00:00Hi there and welcome to the latest forecast for the week ahead from the Met Office.

00:05A mixed week of meteorology to mull over this week with often cloudy skies, some rain at

00:10times but away from the cloudier zones, sunny spells as well.

00:16These cloudier zones brought about by weather fronts which will topple north-west to south-east

00:21across the country.

00:22First couple of fronts there evident on Tuesday morning bringing spells of rain for southern

00:28Scotland and Northern Ireland first thing before the wind and rain push into parts of

00:33Northern England and North Wales by late morning or lunchtime.

00:38However the rain by this stage mostly it's going to be persistent over western hills

00:43and coasts through these central zones with some decent drier weather to the east of higher

00:49ground so north-east England for example.

00:51But grey skies and often damp through this central slice whilst Scotland and Northern

00:56Ireland brightens up on Tuesday afternoon with some sunny spells but also blustery showers

01:00mainly northern and western Scotland where there will be some heavy downpours and some

01:06gusty winds.

01:07To the south again foggy start to Tuesday across south-east England but the skies brightening

01:12by the afternoon and in the sunshine feeling quite pleasant I think 15 or 16 Celsius possible

01:18in the south-east by Tuesday afternoon but fresher feel there for Scotland and Northern

01:24Ireland with those blustery showers.

01:25Skip forward to Wednesday and some small progress with the weather front sinking south

01:31some heavier rain for a time midlands perhaps east Anglia, south-western areas and a lot

01:36of low cloud in this area with some hill fog to start things off.

01:40Perhaps some brighter skies into Kent but further north that's where the brightest skies

01:44will be.

01:45North Wales, northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland again a few showers but mostly

01:48north-west England, northern and western Scotland again a gusty breeze 10 to 12 in the north

01:5413, 14 further south.

01:58And on Thursday, Armistice Day we start off with low clouds some patchy rain and drizzle

02:02some hill fog as well so dull and damp start here.

02:06This zone of low cloud tends to creep north whilst another area of cloud and some drizzly

02:11rain also across central parts will drift north but in between some sunshine northern

02:16England, north-east Scotland and temperatures similar to Wednesday but a change on the way

02:21By the end of the day the wind picks up, rain starts to push in from the west and the next

02:27low appears on the horizon.

02:29Now there's some uncertainty about how far north and south this low will track on Friday

02:34and that will make a difference in terms of how far south the more unsettled weather will

02:37reach during Friday.

02:39But it certainly looks likely that Scotland, northern Ireland, northern England, perhaps

02:43north Wales as well will see some wet and windy weather sweep through during Friday

02:47itself.

02:48A lot of cloud in the north, the rain heavy at times, gales for exposed northern and western

02:53coasts.

02:54But further south actually a brighter start to the day for southern parts of England,

02:58south Wales with sunny spells continuing into the afternoon.

03:0213s and 14s in the south with the unsettled weather further north 10 to 13 Celsius not

03:07feeling very pleasant.

03:09But the low pressure and those weather fronts do move through and so later Friday things

03:15begin to settle down as that low drifts into the North Sea.

03:19And for the start of the weekend this large ridge of high pressure begins to build across

03:23the country and so that will certainly settle things down for Saturday and indeed for Sunday.

03:29I think we'll start off with a lot of cloud this weekend but with that high pressure in

03:33charge most places will be fine and hopefully it will start to brighten up as well through

03:38Saturday and Sunday with a bit more sunshine coming through.

03:41And of course with clear skies at night a greater chance of fog and frost.

03:45Follow us on social media and we'll keep you updated with all the latest but that's all

03:48from me for now.

03:49Bye bye.
