00:00Hello, welcome to your latest update from the Met Office.

00:03Plenty more September sunshine for most parts of the country

00:07today.

00:08Light winds for most of us as well,

00:09but it is clouding over in Western Scotland.

00:12It's getting quite windy here, with the strongest winds

00:15overnight.

00:16Here's the big pitch.

00:17You can see quite a lot of cloud on the satellite image,

00:19but this is mostly very high cirrus, very thin cloud,

00:23and it's just making the sunshine a little hazy

00:25in places.

00:26But the cloud is thickening in Western Scotland,

00:28a bit of drizzly rain pushing into the Western Isles,

00:31trickling into the Highlands as well.

00:33Maybe the odd spot in the northwest of Northern Ireland

00:35as well.

00:36But for most places, dry and fine.

00:37Some cloud will bubble up through the day.

00:40Most places hanging on to the hazy sunshine, though.

00:43And it is pretty warm.

00:44It's been a very warm September.

00:45That continues widely over 20 Celsius,

00:49certainly across most of England and Wales.

00:50And in Northeast Scotland, 22, maybe 23 Celsius here,

00:54but cooler with that wetter weather in the Northwest.

00:57Now, most of that rain fairly light,

00:58as it trickles its way southwards.

01:00But later in the night, a more active weather front

01:03swings in.

01:03That'll bring some heavy rain to the northwest of Scotland

01:07and also some gusty winds.

01:08Overnight gusts of 15 in exposed places,

01:11maybe as much as 60 miles an hour.

01:14Further south, though, the winds stay fairly light,

01:17a bit breezier than last night.

01:18That will help to prevent mist and fog for many.

01:20But with the lightest winds in the south here,

01:22some mist and fog patches are likely

01:24across Southern England and South Wales to start Wednesday

01:27morning, and it will turn quite chilly as well

01:29with those clear skies, certainly

01:31across the Midlands, parts of Southern England,

01:33temperatures down into single digits.

01:36On to the details for Wednesday, and for many,

01:38it's another fine day.

01:39We will start, I suspect, with more clouds

01:41across parts of Northern England,

01:43maybe the odd spot of rain.

01:44Quite a wet day in Western Scotland,

01:46but it'll take most of the day before that rain

01:48creeps its way slowly towards Glasgow,

01:51and eventually some rain arriving

01:52on the north coast of Northern Ireland.

01:54But Belfast, Edinburgh, probably staying dry and bright

01:57throughout, and certainly across the south,

01:59plenty more sunny spells.

02:00And the far north of Scotland will actually brighten up

02:02after a wet start to the day.

02:05Still quite windy, although the strongest winds

02:06will be overnight, but a gusty day at times

02:09across Northern Britain, making it feel a little cooler,

02:12even though temperatures will still be above average.

02:14And further south, we're again looking at temperatures

02:17widely over 20 Celsius, 23 as possible across the southeast.

02:22That rain band will spread into central Scotland

02:24during Wednesday evening, and we'll

02:26see some outbreaks of rain trickling southwards

02:28across Northern Ireland also, and some showers

02:31following into the far north, where

02:32it stays pretty blustery.

02:34In fact, it's going to be quite windy through the rest

02:36of this week across Northern Britain.

02:38Weather systems moving in here.

02:40Weather fronts at times bringing some showery rain,

02:42but all the time, this area of high pressure

02:44keeping things mostly fine across the south.

02:48So a bit of a north-south split through the rest of this week.

02:50Many places will stay dry and bright with sunny spells,

02:54but certainly across the north, it will be windy at times.

02:56But overall, although there'll be some chilly mornings,

02:59temperatures remain above average for the time of year.
