00:00Hello there. The first day of meteorological autumn is starting warm and humid and the
00:06atmosphere is primed for some heavy showers and thunderstorms. Low pressure dominating
00:11through Sunday and into Monday before pulling away allowing more of an Atlantic influence
00:16as we head through the week and staying fairly changeable as well. For Sunday afternoon into
00:22the evening time, the risk of some heavy showers and thunderstorms developing across parts
00:26of England and Wales, in particular eastern areas, but they could almost crop up anywhere
00:31across parts of the UK. Rather cloudy across Northern Ireland, southern parts of Scotland,
00:36the risk of some thunderstorms later here. Drier, brighter across Northern Scotland with
00:41some sunny spells. Winds generally light but just coming in off the North Sea across some
00:46northern and eastern parts of the UK here, quite chilly, 15 to 17 Celsius. Further south
00:51and east, quite warm and humid, temperatures reaching around 27, possibly 28 Celsius in
00:57the best of any sunshine that develops towards the south-east. Further west across parts
01:02of Wales, the West Country, the continued risk of some thunderstorms here. Continue
01:07to see some thunderstorms as we head through into the evening time, pushing northwards,
01:10perhaps merging into some longer spells of rain. A MetEor is warning out for much of
01:15the day ahead and overnight as well. We could see 30 to 50 millimetres if you catch one
01:19of these heavy showers, some hail, some lightning in there. So there could be some disruption
01:24taking us into Monday morning. A weather front also bringing some longer spells of rain across
01:30the far west later on and a warm, humid night for everyone, temperatures mid to high teens.
01:36Rather cloudy on Monday, outbreaks of showery rain in places, some thunderstorms, hail,
01:41some localised disruption. So there could be some tricky travelling conditions. A MetEor
01:45is warning staying out for much of the day on Monday. So it is worth staying up to date
01:49with the latest information on our channels over the next 24 hours or so as the development
01:56of the showers is likely to change. But we could see some very heavy showers developing
02:00right through the day. In between, there will be some sunny spells just starting to turn
02:04a little drier across the far west later on in the day. Temperatures generally similar
02:1016 to 21 for most, still 24, 25 possible across the south-east where it's still fairly humid
02:18and it remains unchangeable as we go through into the evening time. Further thunderstorms
02:24possible, some longer spells of rain, hefty downpours across eastern Scotland there to
02:28end the day as well and some just dry weather trying to get into the far west later on.
02:35So over the next 24 hours, there are lots of potential heavy thundery showers around,
02:41some torrential downpours possible, some hail, some lightning could lead to some disruption.
02:46So it is worth staying up to date with the forecast through the next few days. See you
02:50again soon.
