00:00Hello there. Saturday has been quite chilly across much of the UK. Outbreaks of heavy

00:04rain particularly across the east and south-east of the UK. But that's clearing to blustery

00:09showers and it remains unsettled through the rest of the weekend. Further weather systems

00:13pushing through across northern parts of the UK on Sunday but improving as we go into Monday

00:19as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the south before further wet and windy weather

00:24moves in for later on in the day and into Tuesday across the north-west. Blustery end

00:29to Saturday. Showers across western areas, some of these heavy at times. But overnight

00:33we will see some clear spells developing particularly across central and eastern parts and then

00:37by the end of the night cloud thickening across Potsdam and Northern Ireland as further rain

00:42moves in here. The wind is coming in from the west but staying fairly brisk introducing

00:46some quite chilly air though. Temperatures even in towns and cities dropping into around

00:50about 9 or 10 Celsius. But there will be sunshine from the word go across central and eastern

00:55areas on Sunday morning. Clouding over though quite quickly across the west as rain moves

01:00in across Northern Ireland stretching into parts of Scotland, Northern England, Wales

01:05as we move through the day. Some of this rain will be heavy at times accompanied by some

01:09strong and gusty winds too. Windy across the rest of England and Wales but generally drier

01:15compared to Saturday. But still a lot of cloud around, some showers as well. Some sunny spells

01:20across the western and northern isles but even here a few showers are possible. And

01:25even though the wind is coming in from a southerly direction it will still be quite

01:28chilly 14 to 17 Celsius under the cloud and rain. The best of any brighter breaks edging

01:34towards 20 or 21 degrees. Through to the evening time on Sunday the outbreaks of rain across

01:40parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Northern England will continue to push their way eastwards

01:44breaking up into more showers as we head overnight into Monday. Elsewhere clear spells and showers

01:50and that will keep temperatures from falling too low again. Generally falling too low double

01:56figures to take us into Monday morning. And with that ridge of high pressure building

02:00in on Monday we should see generally a drier picture. You can still see a band of cloud

02:05and rain across Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland, Northern England but it should break

02:08up to the showers for the afternoon. But plenty of sunny spells developing across the rest

02:14of England and Wales. Northern Scotland also largely dry with sunny spells here and the

02:19winds generally lighter compared to the weekend. And that will just lift temperatures a little

02:24further with a bit more sunshine around 22, 23 Celsius. So just feeling a little warmer

02:29where the cloud stick is generally 17 to 19 Celsius further north. So a more settled start

02:37to the new working week as we go from Tuesday onwards and temperatures start to rise as

02:42well. Potentially we could see highs around the mid to locally high 20s for a short period

02:47of time before turning unsettled again. For more information on this you can follow us
