00:00Hello again, very good evening to you. It is going to be a showery day on Tuesday, but
00:05before then, there is a lot of cloud and a lot of rain around for many of us overnight.
00:10Because of this frontal system that is gradually making its way southeastwards. It's already
00:14brought quite a bit of rain to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Western England and Wales
00:18and all that cloud and that rain is feeding its way further east and southeastwards, eventually
00:23reaching the southeast through the early hours of Tuesday morning. Behind it, yes, there
00:27are some clear spells around, but also a bit of cloud at times and also some showery bursts
00:32of rain, especially across parts of Scotland and temperatures aren't going to drop a huge
00:37amount. Many places staying well into double figures. In fact, in parts of the southeast
00:42where we have that cloud, that front lingering, it's going to be another warm night. Temperatures
00:46in some places only falling to around 17 or 18 Celsius. Because of that front in the southeast,
00:52a bit of a grey damp start could be some rain through the morning for a time, but it does
00:55clear away. And then we do have some bright sunny spells following in, but also plenty
01:00of showers, especially towards the north northwest of Scotland, Northern Ireland, seeing lots
01:05of showers feeding in and those showers could be quite heavy for some of us. And there will
01:09be some blustery, gusty winds, particularly towards those coastal areas in the west where
01:14there is the risk of some gales. Perhaps fewer showers further south for more central southern
01:19parts of England and Wales, but even a few showers are possible here. Those blustery
01:24winds will make it feel a little bit cool, perhaps a bit cooler than these temperatures
01:28suggest for some of us. Generally, we're looking at temperatures peaking in the mid to high
01:32teens towards the north and west and low to mid 20s towards the southeast. So not as warm
01:38as on Monday, but nonetheless not feeling too bad in the sunshine and out of those brisk
01:43winds. More showers to come as we go through Tuesday evening could be some heavy, intense
01:47ones for a time, but overnight we should start to see those showers easing for many places.
01:52That being said, there will still be some showers continuing around western parts of
01:56Scotland, Northern Ireland, a few around the coast of England and Wales towards the west,
02:00perhaps a few more for some parts of northern England, but many turning largely dry with
02:05some clear skies. And as a result, the temperatures are going to drop a little bit lower than
02:10through Monday night in rural spots away from the towns and cities likely to just about
02:14dip into single digits for some places. So Wednesday gets off to a bright and dry start
02:20for many, but yes, some showers around in a few places. Later on, though, it is going
02:24to turn cloudier with some rain then feeding into the northwest, heavy rain then spilling
02:29across parts of Northern Ireland and much of Scotland too. And this rain is likely to
02:33be pretty intense and quite impactful for some of us. Nonetheless, it is still going
02:38to be quite warm towards the southeast. Temperatures may be generally a bit disappointing for the
02:43time of year if it's warmth you're after just about getting into the low 20s towards the
02:47southeast and fresher than this further north and west. And with the wind, the rain, it
02:51is going to feel pretty unpleasant at times. Like I said, that rain is going to be heavy
02:56and we do have a warning out which runs through much of Wednesday and into Thursday because
03:01rainfall totals are going to build up. We're looking at the potential for some places,
03:05the higher ground towards the west of Scotland, seeing around, if not a little bit more than
03:09150 millimetres. So some disruption is likely. There could be some travel disruption, spray
03:15on the roads, also a bit of flooding in places. All of this wet and windy weather is the results
03:21of the remnants of what was Hurricane Ernesto, the other side of the Atlantic. It does continue,
03:27like I said, as we go into Thursday, particularly towards the northwest of the UK before eventually
03:31sweeping through towards the southeast. But by the time it reaches southeastern parts,
03:35it will be a bit lighter. Another system then comes through as we go on Friday, bringing
03:39some more wet and windy weather for a time. But that doesn't look as intense as what we
03:43can expect through Wednesday and Thursday. If you want more information about this, do
03:48make sure you head to our YouTube channel as Aidan will have a more in-depth update
03:52on the weather we can expect this week. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
