00:00Hello, welcome to your national weather updates.

00:03We'll all see a bit of sunshine over the next few days,

00:05but I think most of us will also see some heavy downpours,

00:09welcome rain in some locations, of course.

00:11Here's the reason why.

00:12This big swirl of cloud on a satellite picture

00:15is a large area of low pressure.

00:17One band of rain is clearing to the north,

00:19another one approaching to the southwest,

00:21but actually, most places are in between.

00:24And so for many, it's a dry and a fine day

00:26across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland,

00:28Northern and Eastern England, a few showers,

00:30perhaps across the southeast,

00:32but it's more to the southwest of England and South Wales

00:35where some heavy thundery showers

00:38are likely to develop through the afternoon.

00:40Temperature-wise, well, in the sunshine,

00:42feeling pretty warm actually for the time of year,

00:4425, maybe 26 across East Anglia.

00:47Obviously, temperature will drop off

00:49when the showers come along and feeling cooler

00:51with the brisk breeze across the northeast of Scotland

00:53and the winds strengthening down to the southwest.

00:57These heavy showers move in.

00:59Some real downpours are likely to develop

01:01and slowly push northwards into parts of the Midlands.

01:04We have issued a yellow weather warning,

01:07certainly a lot of spray,

01:08a lot of surface water on the roads,

01:09parts of the M4 and the M5 in particular.

01:12Fairly tricky driving conditions through this evening.

01:16As we go through the evening and overnight,

01:18those heavy showers will continue to drift northwards

01:20into parts of Northern England and Northern Ireland.

01:23We'll see a few more heavy showers

01:24getting across parts of Eastern England as well.

01:27Again, they will be hit and miss.

01:29So if you're looking for rain, it's no guarantee,

01:31but we are looking at some downpours across Eastern England

01:34extending into Eastern Scotland by morning time.

01:37So you may get woken up by a flash of lightning

01:40or a rumble of thunder.

01:41It's going to be another pretty warm night as well,

01:43with temperatures generally holding up in the mid-teens.

01:46On to Tuesday, and it's a kind of similar story actually,

01:49looking down to the southwest

01:51for further heavy showers to develop.

01:53The wind's coming up from the south,

01:54but perhaps a few more showers tomorrow

01:57across Northern England and Southern Scotland,

01:59where they'll be on and off for most of the day.

02:01And then here come the next raft of heavy showers

02:04being thrown northwards by that area of low pressure.

02:08And by the end of the afternoon,

02:09covering much of England and Wales.

02:11Again, hit and miss, but again,

02:13likely to be heavy thunder thrown in,

02:16hail and lightning also potentially causing some issues.

02:19So yes, plenty going on over the next couple of days.

02:22It will still be another fairly mild day,

02:24feeling quite humid,

02:25ticking the east with some sunshine, 24, 25 degrees.

02:29Generally elsewhere, we're looking at high teens or low 20s,

02:32a bit more cloud tomorrow, not quite as much sunshine.

02:35And there will be more showers as well,

02:36which continue to get thrown northwards

02:38during Tuesday evening on gusty winds across the southwest,

02:42staying fairly windy across the northeast as well

02:45with further showers coming in here.

02:47And you can see just all spiraling around

02:49this area of low pressure,

02:51which not just dominates our weather

02:52for the next couple of days,

02:54but throughout this week,

02:55it will continue to maybe move a little closer to the UK.

02:59The isobar is opening up a touch to the winds,

03:00perhaps not quite as strong towards the end of the week,

03:02but with that low sitting over us,

03:04further heavy thundery showers

03:06likely on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

03:10So yes, showers throughout this week,

03:11some thunderstorms in places.

03:13Keep up to date with the latest weather warnings.
