00:00Hello there, very good evening to you. I hope you've had a lovely weekend. As we transition

00:05into the new week there are two competing factors in our weather. High pressure in the

00:10south east and low pressure up towards the north west are trying to provide two very

00:15different themes. In the middle there's a very tight squeeze in the ice bars particularly

00:20for northern areas of Scotland this evening and overnight. We're going to see some very

00:23strong gusts of wind, severe gales around for a time as this cold front pushes its way

00:27in. Whilst these south westerly winds are strong they're also very mild because if we

00:33trace those ice bars all the way back the source region for those winds is all the way

00:37down in the Atlantic filtering in some very mild conditions for the time of year. So certainly

00:43next week is going to be noticeably less cold for many of us compared to the one we've just

00:47experienced. If we just rewind back then to Sunday evening and for now it's still a few

00:53hours away before we see that cold front eventually pushing into the far north west

00:57but still some outbreaks of lighter rain and drizzle around for Scotland and Northern Ireland

01:01and the widely cloudy skies. A few clearer spells across England and Wales that will

01:06allow for a touch of patchy frost to develop during the forthcoming night, particularly

01:10eastern Wales down towards south eastern parts of England as well. Temperatures otherwise

01:15managing to hold up just around freezing, about 1-3 degrees celsius in some of our towns

01:20and cities. This cool theme will continue throughout the day in the more central and

01:25southern areas on Monday. There could be a few isolated mist and fog patches first thing

01:29as well that will take a little bit of time to eventually clear their way off. It should

01:33stay mostly dry here, meanwhile the rain in the north west will turn heavier for a time

01:37particularly around higher ground sites and we'll start to see it push into the far north

01:41west of England, also around Anglesey and north western Wales during the afternoon period

01:46as well. But this frontal system is going to act as a boundary line for our temperatures.

01:52Those strong but mild south westerly winds are going to start feeding in double digit

01:57temperatures right across the board for Scotland and Northern Ireland, even under the widely

02:01gusty conditions. Further towards the south and east it's still a little cooler, 5-7 degrees

02:07celsius here is closer towards average for the time of year. During Monday night and

02:12into Tuesday this frontal system is going to slowly weaken but also stall across more

02:18central areas of the UK. It's still going to provide that boundary line between our

02:23temperatures so as we start off on Tuesday morning again we've got a north to south contrast

02:28in things. Much milder across Scotland and Northern Ireland but maybe still a patchy

02:32frost in more rural areas across the far south of England. Again a few isolated mist and

02:37fog patches are possible here first thing on Tuesday just to watch out for. But with

02:42the rain now easing it's mainly going to be light and drizzly outbreaks across some

02:46hills so Airdrie, the Pennines, parts of the Lake District, also for the Highland District

02:51as well. The best chance of some sunshine on Tuesday at the moment is looking like for

02:55some far southern coastal areas and coastal districts of England. Also some eastern areas

03:02of Scotland should hopefully see some brighter and sunnier spells developing at times. Those

03:07temperatures then ranging from 8 to 12 degrees Celsius but not quite in the way you'd normally

03:12expect it with northern areas still seeing the most mildest of them. And that north to

03:18south topsy-turvy nature is going to continue right throughout the forthcoming week so do

03:23stay up to date with the forecast and we'll be able to provide more details on all of

03:27that and we'll see you again here later on. Bye bye.
