00:00Hello there. Some wet and windy weather over the next few days. In fact, Met Office warnings

00:06already in force for Tuesday and Wednesday. Strong winds, gusts of 50-60 mph possible

00:11around western coast, perhaps some inland areas too. So there's some disruption possible

00:16over the next few days. And looking at the bigger picture, it's this area of low pressure

00:20developing in the Atlantic moving across the UK through Tuesday into Wednesday. Look at

00:26the isobars close together. Some very strong winds possible, 50-60 mph, but also accompanied

00:31by some heavy rain. And it really takes its time to move out of the way Thursday and into

00:35Friday, leaving a legacy of heavy showers. And showers is what we have this Easter Monday

00:41across the UK. Sunny spells in between. Showers perhaps merging to give some longer spells

00:46of rain too. Some of these showers heavy at times, the risk of some hail and thunder.

00:50But in between, some sunny spells. But a blustery afternoon, and that will just take the edge

00:55off the temperatures. The coolest of the long Easter weekend highs around 14 or 15 in the

01:01southeast, generally 11 or 12 elsewhere. So just feeling a little chilly across the UK.

01:07Into this evening time, we still have some heavy showers, so travelling conditions could

01:11deteriorate at times if you are out and about. But overnight, the showers start to ease.

01:16We see some lengthy clear spells developing. And in between, when we get those lengthy

01:21clear skies, we'll see temperatures starting to drop away. Perhaps close to freezing in

01:25the countryside, 2 or 3 degrees, leading to a touch of frost. But the general town and

01:30cities across the UK holding up above freezing. So it means a chilly start to Tuesday morning.

01:36There'll be sunny spells, but also showers, particularly across central western parts

01:40of Scotland. And then the clouds thickening through the morning from the southwest as

01:44this area of low pressure moves in. Outbreaks of heavy rain moving in Northern Ireland,

01:48Wales, the Midlands, southwest England, and strong winds too. The meteor is warning coming

01:53in force here. 50, 60 miles an hour gusts up through the Irish Sea. Best of the sunshine

01:58holding on across the north-east of Scotland, eastern parts of England. But even here, one

02:03or two showers are possible. And quite a cool feeling day, particularly where we have those

02:08gusty winds. 11, 12 Celsius, the very best. 13 or 14 in the brightness in the far east.

02:14So quite disappointing for this time of year. Then the rain quickly pushes north-eastwards

02:20through this evening time, bumping into some colder air over the higher ground. Scotland

02:24could give some snow here. Behind it, we do see some clear spells, some blustery showers

02:29moving in. Temperatures dropping away, 3 or 4 Celsius. That wind warning mailing in force.

02:34But they do ease a little bit ahead of then Wednesday when the winds whip up again. 50,

02:3860 miles an hour across southwestern parts of the UK. Further wet and windy weather for

02:43many. This followed by sunshine and showers on Thursday and Friday. The winds gradually

02:49easing but still feeling rather cool for the time of year. So there's quite a lot going

02:52on with our weather over the next few days. You can keep up to date on our social media

02:58channels. I'll see you again soon.
