00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest forecast from the Met Office. A north-west-south-east

00:05split developing with our weather over the next 24 hours. Low pressure moving in from

00:10the Atlantic bringing wet and windy weather to northern and western areas. However, high

00:14pressure keeps those weather systems at bay across the south-east and at the same time

00:19will start to import some higher temperatures here, possibly 28, 29 Celsius across the south-east

00:25by Wednesday. Cloud thickening and outbreaks of rain moving

00:29in through Monday evening across Northern Ireland stretching across much of Scotland

00:33as we head into the early hours. The rain turning increasingly heavy with a Met Office

00:38warning across south-west Scotland coming into force by the end of the night. Some heavy

00:43downbursts developing, some strong and gusty winds could lead to some disruption to travel

00:48first thing on Tuesday morning. Generally staying drier the further south and east you

00:52are with light winds across England and Wales. We may see a few shallow mist and fog patches.

00:58Generally staying in double figures due to the southerly air flow.

01:02So a wet start to the day across Northern Ireland, Scotland. Some heavy bursts of rain.

01:06This transferring north and eastwards. Some travel disruption possible. The Met Office

01:10warning staying out for much of the day across south-west Scotland. Heavy rain across Cumbria

01:15as well. Some tricky travelling conditions and disruption possible here. The weather

01:19front just pushes a little further south-eastwards during the day affecting parts of Wales, the

01:23west country. Some patchy rain in places. Brighter skies behind this. Northern Ireland,

01:29northern and western Scotland seeing some sunny spells and scattered showers. Staying

01:32quite breezy here too. Best of the sunshine across south-east England. Turning increasingly

01:37hazy though as that weather system nears and temperatures rising in the sunshine around

01:4225 possibly 26 Celsius. Warm and humid under the cloud and rain around 19 to 23 degrees.

01:48Fresh air behind the frontal system with sunny spells and showers across the north-west.

01:54Into the evening time this system starts to slow down. It meanders across central western

01:59parts of England and Wales through the day on Wednesday. Some outbreaks of rain possible

02:05at times but tending to ease. Either side of this drier weather with showers across

02:10Northern Ireland and Scotland. Clear spells across the south-east and the warm air holding

02:16on here. 15-16 Celsius. A little fresher across the north-west. And as I mentioned

02:21this weather front not going anywhere quickly. Just stays across parts of northern England,

02:26the midlands, Wales, south-west England through Wednesday. Outbreaks of patchy rain at times

02:30but it should break up to allow some brighter spells to develop. To the south-east of this

02:41moving in. Sunny spells and scattered showers. 17-21 Celsius. Under the cloud around 23-24
