00:00Hello and a very good evening to you. Plenty of fine weather around tonight with some hazy
00:05evening sunshine. But as we head into next week, it will be all changed. We do have two
00:10low pressure systems waiting out in the west and they'll be slowly arriving as we head
00:14in towards Monday morning and then spreading further east as we head through the rest of
00:19the day. Do notice there is a particular squeeze on those isobars, particularly through the
00:24Irish Sea, and it will be pretty gusty and breezy here with some gales on Monday. But
00:29back to this evening, there will be some cloud around, but plenty of hazy evening sunshine
00:33as well. And we do start to see that cloud thickening from the west, rain becoming more
00:37persistent across northwest of Scotland. And it will be quite a cloudy end to the night
00:42for Northern Ireland, with some drizzly showers moving into the southwest of England and parts
00:46of Wales, but largely dry and clear across the far east of the country. Temperatures
00:52here are likely to be still quite cool and fresh, perhaps into the single figures in
00:56a few rural spots further east. So a cool and fresh start to the day if you are in the
01:02east of the country. Very much a different picture the further west. We do still have
01:06cloud thickening from the west, that rain turning particularly heavy through the late
01:10morning across Northern Ireland and into the afternoon as well. We have a yellow rain warning
01:15out for parts of southwest Scotland. And with that strong southerly wind coming up through
01:20the Irish Sea with gales, there is a good chance we're going to see some difficult driving
01:24conditions, lots of spray on the road as well. So do take care as you're driving or
01:28travelling through the late afternoon and early evening. Temperatures underneath that
01:33cloud and with that rain are going to be at the best into the mid or high teens underneath
01:39that cloud and rain. Feeling quite cool here. But the further east that we go, we do still
01:43have quite a warm and humid feed of air coming into the southeast of England and 25 or maybe
01:4826 is not out of the question here. So still a fairly warm day for the far southeast,
01:54after that cloud and rain slowly and surely sweeping its way eastwards as we head through
01:58Monday night. So a pretty damp night overall for much of the country. Clear spells and
02:03blustery showers do start to move their way in and we do see temperatures again much milder
02:09across the southeast and back into the mid teens with that strong wind. So not quite
02:13as cool and as chilly as we have seen recently. And then through the rest of Tuesday, some
02:18of that more persistent rain across the southeast and also the northeast of Scotland, taking
02:22a bit of time to clear through the morning. Elsewhere, it'll be bright spells and heavy
02:26blustery showers, particularly for parts of England. As we head into the afternoon, Northern
02:31Ireland and the northwest of Scotland, seeing particularly frequent heavy showers as well.
02:37Very strong winds across the far northwest of Scotland and with temperatures at best
02:40in the mid teens, it's going to be still feeling pretty chilly here as well. Further south
02:45is still a fairly brisk westerly wind and in the far southeast, those temperatures still
02:49could get up to 23, 24. So out of the wind and in some sunshine, maybe still feeling
02:55quite pleasant here too. Those showers will continue as we head through this evening and
03:00it will be turning fairly unsettled to finish the week as well. If you want to check out
