00:00Hi there. A lot of cloud around as we start the new week, certainly a contrast for many

00:06of us compared with Sunday's weather. This is the satellite and radar from the start

00:10of Sunday, extensive sunshine for England, Wales, East and Scotland. But through Sunday

00:14outbreaks of rain and cloud pushed south-eastwards and that meant that by Monday morning we've

00:21got these spells of increasingly light and patchy rain spreading south-eastwards across

00:28the country and cloud cover for most of us. That cloud will be low across western areas

00:33so some hill fog and mist and some persistent drizzle over western hills whilst these other

00:39bands of rain increasingly weaken as they push south-eastwards. But just about anyone

00:44could see a few spots of rain during the rest of Monday and with the cloud cover as well

00:49and this Atlantic airflow is going to be mild, 15 to in some places 17 or even 18 Celsius.

00:57Again because we keep the cloud overnight it is going to be a mild night. There will

01:01be a few breaks in the cloud, somewhat random where these occur across southern parts of

01:07the UK. More reliably, eastern Scotland, north-east England seeing some breaks as the cloud tends

01:14to thin out over the hills. But for most, because of the absence of cloud breaks, temperatures

01:19will stay in the double figures. I will keep some spots of rain going, especially for western

01:24Scotland, Northern Ireland, western parts of England and Wales, one or two spots elsewhere.

01:29But actually Tuesday promises somewhat brighter skies for many compared with Monday, certainly

01:36for England and Wales, eastern Scotland, north-east England. A few light showers continuing but

01:41otherwise it is a benign set-up really as we go through Tuesday. Similar temperatures in the

01:47afternoon as well. Some more persistent rain into the far north-west of Scotland mind you

01:52by the end of the afternoon and into the evening. But you can see how those cloud breaks

01:56are becoming a little more extensive across England and Wales as well as eastern Scotland

02:01as we end Tuesday evening. And because of that, well actually there will be some fog forming.

02:05We've got light winds, high pressure building during Tuesday and into Wednesday. That high

02:11pressure is here to stay for some time, diverting weather fronts well to the north. However,

02:17high pressure doesn't always mean sunny skies and certainly will start off Wednesday with

02:21fog in places and further cloud cover, especially through Northern Ireland, parts of central

02:27Scotland, northern England to the far south and the far north, perhaps some sunshine at times.

02:32A little cooler on Wednesday as well, 13 to 15 Celsius. It's more or the same through Thursday

02:38and into Friday for many of us. A lot of clouds, some mist and fog in the mornings,

02:42but also plenty of dry weather. Bye-bye.
