00:00Good morning, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Storm Ashley continues

00:05to bring some heavy rain and strong winds to much of the UK today, with the band of

00:09rain that we can see out there at the moment pushing its way eastwards quite quickly this

00:12morning due to those brisk southwesterly winds. Irish sea coastal regions could see gusts

00:17of 50-60mph through much of the day, but western parts of Scotland will see those winds increasing,

00:23particularly during the afternoon. We could see gusts here of 70-80mph. As that band of

00:28rain pushes its way eastwards, it will turn a little drier with some sunny spells across

00:31much of England and Wales, but another area of rain then arrives across Northern Ireland

00:35and western parts of Scotland through the afternoon. Temperatures on Sunday will be

00:39pretty similar to what we saw on Saturday, 17 or 18 degrees in the south, 14 or 15 further

00:45north, so well above average for the time of year, but with those strong southwesterly

00:49winds definitely feeling a little cooler than it did yesterday. Through the rest of Sunday

00:54evening, remaining very windy across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Irish sea

00:58coastal regions, continuing to see those gusts of 50-60mph. The next area of rain arrives

01:03across parts of Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland, turning particularly heavy across

01:07the high ground of Scotland and turning more showery as it pushes its way eastwards during

01:11the early hours of Monday. The winds gradually easing into the start of Monday, but still

01:15remaining quite blustery, particularly for the northern half of Scotland, and turning

01:18a little cloudier through the early hours for much of England and Wales as well. Some

01:22outbreaks of rain across the very far south coast. With all that cloud and those strong

01:27winds, temperatures still holding up well into the double figures for much of the UK

01:30into the start of Monday. We could see 12 or 13 degrees in the south and 10 or 11 further

01:35north, perhaps a little cooler across the very far northwest though. For many of us,

01:40that does mean quite a blustery, cloudy and damp start to the day on Monday morning, turning

01:44a little drier from the west as we go through the morning period. Northern parts of England,

01:48Wales, southwest England, turning a little drier with some sunny spells in towards the

01:52afternoon, but still remaining quite cloudy across the very far southeast. This next area

01:56of rain just skirting the southeast coast, bringing some heavy downpours at times and

02:01still remaining very showery for much of Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. And temperatures

02:05will be a little closer to average for the time of year, maybe 12 or 13 further north

02:09and 15 or 16 further south. But with some lighter winds and a bit more sunshine around,

02:13maybe feeling a little more pleasant than it did on Sunday. It is still going to remain

02:18unsettled through into the middle part of next week, so do make sure you subscribe to
