00:00Hello there, very good morning to you. This week is all about topsy-turvy temperatures.

00:06I'm very used to talking about how it's colder in the north and warmer in the south, but

00:10that is certainly not the case today. We're starting off Monday with widely mild conditions

00:15for Northern Ireland and Scotland, already double digits in places. Meanwhile, for England

00:19and Wales, it is much chillier, some patchy frost across some districts. We've currently

00:24got cold air trapped underneath an area of high pressure in the southeast with light

00:28winds here as well, but strong and mild southwesterly winds are pushing their way in across parts

00:33of Northern Ireland and Scotland. This is accompanied by a cold front that's bringing

00:37outbreaks of rain during today, so it will be turning fairly damp and wet for these north-western

00:42districts around all those gusts as well. The rain will slowly push its way into parts

00:47of Cumbria and north-west England, also around Anglesey into north-west Wales later on this

00:51afternoon. The rest of England and Wales will manage to stay dry, but it is going to be

00:54a relatively cloudy day, brightness certainly in short supply, but a few clearer spells

00:59maybe for the far north of Scotland later on this afternoon. This band of rain though

01:03is going to act as a boundary line for our temperatures. You'll see again it is noticeably

01:07mild for Scotland and Northern Ireland, but cooler still across England and Wales, 5-7

01:12degrees Celsius here. This band of rain will slowly ease as we head into the evening and

01:18overnight period, but it is also going to stall a bit across more central areas of the

01:22UK, so still some outbreaks of lighter rain and drizzle possible here throughout the night.

01:27Drier towards the north and the south, a few clear spells around there once again, but

01:31this frontal system is still going to act as that boundary line in our temperatures.

01:35Once again for Scotland and Northern Ireland it is going to be a very mild night. Temperatures

01:40again in places may hold up in double digit figures. Further towards the south there is

01:44once again the chance that we see some patchy frost around first thing on Tuesday morning.

01:49There will be also some isolated fog patches here that will just take a little bit of time

01:53in the morning to clear their way off. The rain now has ease for many of us, but it will

01:57still be drizzly across more higher ground sites, so for Eyrire, the Bannau Blythyniog

02:02across the Pennines and the Lake District as well. Perhaps a few just skirting into

02:08the far north of the Highlands as well. The best of the sunshine on Tuesday is probably

02:12going to be for some southern coastal districts of England, but also eastern areas of Scotland

02:16should see some brightness poking its way through at times, generally though cloudy

02:20for the vast majority. Those temperatures on Tuesday range in between 8 in the south

02:25and 11 to 12 degrees Celsius in the north. As we move into the forthcoming week it is

02:30generally going to be more northern and western areas that see the greatest chance of a bit

02:35more in the way of rain and drizzle around at times, but many of us should see a relatively

02:39settled week to come. There is the ongoing chance of mist and fog lingering in places

02:44across more southern districts though, and those topsy-turvy temperatures are going to

02:48continue right throughout the week, double digits still persisting in the north, a little

02:52bit cooler in the south. We'll have plenty more updates on all of that on our YouTube

02:57channel with a full week ahead forecast posted late on, so make sure you are subscribed for

03:02that so you get the notification of when it's uploaded, and we'll see you again here very

03:06soon. Bye bye.
