00:00Lots more fine weather to come for most of us as we go through today and tomorrow as well.
00:05Plenty of sunshine on offer and we got off to a bright start.
00:09The earlier satellite image, well I have put radar imagery on here as well,
00:13but you can see it's been completely dry so far.
00:16And the earlier satellite image shows just how clear it's been.
00:19Barely a cloud in the sky for most of us.
00:21Some high level cloud around across parts of Wales into southern England
00:25and there were a few pockets of fog, but with the clear skies it was a frosty start for some of us,
00:29particularly the prone rural spots did get to minus five last night.
00:32As we go through the rest of today though, still some high level cloud around,
00:36so some hazy sunshine, some milky sunshine across southern parts in particular,
00:40even elsewhere a few clouds bubbling up here and there,
00:43but most of the cloud really confined to just the far north of Scotland, Orkney, Shetland,
00:47the far north of mainland Scotland as well, seeing a bit of cloud here.
00:51Temperature wise, while they are similar to yesterday, perhaps a little bit higher for some places,
00:56west is best when it comes to the highest temperatures, 17, 18, possibly 19 Celsius,
01:01a little bit fresher further east.
01:03The wind is coming in from the North Sea, so that will make it feel that bit fresher,
01:07but it's not especially strong, the wind at the moment.
01:11Later on, as we go through the evening and overnight, the cloud across the far north of Scotland,
01:15that is gradually going to push its way a little bit further southward.
01:18So northern and eastern Scotland turning cloudier, also down the eastern side of England as well.
01:23Some low cloud, some mist, some murk, some fog perhaps mixed in with this as well.
01:28Further west, clear skies again, so similar to last night, a touch of frost in prone rural spots,
01:34we're talking minus 4, minus 5 maybe over some parts of the sheltered glens of Scotland,
01:39and we are also going to see a few pockets of mist and fog perhaps in the west where we get those clearer skies.
01:45But the murkiest weather will be down this eastern part,
01:48and so here it is going to be quite grey for a time, first thing tomorrow.
01:52As we go through the day, I'm expecting a lot of this cloud, this murkiness to burn back,
01:57and so it should turn increasingly sunny, but some eastern coastal parts here,
02:01the cloud's going to be pretty nagging, it's going to last through much of the day,
02:06and as a result it's actually going to feel quite chilly here.
02:09The winds in the east and also in the south, but the winds in the east will be a little bit stronger tomorrow than today,
02:14so that's going to add to the chilly feel here.
02:16Elsewhere, well with plenty of sunshine, particularly as we go through into the afternoon,
02:20it is going to again feel relatively warm, temperatures similar to today, so mid to high teens for most of us.
02:26And as we go through later on this week, we are going to see a slight shift in our wind direction by Thursday,
02:32and so that means eastern parts where it's chilly, cloudy on Wednesday,
02:36will be markedly warmer, some places rising by around 10 to 12 degrees,
02:40most of us though on Thursday having a decent, fine and warm day.
02:44By the end of the week, a bit of drizzly rain likely to be pushing its way into the far north of the UK,
02:49most places though staying settled for now.
02:52But over the weekend, we are going to see something, well it is going to turn a little bit wetter,
02:57and some more unsettled weather as we go into the start of next week as well.
03:01Anna will have more information about this and what we can expect with UV pollen levels in her deep dive,
03:07so do check that out, it will be available on both our app and our YouTube channel later on this afternoon.
03:11Bye bye.
