00:00Hello and a very good evening to you. Plenty of fine weather around tonight with some hazy
00:05evening sunshine but as we head into next week it will be all changed. We do have two
00:10low pressure systems waiting out in the west and they'll be slowly arriving as we head
00:14in towards Monday morning and then spreading further east as we head through the rest of
00:19the day. Do notice there is a particular squeeze on those isobars particularly through the
00:24Irish Sea and it will be pretty gusty and breezy here with some gales on Monday. But
00:29back to this evening. There will be some cloud around but plenty of hazy evening sunshine
00:33as well and we do start to see that cloud thickening from the west, rain becoming more
00:37persistent across north west of Scotland and it will be quite a cloudy end to the night
00:42for Northern Ireland with some drizzly showers moving into the south west of England and
00:46parts of Wales. But largely dry and clear across the far east of the country. Temperatures
00:52here are likely to be still quite cool and fresh perhaps into the single figures in a
00:56few rural spots further east. So a cool and fresh start to the day if you are in the east
01:02of the country. Very much a different picture the further west. We do still have cloud thickening
01:07from the west, that rain turning particularly heavy through the late morning across Northern
01:11Ireland and into the afternoon as well. We have a yellow rain warning out for parts of
01:16south west Scotland and with that strong southerly wind coming up through the Irish Sea with
01:21gales there is a good chance we're going to see some difficult driving conditions, lots
01:25of spray on the road as well so do take care as you're driving or travelling through the
01:29late afternoon and early evening. Temperatures underneath that cloud and with that rain are
01:35going to be at the best into the mid or high teens underneath that cloud and rain. Feeling
01:40quite cool here but the further east that we go we do still have quite a warm and humid
01:45feed of air coming into the south east of England and 25 or maybe 26 is not out of the
01:50question here. So still a fairly warm day for the far south east but that cloud and
01:54rain slowly and surely is sweeping its way eastwards as we head through Monday night
01:59so a pretty damp night overall for much of the country. Clear spells and blustery showers
02:04do start to move their way in and we do see temperatures again much milder across the
02:10south east and back into the mid teens with that strong wind so not quite as cool and
02:14as chilly as we have seen recently. And then through the rest of Tuesday some of that more
02:19persistent rain across the south east and also the north east of Scotland taking a bit
02:22of time to clear through the morning. Elsewhere it will be bright spells and heavy blustery
02:26showers particularly for parts of England as we head into the afternoon. Northern Ireland
02:32and the north west of Scotland seeing particularly frequent heavy showers as well. Very strong
02:37winds across the far north west of Scotland and with temperatures at best in the mid teens
02:41it's going to be still feeling pretty chilly here as well. Further south there's still
02:46a fairly brisk westerly wind and in the far south east those temperatures still could
02:49get up to 23, 24 so out of the wind and in some sunshine maybe still feeling quite pleasant
02:55here too. Those showers will continue as we head through this evening and it will be turning
03:01fairly unsettled to finish the week as well. If you want to check out any more about what
