00:00Hello. Welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Dry and cloudy sums up

00:05the weather, not just through Monday night and Tuesday, but indeed for most of the rest

00:09of this week. It's not completely dry. That cloud is thick enough for a little drizzle

00:13here and there, particularly around some coast and hills across parts of Scotland. But for

00:17most, I say, we'll just keep a blanket of cloud, which will help to keep the temperatures

00:21up. Now, we have seen some breaks in the cloud across the southeast where they persist. It

00:25could turn a little foggy as we go through the night. And with some clearer skies, we

00:28could see those temperatures dipping down to four or five degrees, maybe a little lower

00:33across parts of Scotland. But as you can see, most towns and cities staying up at eight

00:38or nine Celsius. So quite a mild start to Tuesday, a pretty drab start to Tuesday. Still

00:43some light rain and drizzle here and there over the hills, over the Pennines, perhaps

00:47the east coast of Scotland. And through the day, we could see that cloud thickening further

00:50west to provide a little bit of drizzle, particularly again over high ground and around coast parts

00:55of Pembrokeshire and maybe come the afternoon into the east of Northern Ireland, a few spots

00:59of drizzle. But the vast majority will stay dry. Most will also stay pretty cloudy, but

01:05it should get a little brighter through the day. Some breaks in the cloud across the southeast

01:09and especially northern Scotland could do all right for sunshine here come the afternoon.

01:13If we see any fog across the southeast, that could take quite a while to clear and that

01:17will suppress the temperatures. But where we see a bit of sunshine poking through North

01:21Wales, northern Scotland, 14, 15 degrees is possible. For most, though, it's just going

01:26to stay cloudy, which means temperatures will be close to the average 11 or 12 degrees Celsius.

01:31Now, Tuesday evening, if you're heading out to see some fireworks, well, good news is

01:37that most places will be dry. We'll keep a lot of cloud, which will also help to keep

01:41the temperatures up. So not especially cold either. Again, some light rain and drizzle

01:45is possible here and there. And the breeze will be picking up in the far northwest. I

01:49will like to see a little bit more in the way of showery rain drifting in here as we

01:53go through the early hours of Wednesday morning. But for most, again, we'll keep a lot of cloud

01:58and that'll keep those temperatures up. And that's how we're looking for Wednesday. Some

02:02patchy rain maybe across the Western Isles early on. That should scoot away. Again, some

02:07light rain and drizzle here and there around coast and hills, particularly in the west.

02:10But most will be dry and cloudy, maybe a bit more fog around on Wednesday mornings. Often

02:15the case after the bonfires of the 5th of November, the 6th of November morning is often

02:22fairly murky. So there could be some more mist and fog around. But once that's cleared

02:27away, temperatures in the afternoon with a bit of brightness again climbing into the

02:31teens where it stays cloudy, 12 or 13 at the top temperature. Not a great deal of change

02:36through the rest of this week. High pressure continues to dominate. Sitting to the east,

02:41weather fronts trying to push in from the west and maybe making a bit more progress.

02:45The ice is about squidging together as well. So the winds will be picking up in western

02:48areas and this weather front may bring a little bit of rain into parts of the west come Friday.

02:54But for much of the country, most of the week stays dry and cloudy. You can see our full
