00:00Hello and a very good morning to you. Fine and dry if you're starting this day in the
00:04east of the country but it's a very different picture the further west you are. We have
00:08wet and windy weather arriving from the west with these two areas of low pressure sweeping
00:13eastwards as we head through Monday. A squeeze on the isobars, particularly strong winds
00:17and it will be staying quite unsettled through Tuesday as well. But as we head back to this
00:23morning, again it's going to be a pretty dry and bright day if you're in the southeast
00:26of England but for the southwest and for parts of Wales already pretty grey with some
00:31drizzly conditions, rain turning heavier and more persistent as we head through the late
00:36morning and into the early afternoon. There is a yellow rain warning in force for parts
00:40of southwest Scotland and with a strong southerly breeze through the Irish Sea gales here it
00:45could make for some difficult driving conditions with all that rain around and the spray on
00:50the road. Temperatures at best are going to be mid or high teens and it will be feeling
00:55quite chilly under this cloud and with the rain. But across the far southeast there's
01:00going to be a warm and humid flow still and we could get 25 possibly even 26 in the far
01:05southeast of England. So they may hold on to some evening sunshine in the far southeast
01:11but that rain will be slowly and steadily moving eastwards through the rest of the evening,
01:15a damp night for most and we'll see some clear spells and further blustery showers moving
01:20in from the west as well. And those stronger winds and that extra cloud will give temperatures
01:26a little bit higher than we've seen recently so not those cool fresh mornings that we've
01:29become used to in some spots as well. Through the rest of the day there could be some cloud
01:34lingering at first across the southeast and for the far northeast of Scotland on Tuesday
01:39morning but it will be a day of blustery showers and some bright and sunny spells. Showers
01:44particularly heavy and frequent across Northern Ireland and particularly across Scotland as
01:48well. Temperatures in the far northwest at best in the mid-teens and with that strong
01:53wind particularly around close to this low pressure it will be feeling quite cold on
01:59the exposed coast and over the high ground as well. Further south those temperatures
02:03do pick up a little bit, warmest again in the far southeast and out of that breeze and
02:08in some sunshine again not feeling too bad on Tuesday. Heading through the evening it
02:13will stay fairly unsettled, we still have further showers around and there will be further
02:18unsettled weather heading in towards next week. Do check out our YouTube channel if
02:22you want to find out any more on that.
