The morning starts off bright for many parts of the UK, but it will be overcast in Wales and south-west and central England with spells of rain. In the afternoon the frontal system that brought rain to Wales and central England moves eastward and dissipates which brings cloudy but largely dry conditions to the south-east. Elsewhere it is sunny in England and Wales and in Scotland and Northern Ireland it will also be mostly sunny with some scattered showers.

00:00Good morning and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Weather turning
00:04a little bit calmer as we head through this week and towards the middle part of the week
00:08and that's thanks to the jet stream being shunted a little bit further north-west. This
00:11is the jet stream in the pink showing where the strongest winds are and it's going to
00:15be shunted further towards the north-west of the country allowing high pressure to dominate
00:19across the south and the east of the country certainly towards the mid-week.
00:24Heading back to you this morning though, so across the far south-east of England it's
00:27going to be a fine and dry start to the day. This frontal system across the western part
00:32will slowly begin to sink south-east as we head through Tuesday morning. Those showers
00:36turning fewer and farther between by the time we head into the afternoon and plenty of sunny
00:40spells developing through Tuesday afternoon as well. Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland
00:46noticeably seeing less in the way of showers than on Monday and winds lighter for many
00:50but still fairly breezy across the north. Certainly for the Hebrides and for Orkney
00:54and Shetland it's still going to be quite a breezy day. Temperatures are best 11-13
00:59across the northern half of the country, warmer across the far south and feeling quite pleasant
01:03in sunshine and in shelter from the wind as well.
01:07Heading through Tuesday evening then, so the area of cloud and a couple of shower stills
01:10beginning to sink further south-east. Plenty of clear skies developing through Tuesday
01:14evening, just the odd shower of rain approaching into western parts but it will be turning
01:19cloudier for Northern Ireland and for parts of Scotland with that wind increasing as well
01:23in towards Wednesday morning. So again, under cloud and with that strengthening wind, fairly
01:28mild for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland and down the western half of the UK on Wednesday
01:33morning. But where we do have those clear skies and light winds, temperatures falling
01:37back in towards single figures and it's on Wednesday morning where we'll see more in
01:41the way of mist and fog patches and these could just take a little bit longer to clear
01:45on Wednesday morning.
01:48But outside of any mist and fog patches, certainly across the south-eastern half of England,
01:52plenty of sunny spells to start the day. There will be the odd shower that could develop
01:55across the south but they will be quite few and far between. Elsewhere, fairly cloudy
02:00at first but some sunny spells developing through the afternoon and generally a fairly
02:03fine day through Wednesday. Noting though that strengthening southerly wind across western
02:09parts, it will be turning breezier as we head through the afternoon as well.
02:13Temperatures again on Wednesday around the mid-teens across the southern half of the
02:16UK and temperatures beginning to pick up across Scotland too on Wednesday up towards 15 degrees
02:21with that southerly wind as well. So pleasant enough if you're in that sunshine and out
02:25of the breeze too.
02:29Heading through Wednesday evening, generally fine across the south but there will be change
02:32as we head through the later part of this week. If you want to find out any more on
02:35the weather, please do have a look at our YouTube channel.
