sheltered and particularly low-lying spots,

02:17we'll see the low to mid-single figures. Actually, it's over hills and mountains where we'll

02:23see higher temperatures because there'll be an inversion where the temperature tends to

02:27rise instead of fall as you go higher up in the sky. That's typical under an area of higher

02:32pressure and it's higher pressure in place as we start off Wednesday. Yeah, there'll

02:38be some cloud around, especially through the Midlands and eastern parts of England.

02:41Much of that will thin and retreat back to the North Sea coast through the day. And then

02:46beautiful sunny skies for the vast majority and a stark contrast for the far north of

02:52Scotland where it will be blue skies rather than grey on Wednesday. As a result, a warmer

02:56day to come for many, temperatures up into the low 20s widely and again, mid-20s possible

03:02in some favoured locations. Into the rest of the week on Thursday and into Friday, we

03:08keep higher pressure nearby but increasingly on Friday and the weekend, chances of some

03:13showers developing.
