00:00Hello welcome to your afternoon update from the Met Office. Bit of rain around
00:04tomorrow but apart from that many of us are going to have a pretty dry week
00:08thanks to high pressure dominating down to the southeast of the UK. Up to the
00:13northwest we've got a big area of low pressure, an intense area of low pressure
00:17barreling its way across Iceland but it's pushing away to the north. This
00:22trailing weather front though is fast approaching. The isobars are also
00:25squidging together so that's why the winds picking up and actually turning
00:29pretty wet and windy across the northwest of Scotland staying that way
00:32throughout the afternoon. A little bit of showery rain getting into Northern
00:36Ireland through the afternoon as well. There's a little bit of drizzle here and
00:39there over central parts of southern England and the Midlands drifting
00:42towards the southeast but that's really quite light and very patchy. Most of
00:46England and Wales staying dry. Quite cloudy across East Anglia in the southeast this
00:50afternoon but brightening up over the Midlands, southwest England, East Wales,
00:54parts of northeast England seeing some decent spells of sunshine. A little
00:58breezy here but certainly quite pleasant I suspect for early February 9, 10, 11
01:03Celsius. The winds though are really picking up across the far northwest
01:07getting very gusty and blustery across northwest Scotland with that rain coming
01:11in and intensifying through this evening. Not very pleasant at all. That rain will
01:15spread across Northern Ireland and then really pep up across parts of southwest
01:19Scotland overnight and into Tuesday morning. So we've got our Met Office
01:23yellow warning in place for parts of southwest Scotland so that rain as I say
01:27could really build up here. We're seeing some of that rain by the end of the
01:30night trickle towards Anglesey, parts of the Lake District too but a good part of
01:35England and Wales staying dry overnight. Quite murky and misty again across the
01:39southeast but not as cold as last night. Temperatures mostly staying up at four
01:44or five degrees Celsius across central and eastern parts. Milder still further
01:48west temperatures starting tomorrow eight or nine Celsius. So not a cold
01:52start but it will be a wet and windy start through the central belt across
01:55parts of northwest England, northwest Wales. That rain pulling away from Northern
02:00Ireland could just push back into the east to affect Belfast for a time through
02:04the morning and then it crosses through Wales, southwest England. So things
02:08turning wet and windy here during tomorrow. Behind it it turns brighter but
02:12with lots of showers packing in to northwest Scotland. Staying pretty windy
02:18in many areas particularly in the northwest through the night slowly
02:21easing a little tomorrow but the winds also picking up as this line of rain
02:25edges into the Midlands. Eastern parts of England generally staying dry through
02:30daylight hours but eventually that rain will come across here through the
02:33evening too. Temperature wise though double digits almost across the board
02:36obviously not feeling very pleasant if you're stuck under the zone of rain but
02:40that should be clearing so brighter skies to end the day for Northern
02:43England and Wales compared to the morning time. That area of rain it's a
02:47weather front will continue to trickle as I said towards East Anglia and the
02:50southeast but also continue to fizzle out so really amount to too much during
02:55Tuesday evening by which time lots more showers packing into the northwest of
02:59Scotland and the north of Northern Ireland. Some thunderstorms possible, hail
03:03mixed in as well. There is that weather front pushing across. Now as we go to the
03:08next couple of days the ice bars pointing out to the Atlantic so our
03:12winds are coming in from the west but we are going to see quite a big switch
03:15around through this week. That weather front moves out the way, high pressure
03:19moves in. That as I said at the start will bring many places some dry weather
03:24for most of this week but as the high shifts up towards Scandinavia well it
03:29means the winds have completely switched direction so we start with a westerly
03:32wind we're going to end the week with more of an easterly wind and that will
03:36bring colder air as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend.
03:41Something we will be watching closely as we go through this week. It is likely to
03:45turn quite a bit colder. Aidan will have much more on that in this week's fully
03:50detailed weather for the week ahead and that will be available on our YouTube
03:54channel by Monday afternoon so might as well subscribe.
