00:00It's a higgledy-piggledy mishmash kind of a weather day out there, torrential downpours

00:05in some locations, warm and humid conditions in others. This is the view from space. Huge

00:11area of clear skies out in the Atlantic, thanks to an area of high pressure here. But we've

00:16got low pressure and a real mess of weather fronts. All of it drifting up from the south,

00:22which is why we've got relatively warm and humid air across the UK, which is helping

00:26to generate some big thundery showers, north-east Scotland in particular, but also parts of

00:31the Midlands and central and eastern parts of Wales, and staying pretty soggy across

00:36western Scotland, north-west England too. There is a Met Office thunderstorm warning

00:40in place. Quite a broad area. Not everywhere in that warning area is going to catch a thunderstorm.

00:46As always, they are going to be hit and miss. But where they do occur, they are likely to

00:49cause some disruption. Much of the east Midlands and eastern England in general staying dry

00:55and brightening up here with some pretty warm sunshine. Temperatures getting up to

00:5923, 24, maybe 25, 26 in one or two places, feeling quite humid. Obviously, it's cooler

01:04further west where we've got more cloud, particularly with that persistent rain across parts of

01:08western Scotland. So, as I said, a real mishmash and continued threat of thundery showers into

01:15this evening. So, just pause it there for the evening rush hour. So, parts of east Wales,

01:20the west Midlands up towards north-west England. We could see some thundery downpours here.

01:24So, parts of the M6. Not very pleasant. A lot of spray and surface water on the roads

01:29and a continued threat of heavy downpours also across northeast Scotland well into the

01:33evening. The warning runs until midnight tonight. But gradually through the evening, the risk

01:40of thundery showers drifts across northern England. But they should be fading by this

01:44stage. Many places will become dry through the night. Staying pretty cloudy across England

01:49and Wales. Staying pretty warm and humid too across these eastern parts. But further west

01:54fresher air is on the way. So, we'll be down to single figures across northern Ireland,

01:58parts of western Scotland as well in rural spots down into single digits. On to Tuesday

02:05and it's still a mix of sunshine and showers, but generally a brighter day for Wales, southwest

02:10England, certainly a much drier and sunnier day for eastern parts of Scotland compared

02:15to today. Western Scotland will see cloud and some showery rain along with northern

02:19Ireland. There is still the potential for some heavy slow-moving showers over the Midlands

02:24East Anglia and the southeast. Again, hit and miss, but some places could catch a downpour

02:28here. And we're holding on to the warm and humid conditions here, but not as warm as

02:33today. We could still get to 22, maybe 23. But for most places, temperatures dipping

02:38off a fresher feel, much less humid for most during the course of tomorrow. And not a great

02:44little change through the evening. The heavy showers still potentially across the extreme

02:48southeast. A few more showers coming into Scotland and northern Ireland during Tuesday

02:54evening as things turn fresher as we head into Wednesday. What about the rest of the

02:59week? Well, to say the least, it's complicated. Aidan will have more on that. A full week

03:05ahead forecast. That will be available on our YouTube channel by Monday afternoon. So
