00:00Good evening. Clear skies tonight will make for good viewing conditions of the

00:03meteor shower. However before then there's still a risk of some thundery

00:07downpours across eastern areas of England after the rather unsettled day

00:11for some of us. But behind it it's going to turn much drier and clearer across

00:14the whole of the UK. So a clear night to come. There could be some low cloud

00:18lingering across the northwest by tomorrow morning and there will be some

00:22wet weather spreading in across Northern Ireland and western areas of Wales and

00:26England by tomorrow morning. But elsewhere a very dry night and as a

00:31result temperatures will fall a little lower quite widely compared to last

00:34night. Last night some places didn't get down below 20 degrees but tonight will

00:38be closer to the seasonal average 12 or 14 degrees for many towns and cities.

00:42Still across the southeast though holding on to that fairly humid air. And

00:46across the west where we do see this rain arriving the winds will pick up

00:50through tomorrow morning. So quite a breezy start to the day for Northern

00:53Ireland, western areas of England and Wales, northwest of Scotland as well

00:56where it will remain quite windy through a lot of the day. We could see

00:59gusts in excess of 40 miles per hour through Tuesday afternoon. Now there's a

01:03lot of cloud to come across much of northern England, Wales, southwest

01:06England through the day. Some heavier outbursts of rain but in general just

01:10quite a lot of cloud around fairly overcast. In the southeast though still

01:14holding on to that sunshine and as a result temperatures still climbing up

01:18towards the high 20s. We could still see 29 degrees on Tuesday but quite widely

01:23it is going to be a cooler day tomorrow compared to today. These are the

01:27temperatures tomorrow compared to today's maximums. Where it's blue you can see it's a

01:31good 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Monday's maximum. So certainly a

01:35different feel on the way for tomorrow. But as I said still plenty of sunshine

01:39still lasting until the evening across eastern areas of England. But that will

01:42change through Tuesday night as the cloud and rain sinks into central and

01:46eastern areas of England and elsewhere. Northern Ireland, Scotland, North Wales,

01:50northern England, a much clearer and drier end to the night to start

01:54Wednesday morning. So temperatures here still a fresher night. Could see some

01:59single figures across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. Fairly warm night

02:03though still fresher than tonight across the far south and east. Now on Wednesday

02:09morning this cloud and rain will likely linger through eastern and central areas

02:13of England. It could last through much of the day. Quite a different story

02:15though for more western areas. Wales, northern England, Scotland. The odd shower

02:19possible but plenty of sunny spells. In the sunshine it will still feel fairly

02:24warm. We've got fairly light winds. Temperatures still climbing into the 20s.

02:27It's around average for the time of year. But once again wet and windy weather

02:31will spread in from the north and west through Wednesday evening. And that will

02:36make for a fairly wet day quite widely on Thursday. But if you'd like any more

02:40details on that why not check out our week ahead forecast on YouTube and I'll

02:43see you again soon. Bye bye.
