00:00Hello there, good evening. It's probably going to be quite a nice sunset across central and
00:04southern parts, but quite a different story for the north-west. More cloud here and outbreaks
00:09of rain. Some of this could be a little bit heavy across hills and exposed coasts, and
00:13this band of cloud and rain will slowly sink its way southwards through the course of the
00:16night, moving into northern parts of England and Wales by the time we reach the morning.
00:20Turning a little dry across parts of Scotland, though we can't rule out a few showers just
00:24skirting across the northern isles, where it's going to be quite blustery. But across
00:27parts of the south and south-east, lighter winds, clearer skies, so it's likely we'll
00:31see some mist and fog patches by the morning, and feeling a little bit chillier here too.
00:35The sun's warm enough now to clear away any mist and fog fairly quickly, but brighter
00:39skies will soon be replaced by cloud as this system continues to sink its way southwards,
00:43but any rain largely becoming light and fairly isolated, so it should remain fairly dry.
00:48And turning brighter across Scotland, Northern Ireland, some sunny spells here, and largely
00:52dry, though once again a few showers just skirting the northern isles, but feeling warm
00:56in that sunshine, highs of around 14-15 degrees celsius, and even across the south where we
01:01see more cloud, it's still fairly mild for the time of year.
01:06Now into the evening, we'll eventually say goodbye to that cloud and rain across the
01:09south-east as that system pulls away, and then we see a ridge of high pressure start
01:13to build, so that means Tuesday night there's going to be a few more clearer skies, but
01:16once again that means it's just going to turn that little bit chillier, and it's likely
01:19we'll see quite widespread mist and fog by the morning. And a fairly chillier start compared
01:24to what we had this morning, lows of around 3-4 celsius, but perhaps a little bit lower
01:29across rural spots in clearer skies.
01:33Any mist and fog once again clearing fairly quickly, and it should lead to quite a fine
01:37start across the country on Wednesday. Fairly light winds, though still quite blustery across
01:42the north-west, and that's where we're going to start to see a change once again, so fairly
01:46strong winds, more cloud and outbreaks of rain just starting to peak into western parts
01:50of Scotland and Northern Ireland, but elsewhere remaining dry, perhaps just some fair weather
01:55cloud by the afternoon, but feeling very mild. Highs of 16 degrees across central and southern
01:59areas, but we may possibly get to 17 or 18 across parts of the south-east, but temperatures
02:04just struggling a little bit more across western parts of Scotland where we see more cloud
02:08and rain move through.
02:11Then for the rest of the week, I'm afraid it's going to be turning a little bit more
02:13changeable, more cloud and rain on the cards, a few more ice bars on the charts, so it could
02:18start to turn quite windy by the time we reach Wednesday, and another system moving through,
02:22dragging in some more cloud and rain for the end of the week. So, if you do manage to see
02:26some sunshine over the next couple of days, well, my advice would be to enjoy it. Bye-bye.
