00:00Hello. Welcome to your weather for

00:02the week ahead from the Met Office.

00:04If you like blue skies and like

00:05sunshine, you're going to enjoy

00:07the next few days.

00:08Start with a cautionary note,

00:09though, just because it's not

00:11spectacularly hot doesn't mean

00:12the sun isn't strong.

00:14UV levels will be high this week.

00:16You will need the sunscreen on

00:18because, yes, plenty of sunshine

00:19on offer for the next few days.

00:21And by day, it will be just

00:23getting a little bit warmer as

00:24well. The nights will still be on

00:26the cool side.

00:27When will it change?

00:28How long is the sunshine going to

00:29last? Well, it looks like until

00:32probably around about Friday.

00:33That's when we're most likely to

00:34start to see some changes with

00:36more cloud around.

00:37And certainly it looks a bit

00:38cooler as we go into the weekend.

00:41But before we get there, it's this

00:43large area of high pressure

00:45controlling things.

00:46Weather fronts out in the Atlantic

00:47trying to make inroads,

00:49but generally failing.

00:51As the ice bars just squeeze

00:52together a little bit, there will

00:53be a bit of a brisk breeze at

00:55times through the English Channel

00:57and across Western Scotland,

00:59particularly through the Western

01:00Isles. But for most places, Tuesday

01:01is a cracking day.

01:03If you like blue sky, lots of

01:04it on offer.

01:05Some cloud will bubble up through

01:07the day, but generally it is sunny

01:09spells and actually feeling

01:10a bit warmer by the afternoon.

01:12Tuesday sees temperatures widely

01:14up to the high teens.

01:15One or two spots getting into the

01:17lower 20s.

01:18So, yes, a touch warmer on Tuesday.

01:20The warmest day, probably most

01:22widely, will be on Wednesday.

01:24I fancy when we're more likely to

01:25see temperatures in the highlands

01:27of Scotland getting up to 23, maybe

01:2824 Celsius.

01:29Always a bit cooler around some

01:31coasts. It really does depend

01:33on the wind direction, the position

01:35of the high. But again, it looks

01:36like it'll be fairly breezy across

01:38Devon, Cornwall, Western parts

01:40of Northern Ireland and the Western

01:41Isles of Scotland.

01:42Elsewhere, the winds will be fairly

01:43light, could get some sea breezes

01:45developing and there will be some

01:47cloud again bubbling up inland.

01:49But for most, it is another

01:51fine day on Wednesday with plenty

01:52of sunshine.

01:54We start to notice that high just

01:56slipping to the north by the time we

01:57get to Thursday and notice

01:59again those isobars is getting

02:00closer together, more of an easterly

02:02breeze coming in by Thursday,

02:05which will be most noticeable, I

02:06suspect, across East Anglia and the

02:08southeast. So it will be turning a

02:09bit cooler here by then.

02:11Again, some cloud will bubble up

02:13through the day and again

02:15temperatures across the northwest

02:17probably peaking in the low 20s.

02:19But elsewhere, just maybe a touch

02:21cooler on Thursday with

02:22that cooler feel, particularly

02:24across East Anglia and the southeast.

02:25Temperatures not as high here and

02:27generally we're back to the

02:29high teens.

02:30But again, as I said, the highlands

02:31could get into the low 20s.

02:33Now, that area of high pressure is

02:35slowly slipping further away by

02:37Friday and low pressure is

02:39just getting closer and closer.

02:40Quite a few isobars across the

02:42charts on Friday.

02:43And then we're looking at weather

02:44systems coming in from the east.

02:46Now, when weather's coming in from

02:48the east, there's always a bit more

02:49uncertainty than usual.

02:50It's not a typical direction,

02:52but that change to more of an

02:54easterly flow means

02:56certainly this could be turning

02:57cooler through Friday and

02:59the weekend. Temperatures won't be

03:00anything like as high and there

03:02will be more cloud around with an

03:03increasing chance of seeing some

03:05showers. The details of where

03:07we see the rain showers

03:09still uncertain at this stage.

03:10So make sure you stay up to date.

03:12But certainly for the next few days,

03:14some sunshine, some strong sunshine

03:16on the cards.
