00:00Hello there. Another cool, cloudy and wet day for many of us today as weather systems

00:05move in and push eastwards across the country. Looking at the bigger picture, low pressure

00:10in charge at the moment, tightly packed isobars indicating fairly strong winds. But as we

00:15move into Bank Holiday Monday, we see a ridge of high pressure pushing in ahead of further

00:20wet and windy weather across northern and western areas greeting us for Tuesday.

00:26The rest of Sunday, outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland, much of Scotland, Northern

00:30England. This will be heavy at times, particularly over western hills, accompanied by some strong

00:35and gusty winds, gales possible around some western coasts. Further south, generally cloudier

00:40across England and Wales, with a few showery outbreaks of rain across the Midlands, Wales,

00:45the West Country. Best of the drier, brighter weather across south-east England, some sunny

00:50spells here, but also staying on the breezy side. It will be a cool day under the cloud

00:55and rain, temperatures struggling around 14-16C, so with the strength of the wind feeling

01:02quite chilly here, you may need an extra layer. Whilst further south, temperatures also a

01:06little disappointing, around 20-21C, quite similar to what we saw on Saturday. Through

01:13into the evening time, further showery rain across Northern Ireland. Southern Scotland

01:17could be heavy at times, some local disruption possible. This weather front just continues

01:21to feed in showers through the night across this part. Further north across Scotland,

01:25clear spells, but scattered showers across the Highlands and Islands. The rest of England

01:29and Wales also seeing the risk of a few showers, but clear spells. The wind's falling a little

01:34lighter and temperatures also a little higher compared to recent nights, generally 12-14C

01:41under the clearest skies, north-east Scotland dipping into single figures. You can see this

01:45weather front Monday morning across northern England, southern Scotland, into Northern

01:49Ireland, giving thicker cloud, showery rain, which may extend into northern parts of Wales

01:53at times. Either side of this, generally drier and brighter, though cloud will become

01:59more prevalent as we move through into the afternoon. One or two showers are possible,

02:03but generally overall, Monday, which is Bank Holiday for the vast majority of the UK, will

02:08be dry and bright and there'll be some sunny spells and the wind's also falling much lighter

02:13compared to Sunday and temperatures just lifting a little higher as a result. High teens to

02:19low 20s, highs around 23C towards the south-east, so when the sun comes out, it will feel warmer.

02:26Into the evening time, though, the next weather system starts to approach, thickening cloud,

02:30outbreaks of rain, strengthening winds across Northern Ireland, western Scotland to end

02:35of the day on Monday. Elsewhere, generally dry, but the wind's picking up across western

02:39coasts of England and Wales. Thereafter, it stays fairly unsettled across the north and

02:44the west of the UK, but temperatures rising, particularly by midweek across the east and

02:48south-east, approaching 29, possibly 30C. See you again soon.
