00:00Hello there, good morning. Welcome to your latest forecast from the Met Office. A wet
00:05start to the day across Scotland, some heavy bursts of rain as we go through Monday, all
00:10thanks to an area of low pressure sapped to the north-west of the UK, driving in weather
00:14systems from the Atlantic, bringing in some humid air for the time of year as well and
00:18then slowly turning fresher through tomorrow. Heavy rain across Scotland this morning, some
00:23tricky travelling conditions through the day as this rain pushes north and eastwards. Rain
00:28also affecting parts of Northern Ireland into Northern England, perhaps North Wales
00:33too, turning increasingly heavy here later on today. But much of England and Wales generally
00:38drier and brighter. There will be some sunny spells as we go through the day today. And
00:43the winds coming in from the south ahead of this weather system, drawing in some warm
00:47air highs around 26, possibly 27 Celsius across some far eastern parts of England. A little
00:53fresher across Northern Ireland, the far north-west of Scotland behind this weather system, 17
00:59to 22 degrees. As we head through into the evening time, still some heavy pulses of rain
01:04along this weather front affecting southern parts of Scotland, Northern England, Wales,
01:09the West Country and then pushing slowly into parts of the Midlands, central southern England
01:13as we head into the early hours. Generally staying dry across south-east England through
01:18the night here and with the muggy air temperatures here, 16, 17 Celsius as a minimum. And then
01:25fresher air starting to move into Northern Ireland, western Scotland, 12 or 13 degrees.
01:30But a bright start here with sunny spells, showers slowly pushing in from the Atlantic
01:34as we go through the day. This weather system slowly pushing south-eastwards across England
01:39and still affecting parts of Shetland at times too. It just may become slow moving across
01:44south-east England, some heavy bursts possible for east Anglia down into Kent for later on
01:49in the afternoon. But many places behind this becoming dry and brighter, just one or two
01:53showers. But fresher air moving in from the west, temperatures down 18 to 22 Celsius for
01:59many but still muggy across the south-east here. Highs around 24 or 25 Celsius possible.
02:06Into the middle and towards the end of the week, well it continues to remain rather mixed.
02:12There will be further rain at times, particularly across the north and the west of the UK. Best
02:16of the dry weather will be towards south-east England and temperatures generally around
02:20average for the time of year.
