00:00Hello, very good day to you. There is going to be quite a changeable, if not autumnal

00:05feel to the weather this week and we're going to start to see that change as we go through

00:09today. Already, yes, it was a bright start across southern southeastern parts but we

00:14have seen cloud pushing in from the west through this morning and with that then plenty of

00:19rain has started to make its way across parts of Northern Ireland into Western Scotland

00:23and we're starting to see some rain in the far west of England and Wales as well. That's

00:27because of a frontal system that is pushing its way eastwards and will continue to do

00:31so as we go through today. So many northern and western parts turning pretty wet for a

00:36time. In the east-southeast, there's still some brightness as we go into the afternoon

00:40and here we're going to have the highest temperatures still warm, getting to highs of around 25

00:44or 26 Celsius. A few degrees fresher than this further west and where we have the cloud,

00:49the rain and some strong winds, it is going to feel markedly fresher than this. But as

00:54we go through this evening, that cloud, that rain across northern-western parts will continue

00:58its progress eastwards. So although it will be a dry end to the day in the southeast,

01:02it is going to turn wet here overnight and the rain could be a little bit heavy at times

01:06through the early hours of tomorrow morning. Otherwise, some clear spells following in

01:10behind. Notice clear spells across parts of the Midlands, south-west England, Northern

01:14Ireland. All the time though, there will also be some showery bursts, particularly across

01:19parts of Scotland but even elsewhere, some showery bursts are quite possible. Temperatures

01:24won't drop a huge amount because of the blustery conditions many of us will have. Particularly

01:28in the southeast, they're going to hold up highest. Some places only dropping to lows

01:32of around 17 or 18 Celsius. So a bit of a cloudy, damp start across parts of the southeast

01:38first thing tomorrow morning because of that front that will still be lingering here. But

01:43that is going to clear away and then behind it, plenty of showers and some blustery winds.

01:48So those showers should rattle through quite quickly if you get any, but they could be

01:52quite heavy, particularly across parts of Scotland and towards north-western parts of

01:57Northern Ireland and England as well. In between the showers, there will be some sunny spells

02:01but a bit of a fresher feel to things compared to of late and especially when you factor

02:07in those brisk winds, it's not going to feel much like summer. It will feel more like autumn.

02:12Temperatures only getting to highs of around 23 Celsius towards the southeast and mid-teens

02:15at best across some parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Later on as we go through

02:20the rest of this week, there's more changeable unsettled weather to come, particularly towards

02:25the northwest on Wednesday into Thursday. That's when we could see the remnants of what

02:30was Hurricane Ernesto bringing some very wet and windy weather for a time. Otherwise, there

02:35is still more unsettled weather to come and there will be some strong winds pushing through

02:39and that will add to the relatively cool feel. So yes, not really feeling much like the end

02:44of summer. If you want to know a bit more about what we can expect through the rest

02:48of this week, do head to our YouTube channel later on this afternoon when Aidan will have

02:53a more in-depth outlook. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
