00:00Hello there, good afternoon. After a cloudy start for many, we're set to see a return
00:05of the warm spring sunshine. That's away from the north-west though, more clouds spilling
00:09in here and also some long and persistent outbreaks of rain, particularly across north-western
00:13parts of Scotland, northern Scotland, and then later on just starting to creep into
00:17western parts of Northern Ireland. But elsewhere, once any cloud clears across the south, there's
00:21going to be plenty of blue skies, plenty of spring sunshine, and feeling warm in that
00:26sunshine too, with highs of around 14-15C. Then through the course of the night, we'll
00:32see this band of cloud outbreaks of rain slowly sink their way south-eastwards, bringing quite
00:37a wet night across Northern Ireland, still across parts of Scotland, and then later creeping
00:41into northern parts of England and Wales. So quite a damp morning to come by the time
00:45we reach Tuesday, but across the south and south-east, plenty of clear skies, but that
00:50means we're likely to see some mist and fog, turning chillier here too, but largely frost-free,
00:55but remaining largely mild under cloudier skies. Then as we head into tomorrow, there
01:01is more cloud and some outbreaks of rain on its way as this band continues to sink its
01:05way southwards, but any rain largely petering out, particularly by the afternoon, but just
01:10bringing more in the way of cloud across the south. But to the north of this, seeing those
01:14sunny spells break through the cloud, particularly across Northern Ireland and Scotland, and
01:18once again, temperatures of around 14-15C, so feeling pleasant where you do catch those
01:23sunnier spells. Then for the rest of the week, we have a ridge of high pressure, so you find
01:29conditions later into Tuesday and on Wednesday, but through the course of the week, we'll
01:33start to see a return of Atlantic mobility, so frontal systems pushing their way in, bringing
01:38more clouds and outbreaks of rain, perhaps even some quite breezy weather by the time
01:41we reach Friday. But for more updates on the week ahead, you can catch Alex Birkhill later,
01:46otherwise that's it from me. Bye bye.
