00:00Good afternoon, well there's plenty of autumnal sunshine out there for most of

00:04us but it will be turning cloudier as we go through Sunday. So we've had higher

00:08pressure situated towards the east of the UK but low pressure out towards the

00:13west and we really hold on to this area of low pressure as we start the new

00:17working week bringing a case of sunny spells and also some scattered showers.

00:23But back to this afternoon and across England and Wales a fine afternoon to

00:27come with plenty of autumnal sunshine but a different story further towards

00:32the west. Across Northern Ireland cloudier conditions here with outbreaks

00:36of rain especially across western parts. We may see some sunshine just coming in

00:41towards the far southeast. Across Scotland a largely dry picture especially

00:45across central Scotland and towards the east but outbreaks of rain across the

00:50Western Isles and across the Northern Isles as well. Otherwise it should be

00:55feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine. We've got highs of 17 possibly even 18

00:59degrees and we may reach 16 or 17 degrees across parts of Scotland as well

01:04feeling more unpleasant underneath the cloud and rain further towards the west.

01:09But as we go through this evening our focus is towards the southwest of the UK

01:14where we've got heavy spells of rain pushing its way north and eastwards with

01:17some strong and gusty winds. As that does move its way north and eastwards though

01:22it will generally weaken and ease just to bring more patchy outbreaks of rain

01:27and drizzle. Towards the north we may see some clear skies and where you see the

01:32clear skies we may even get a glimpse of the northern lights if you're lucky

01:36tonight. But we have got a bit of a breeze out there coming up from the

01:40south so temperatures are just generally going to be holding up at around 10 or

01:4411 degrees so a milder start to the day as we start Sunday. But there's still a

01:51lot of cloud around with outbreaks of rain the best of the sunshine is going

01:55to be across at the parts of East Anglia but it will soon be replaced with a

01:59cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle so quite a murky afternoon to come for

02:04much of the UK. Further towards the west we also have a band of heavy possibly

02:10thundery rain affecting Northern Ireland parts of Wales and also towards the

02:15southeast. But temperatures are still going to be staying up at around 17 or

02:2018 degrees so similar to the values we'll see today but maybe just a bit of

02:25a different feel given the cloud and outbreaks of rain. So as we go through

02:30Sunday evening we may see some late evening sunshine across the far

02:33southwest but cloud and rain will continue to push its way further towards

02:37the north coming into parts of Scotland and then later into northern parts of

02:42England. Further towards the west we hold on to some clearer skies but also some

02:48showers and that sets the scene as we go through Monday and Tuesday with sunny

02:52spells and scattered showers. But for all of the latest details make sure to hit
