00:00 Hello there. It definitely has been a soggy weekend so far across Scotland. Parts of Argyll
00:05 and Bute have recorded around 150mm of rain, which is very close to what we'd normally
00:11 expect to see across the entire month of October on average. There are still amber weather
00:16 warnings in force until 2pm this afternoon. The focus of the rainfall is shifting from
00:20 western areas more towards parts of Angus, Moray, Aberdeenshire in the east. Generally
00:25 into this afternoon as well. It will be turning lighter and more patchier, but still some
00:30 rain persisting on. Elsewhere, a largely dry day, a fair amount of cloud for parts of Northern
00:34 Ireland, northern central areas of England though, some parts of the west, Midlands and
00:38 into southern areas of England and Wales as well, seeing a few sunnier spells developing.
00:42 Certainly with the rain easing off across parts of Scotland, it will be a notably milder
00:46 day today. Temperatures climbing up by 5 or 6 degrees Celsius upon what we did see underneath
00:51 the persistent rainfall yesterday. For parts of Blackpool to Hull southwards though, widely
00:56 seeing 20 to 23 degrees Celsius. Some spots crouching towards 24, 25 degrees Celsius once
01:04 again as well. So notably warmer for the time of year. As we head into this evening and
01:10 overnight, the rainfall across Scotland will begin to again ease off, but also shift its
01:15 way southwards. So to the early hours of Monday morning, starting to see some rain pushing
01:19 into Northern Ireland, into Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders and maybe into the far
01:23 north of England as well. Elsewhere again, largely dry, but a good chunk of cloud pushing
01:27 into western coastal areas could turn quite foggy and murky here. For most of us though,
01:31 it will be a relatively mild night. Temperatures rounding off around 11 to 15 degrees Celsius.
01:38 Might drop into some single figures where we see some clearer breaks across parts of
01:41 Wales and southwest England, but more likely across areas of northeastern Scotland. As
01:47 we start off the new working week then, we do have this thick band of cloud across Northern
01:51 Ireland, southern Scotland, northern England. Could produce some showery outbreaks of rain
01:55 drizzle in places as well. The cloud in the west will begin to burn back towards the coastline
02:00 slowly, but some of it could persist for a good chunk of the afternoon as well. Generally,
02:05 the further you are east into Wales, central southern areas of England, more likely to
02:09 see some of those sunnier spells developing into the afternoon though. Still, some wispy
02:13 cloud around could make the skies hazy at times as well. Temperatures for all of us
02:17 though still 5 degrees above where we'd normally expect them at this point in October, ranging
02:22 between 16 degrees Celsius in Scotland and 24 degrees Celsius in parts of southern England.
02:29 Will be a relatively dry end to the day for most of us. The cloud returning into Irish
02:34 Sea coastal areas, so again, turning quite misty and murky here. Some drizzle and rain
02:39 pushing across parts of northwest Scotland. This does begin to signal some changes as
02:44 we head into the start of Tuesday, where this weather front is going to start pushing its
02:48 way in from the northwest, slowly moving south eastwards as we head towards Wednesday as
02:52 well as a band of rain. It will, though, bring some cooler conditions behind it. So whilst
02:58 most of us will see some rain over the course of this week, we'll start to see temperatures
03:03 trending downwards as well, more closer towards average for the time of year. We'll keep you
03:08 up to date with all of that, though, across all of our social media channels, so make
03:11 sure you're following us there. We'll be back with you again very soon. Bye bye.
