00:00Hello, very good day to you. Yes, there are a few showers around today and even a bit
00:04more rain across parts of Scotland and there will be through the next few days. But high
00:09pressure is building. It is going to turn largely settled across the bulk of the country
00:13as we go through much of this week. And with that high pressure, lots of fine sunny weather
00:18and also temperatures rising as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend,
00:23we're likely to get into the mid 20 Celsius. So feeling a bit more like we would hope it
00:28would at this stage in spring summers, not too far away. But let's look at the detail
00:33through this afternoon. And there's quite a bit of cloud at the moment. And like I said,
00:37some outbreaks of rain across parts of Scotland, a few showers dotted elsewhere. Some of them
00:42could be a little bit on the heavy side, but perhaps there won't be as many showers as
00:46shown behind me. So a good chance that most of us will actually stay dry and most of us
00:51will see some bright sunny spells, some breaks developing in the cloud as we go through the
00:56afternoon. In the breaks, in the sunshine, temperatures should rise quite nicely. Low
01:0020s towards the south, a little bit cooler than this further north, but nonetheless not
01:05feeling too bad, especially if you do see any of that sunshine. A few showers will continue
01:10as we go into the evening. A few outbreaks of rain still across parts of Scotland, but
01:14generally it is going to turn dry overnight. A bit of cloud pushing in from the North Sea.
01:19So North Sea coastal areas turning pretty cloudy overnight. Further west, though, a
01:23bit more clear skies around. And as a result, we could see some mist and fog patches developing
01:29where we see the clear skies and also a bit of mist and murk perhaps coming in from the
01:33coast towards western parts too. It's not going to be a particularly chilly night. Some
01:38places will hold up in double figures, though most areas just about dropping into single
01:43figures as we look through into Wednesday. And while it's looking like a fine day for
01:48many of us, once any mist and fog does clear away towards the northwest, though, across
01:53northwestern parts of Scotland, perhaps the far northwest of Northern Ireland, a bit more
01:56cloud here and some outbreaks of rain, perhaps a few spots of rain further south across other
02:02areas of Scotland too. But for much of England and Wales, yes, we can't rule out a shower.
02:07But on the whole, it's looking like another largely fine day. And there perhaps will be
02:12a bit more sunshine than today. And as a result, it may feel a little bit warmer, even though
02:17temperatures on paper won't be a huge amount different to what we're seeing today, perhaps
02:22a little bit higher towards northern areas, but again, towards more southern areas, high
02:26teens, low 20s perhaps. Now, the other thing that we do need to bear in mind at this time
02:31of year with the fine sunny weather, UV levels. They're generally going to be moderate for
02:35many areas, but towards the south, some high levels of UV. So if you do spend a good deal
02:41of time outside tomorrow, then you will need to make sure you are protected from the sun.
02:46Looking further ahead, and like I said, high pressure is building and it's going to dominate
02:50the picture as we go through much of this week. So plenty of fine warm weather to come
02:54for most of us. Bit more rain though towards the far north-northwest of the UK. And the
02:58whole time, you can't rule out an isolated shower elsewhere. But on the whole, it is
03:02going to stay dry and fine for many of us. It's the weather most of us have been looking
03:07forward to. Remember, you can check out our deep dive, which will be available on our
03:11YouTube channel later this afternoon with Annie. Otherwise, I'll see you again soon.
03:15Ta-ra.
