00:00High pressure is dominating the weather across the UK this week.

00:03What does that mean?

00:04That means largely dry and sunny conditions and temperatures will be on their way up,

00:09up into the mid-twenties by the middle of the week for some spots.

00:12But until then, Tuesday morning starts off rather chilly,

00:15with areas of mist and fog particularly around the east of Wales,

00:18the Midlands, over towards the north-east of England.

00:20Rather cloudy with patchy light rain and drizzle as well across the north-west of Scotland.

00:24But going into the afternoon, the mist and fog should clear

00:27and there will be plenty of sunshine across the UK,

00:30feeling pleasantly warm in the strong September sunshine too,

00:33and the light winds, especially across southern and south-western areas.

00:37Eastern coastal counties will be somewhat cooler near the brunt of the easterly winds,

00:41and the northern and western isles of Scotland will stay quite cloudy and cool.

00:45Going into Tuesday night, and there will be the return of mist and fog,

00:48especially across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England,

00:51as well as low clouds rolling in off the North Sea across much of England,

00:55and it will be a chilly night.

00:56But through Wednesday morning, a lot of that clears away,

00:59and we'll see lots of sunshine by Wednesday afternoon once again.

01:02And again, it will be another warm day, especially across parts of the south.
