00:00Good morning. There wasn't a huge amount of sunshine off on Saturday, but I am hopeful

00:04that we'll see more of that through the course of today. Generally, quite cloudy conditions

00:08though for many across the north and the west to begin the day, quite wet and windy across

00:12western Scotland in particular. This band of rain will slowly make its way southwards

00:16and eastwards across the UK through the course of the day, but generally fragmenting as it

00:20does so, so not much more than the odd showery outbreak by this afternoon. After a cold and

00:25frosty start across the south and the east of the UK, here it should be a much sunnier

00:29day than yesterday. Plenty of blue skies and sunshine, and that sunshine extending into

00:34parts of the Midlands and perhaps Lincolnshire as well as we go towards this afternoon. It

00:38will also turn sunnier across the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland, so a much brighter

00:42end to the day to come here too. Temperatures ranging quite close to average for the time

00:47of year, 7 or 8 degrees for many of us, perhaps 9 or 10 in the mildest spots, so not feeling

00:52too bad at all for the time of year in the sunshine. That band of fragmented rain starts

00:58to make its way a bit further southwards and eastwards as we go through this evening,

01:01but generally not more than a band of cloud by the time we get to the early hours of Monday.

01:05Ahead of that, some clear skies remaining across the east of Anglia and across the very

01:09far south-east of England. So here, one or two freezing fog patches are possible in the

01:13countryside and certainly a widespread frost. Temperatures here in the countryside perhaps

01:16down to minus 3 or minus 4 in a few spots, generally much milder elsewhere with temperatures

01:22not falling much below 3 or 4 degrees and some places 5 or 6 degrees in the north-west.

01:28So we will start to see the next band of rain pushing into the north-west of Scotland by

01:32the time we get to tomorrow morning and that will be bringing some strong to gale force

01:35winds as we go through the course on Monday. So generally a much wetter and windier picture

01:40once again, particularly for north-west Scotland where the rain will be particularly heavy

01:44and persistent. But some rain also encroaching into other parts of Scotland and Northern

01:49Ireland through the day, so a bit of a damp picture here. Many parts of England and Wales

01:52though will get away with a largely dry day. There could be just one or two light showers

01:56across central and southern England and parts of the Midlands but you'll be very unlucky

02:00if you catch one of these. Most places will stay dry and it should brighten up a little

02:03bit for Northern England, parts of Wales and the south-west. Temperatures again, quite

02:08close to average but a little bit higher than over the weekend. So we could see 9 or 10

02:13degrees a little bit more widely and the winds will start to ease a little bit down towards

02:17the south. As we go through the week ahead we are going to see this cold front bringing

02:21that band of rain across the country on Tuesday. So some heavier bursts of rain perhaps even

02:26in the south for a time. It turns colder then for a time on Wednesday with wintry showers

02:31across Scotland but then high pressure builds across the whole of the UK as we go towards

02:35Wednesday and Thursday. So that's going to bring a much more settled and fine picture

02:39for the end of the week. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an update and I'll see you

02:44again very soon.
