00:00Good afternoon, well many of us have seen plenty of warm spring sunshine but a
00:05change is in store with much colder conditions coming down from the north
00:09and that's all to do with this cold front across northern parts of Scotland.
00:13It will gradually sink its way southwards introducing a much colder air
00:18than what we've had in recent days. For all of us this will come through on
00:22Tuesday. So through the rest of this afternoon there are many places holding on to
00:28a good deal of sunshine across much of the UK. Hazy at times across the
00:32southwest but across the far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland that's
00:37where we have heavier spells of rain associated with this cold front. But for
00:43temperatures it's still going to be feeling a pleasant especially for the
00:46time of year. We'll see highs climbing 18, 19 possibly even 20 degrees across
00:52central parts of England today. So well above average for this time of year.
00:57So as we go through Sunday evening then it is going to be turning damp across much
01:02of Scotland as this band of rain continues to slowly sink its way
01:06southwards. We'll turn wintry on the hills as well with a blustery wind
01:10coming in from the north. Elsewhere holding on to a lot more cloud across
01:14southern parts of England perhaps even with a few spots of rain. But for most
01:18places it should stay frost free perhaps with some mist and fog patches
01:23developing. So as we start Monday morning then actually it's going to be a pretty
01:28murky picture with har and fret across the eastern coast and this band of rain
01:33will gradually sink its way southwards. Generally eases as it gets
01:37into northern parts of England. Behind that blustery showers moving through but
01:42ahead of it across much of England and Wales. A little bit more cloud compared
01:46to recent days with some showery outbreaks of rain across the far south
01:50but there will be some brighter interludes. Here temperatures won't be as
01:54mild as recent days so still up into the double figures 14 possibly 15 degrees
02:00but a contrast in the north. Temperatures will be falling away so feeling colder
02:05and especially with that brisk wind as well that will just take the edge off
02:09those temperatures. So as we go through Monday evening we hold on to this murky
02:14conditions across the eastern coast. The rain generally fizzling out but a lot of
02:18cloud still across much of England, Wales, Northern Ireland but behind that
02:22we hold on to the clearest skies, blustery showers, temperatures falling
02:26away so a touch of frost in places especially across Scotland as we start
02:31Tuesday. But for all of us that cold wear will eventually reach the south so all
02:37of us it will be feeling colder on Tuesday there'll be some bright spells
02:40and then as we go into Wednesday it's a case of sunny spells and scattered
02:44showers. That's all from me for now though but make sure to hit subscribe
02:48so you don't miss an update and I'll see you soon bye-bye
