00:00Hi there, I suspect the weather today will feel more like late autumn than early autumn.
00:08The winds have changed, they're coming from the north and they bring with them spells
00:13of rain, showers and a cold feel.
00:17One initial spell of rain is crossing Scotland, Northern Ireland through the morning pushing
00:20into Northern England and North Wales by lunchtime and then heading south into southern parts
00:25by the end of the afternoon.
00:27It's going to fizzle out a little but it will still be a spell of relatively short-lived
00:32but heavy rain.
00:35North of that the skies do brighten, we get some clear spells but also frequent showers
00:40and for Shetland and Orkney longer spells of rain.
00:44The risk for Shetland in particular of 40, perhaps 80 millimetres of rain falling through
00:49the day, a lot of that in very heavy bursts accompanied by gusty winds, wind gusts in
00:54excess of 50 miles an hour, so the risk of disruption for the Northern Isles during the
00:59daytime, watch out for that.
01:01Elsewhere across Scotland, blustery showers, gusty winds, Northern Ireland likewise but
01:05some sunshine in between even if it will feel cold for the time of year.
01:1111 to 13 in the north, talking about 17 to 19 further south although temperatures will
01:16drop further as this spell of rain clears and that's associated with a cold front which
01:23then marks the arrival of those Arctic winds and as you can see from the colour change
01:28it's a significant and very noticeable contrast compared with the end of last week when we
01:34saw temperatures reaching 27 Celsius across north-western parts of the UK, just 11 or
01:4012 Celsius on Tuesday, heading into Wednesday for the north-west, all of that with gusty
01:46winds and frequent showers.
01:48The showers, lively at times, could see a rumble of thunder or flash of lightning and
01:53it's going to be again quite a blustery night but with the wind gusts staying up overnight
02:00temperatures will stay at 8 or 9 Celsius typically, they would be even lower than that if it wasn't
02:06so gusty.
02:08We start off Wednesday with that fresh feel to things and further showers coming through
02:12but there will be some sunshine especially in the south and the east first thing, the
02:17cloud will tend to fill in by the afternoon and there will be showers just about anywhere
02:21however it's northern and north-western areas that will see the most frequent downpours,
02:25some heavy downpours, even some more prolonged rain at times particularly for those areas
02:29exposed to the northerly winds, so for example northern Scotland.
02:33But away from the showers some bright spells, some blue skies coming through particularly
02:37towards the south, 16, perhaps 17 Celsius otherwise it's low to mid-teens and in some
02:44spots 11 or 12 Celsius, add on the wind it's going to feel more like high single figures.
02:51So a very unsettled spell during the next couple of days, unseasonably cold with frequent
02:57showers, some brightness in between.
