00:00Welcome to your weather for the

00:02week ahead from the Met Office, a

00:03week ahead that promises plenty of

00:05blue sky, lots of September

00:07sunshine on offer and not

00:09much rain.

00:10Most places will be dry through

00:12much of this week.

00:13This time of year, though, the

00:14nights are long enough for things

00:15to turn a bit misty overnight.

00:17So maybe a few fog patches here

00:19and there, especially later on in

00:21the week. When we're talking dry

00:22and sunny weather, we're usually

00:24talking high pressure.

00:25And that's what we've got this

00:27week, a big area of high pressure

00:29ambling in across the country

00:31and sticking around through

00:32Wednesday, through Thursday.

00:34By Friday, it just starts to

00:35wobble its way a little bit

00:37further eastwards.

00:38And that might allow us

00:40to draw up some warm air from

00:42the near continent with southerly

00:44winds pushing in.

00:45So temperatures could be rising by

00:47Friday and maybe for the first

00:49part of the weekend.

00:51Let's rewind the clock, though,

00:52and break down the weather

00:54day by day.

00:55We're not completely cloud and

00:57rain free.

00:58There is this weather front across

00:59the far south initially on

01:01Tuesday, bringing maybe some patchy

01:03rain across Cornwall and the

01:04Channel Islands.

01:05But it is shrinking away to

01:06the south and there will be showers

01:08at the opposite end of the country

01:09as well over the Northern Isles,

01:11possibly Aberdeenshire.

01:12One or two scattered showers on

01:14Tuesday.

01:14But for most, it's dry, it's fine,

01:16it's sunny. It'll be a chilly start

01:18on Tuesday.

01:19By the afternoon in the sunshine,

01:20temperatures getting into the mid

01:22to high teens, maybe 20 degrees

01:24across the south with light winds.

01:25That should feel fairly pleasant.

01:27It will cloud over in the far

01:29northwest.

01:29Here we have a weather front just

01:32trying to trickle its way into

01:34the north of Scotland on Tuesday

01:36night and into Wednesday.

01:37A bit of uncertainty about the

01:38timing of that weather front,

01:40but it does look like bringing a

01:42fair bit of clouds and some rain at

01:43times over the Highlands, the

01:45Northern and Western Isles during

01:47Wednesday.

01:47The central belt southwards, though,

01:49it is a dry and a fine day.

01:50Could start a bit misty, maybe the

01:52old fog patch here and there, but

01:53it should clear away quite quickly.

01:56A fair bit of cloud at times across

01:57northern England, southern Scotland,

01:59but generally dry and bright.

02:00And with some sunshine in the south,

02:02temperatures again getting up to 20

02:03degrees. Spot the difference on

02:05Thursday.

02:06Maybe a bit more mist and fog,

02:07particularly Northern Ireland, parts

02:08of northern England, maybe Wales.

02:10Still some patchy rain in northern

02:12Scotland, but probably not

02:14as wet here as it will

02:16be on Wednesday.

02:17Just a few showers, really.

02:18Again, for the majority, it's

02:20dry, it's bright and temperatures

02:22just creeping up a little bit by

02:23Thursday, particularly across the

02:25south. We could be more

02:27likely into the low 20s.

02:29Typically, though, we're into the

02:30high teens, feeling fairly

02:32pleasant in that afternoon sunshine

02:34after a chilly old morning.

02:36Now it's Thursday and into Friday

02:37that the high pressure itself just

02:39starts to push a little bit further

02:41eastward. Signs of change as

02:43weather fronts are gathering

02:45out in the Atlantic.

02:46But for most places, still

02:48high pressure in control.

02:49It could make for a bit more fog

02:52in the morning on Friday morning.

02:54Just bear that in mind for Friday

02:55morning's commute.

02:56But overall, it's looking dry again

02:58on Friday and with the wind starting

03:00to pick up from the south

03:02across particularly western areas.

03:04Well, it could feel a bit warmer on

03:05Friday too.

03:06Again, there'll be some cloud

03:07milling around here and there across

03:09parts of the east, but generally

03:11expect plenty of sunshine and those

03:12temperatures responding to a bit

03:14more sunshine as warmer air starts

03:16to waft its way further north.

03:18More likely to see temperatures up

03:19to 20 degrees more widely,

03:21perhaps up into the mid 20s in

03:23one or two spots.

03:24That sunshine should hang on

03:26into the first part of the weekend.

03:28But it has to be said, there's a lot

03:30of uncertainty about how things

03:32change through the weekend.

03:33We are expecting it to turn windier

03:35and possibly wetter during the

03:37weekend too.

03:38That's a long way off and it's

03:40fairly typical to be a bit

03:42uncertain about the weekend at this

03:44stage. So the message is stay tuned

03:46if you have plans for the weekend,

03:48but also make the most of the fine

03:49weather for much of this week.

03:51All the very latest details will be

03:53across our channels on social media

03:55and YouTube.
