00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office, I'm Marco Britannia.
00:03The weather is starting to turn more unsettled across the UK now from the south. We're starting
00:07to see cloud increasing, especially across central and southern parts of England as we
00:10head through the evening, that cloud reaching parts of Wales and the north of England into
00:14the early hours of Sunday. Notice too a few showers breaking out into the early hours
00:17of Sunday, those turning locally heavy, potentially even thundery across the far south and south-east
00:22by Sunday morning itself. Whereas towards the north-west across much of Scotland and
00:26Northern Ireland, we hold on to some clear spells. One or two mist and fog patches forming
00:29a bit of patchy low cloud too by Sunday morning, and also turning a little bit chilly in several
00:33spots here by Sunday morning itself, because the temperature is down to mid to upper single
00:38figures. So I'd say for the time of year that is quite chilly. Whereas towards the south
00:41it's much milder, in fact quite warm and humid, with temperatures here holding up in the mid
00:45to upper teens Celsius. As for Sunday itself, with the showers across the far south, we'll
00:50start to develop elsewhere across parts of England, potentially eastern parts of Wales
00:54too as we go through the day. Initially across the far south, but developing across the Midlands,
00:58eastern parts of Wales, into the north of England as well as we go into the afternoon.
01:02Some of those showers are certainly heavy, as they could be thundery in nature, giving
01:05some flooding issues in places too. Towards the north and west of that, across much of
01:10Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the far west of England, here we'll see some bright
01:13spells at times, one or two lighter showers. And I think the far south-east after a showy
01:17start should start to see some sunshine breaking through too. Temperatures in the south-east
01:21are really shooting up into the low to mid, even locally upper twenties Celsius. Twenty-seven
01:26in London is eighty-one in Fahrenheit, and feeling quite humid here I think through the
01:30day. A little bit fresher towards the north and west, with temperatures here in the upper
01:33teens, locally low twenties Celsius across some western spots. As we head into the evening
01:38and through the overnight period on Sunday, the showers across England and eastern parts
01:42of Wales will migrate their way northwards, eventually reaching eastern parts of Scotland
01:46into the early hours of Monday. Whereas out towards the west and south-west, a band of
01:50more persistent showy rain working across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and the south-west
01:54of England. So it's the central slice there of the UK, holding on to some of the clearest
01:58spells there as we go into the early hours of Monday. Wherever you are, it's a pretty
02:01warm and quite humid night to come on Sunday night. Temperatures generally into the low
02:05to mid-teens, even upper teens towards the south-east, so quite uncomfortable for sleeping
02:09in places. Monday, unfortunately, will be a very unsettled day across the UK. Low pressure
02:14in charge, thundery showers out towards the east and north-east, giving way to this band
02:18of more persistent rain from the west. Again, some of the rain could be quite heavy in nature.
02:22Another humid fill across many areas, but starting to feel fresher out across parts
02:26of Northern Ireland and the far west of the UK as brighter skies move in later. Out towards
02:31the west, temperatures no better than 18 or 19 Celsius, which isn't too far from where
02:34they should be for the time of year. We still hold on to some warm conditions there across
02:38the east and south-east, with temperatures here 24 or 25 Celsius. 25 there in Norwich
02:43is 77 in Fahrenheit. That's pretty much it for me, but of course you can keep tuned to
