00:00Good afternoon, well it's going to be another very windy day out there as Storm Darragh
00:05has cleared its way south and eastwards. Taking a look at the bigger picture then, this is
00:09the storm that is clearing its way through, but we still have a real squeeze in those
00:14isobars indicating some strong and gusty winds, but higher pressure is toppling through as
00:20we go Monday and into Tuesday too, with still some strong winds across the south coast.
00:27So through this afternoon we have a wind warning still valid, we've got gusts of up to 35,
00:32possibly 45mph inland and along the exposed coast we could see gusts of 50-60mph. It's
00:40going to be a damp afternoon as well to come across many parts of central England into
00:45north eastern England and across the south east, perhaps with some heavy showers developing.
00:49Further towards the west though, lighter winds compared to Saturday and drier too, we may
00:55see some sunshine especially across south western parts of Wales and south west England.
01:00The best of the sunshine though, across Northern Ireland and western Scotland here with lighter
01:06winds too. As for temperatures, we could see highs of up to 10 or 11 degrees across the
01:11south west, but underneath all this cloud, rain and strong northerly winds, it's actually
01:18going to be feeling colder than what the numbers are showing here. So as we go through Sunday
01:23evening, the winds will gradually start easing, cloud will gradually start spilling in further
01:28towards south western parts of England with outbreaks of rain on and off. The best of
01:34the clear skies though, across Northern Ireland and Scotland and here underneath the ridge
01:39of higher pressure, temperatures will quickly fall away underneath the light winds too and
01:44we could see a touch of frost, but perhaps even some freezing fog patches across Scotland.
01:50Further towards the south, temperatures generally holding up with a lot of cloud around and
01:54still holding on to that brisk wind. So as we start Monday morning then, we have higher
02:00pressure dominating across northern parts, but we still have a real squeeze in the ice
02:05abaths further towards the south, so it is still going to be quite a blustery day as
02:10we go through Monday. But a bright start across Scotland with a touch of frost and across
02:15Northern Ireland too. Further towards England and Wales, we still hold on to quite a lot
02:21of cloud, outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times, but hopefully less, a little bit settled
02:27compared to what we've seen over the weekend. Otherwise, temperatures are going to be feeling
02:32cold across Scotland, but otherwise highs of up to 8 or 9 degrees across parts of England.
02:40So as we look ahead to the week then, we do have higher pressure building in, the winds
02:45will be easing as well, but we still hold on to quite a lot of cloud. But for more details
