00:00Thank you for joining me for your latest update from the Met Office, got a bit of

00:04rain around today but once that's out of the way the rest of the week looks dry.

00:08The big picture from space shows a big stripe of clouds smothering the UK

00:13that's a weather front then there's loads of lumpy clouds out west there

00:17showers packing in this afternoon across Scotland and Northern Ireland down to

00:21the far southwest the skies are somewhat clearer that's thanks to this area of

00:25high pressure and that is going to move in slowly but surely over the next day

00:31or so but it's not with us yet right now we have this weather front that has been

00:35making for some pretty wet conditions this morning particularly in southwest

00:38Scotland but also the rain pepping up across Wales and southwest England

00:42slowly creeping eastward so turning soggier over northwest England and the

00:47Midlands through the afternoon much of East Anglia in the southeast will stay

00:51dry until evening time and clearer skies following to Scotland Northern

00:57Ireland but along with plenty of showers here much brighter though by the end of

01:01the afternoon for Wales southwest England and northwest England too as

01:04that rain kind of fizzles out a little bit as it tracks its way to the East

01:08Midlands but turning damp and drizzly here and across central southern England

01:12by the end of the day along with that rain band the winds will really pick up

01:16so a spell of gusty winds as that weather front moves in making it feel

01:19cooler than the thermometer would have you believe because actually quite mild

01:24for February double digits almost across the board but cooler air will follow in

01:28because it is a cold front which will track towards East Anglia in the

01:32southeast during the evening rush hour nothing too heavy but a bit damp and

01:35drizzly but should be out of the way by midnight then clearer skies follow for

01:39England and Wales generally a dry night long clear spells here maybe the odd

01:43shower for South Wales and western parts of England quite a few showers will

01:47continue to come into western Scotland parts of Northern Ireland particularly

01:51on the north coast be some snow mixed in over some of the highest routes across

01:55Scotland as those showers zip through on a fairly brisk wind here although the

02:00winds will ease a bit it'll stay breezy enough to stop the temperatures falling

02:04too far overnight despite clear skies most towns and cities staying just a bit

02:08above freezing but certainly in rural parts we will see a touch of frost for

02:13Wednesday morning but we should also see plenty of sunshine on Wednesday morning

02:16a cracking day for a good part of the country still on that westerly breezy

02:21odd shower for Wales southwest England's northwest England certainly showers will

02:25come and go through the day in western Scotland and for the north coast of

02:30Northern Ireland but a good part of the UK dry bright many of us just having a

02:34fine winter's day by the afternoon possibly one or two showers drifting in

02:38across other southern areas but as I say the vast majority dry and fine and sunny

02:43the winds lighter than today and easing off all the while temperatures bang

02:47average for the time of year 7 8 maybe 9 Celsius across the south after that

02:52chillier feel first thing it is going to get colder though in the outlook as we

02:57go through Wednesday evening any showers across the south fade away pretty

03:00rapidly even the showers in western Scotland tending to ease off but just a

03:05hint of blue on the chart they're suggesting we'll see frost forming more

03:09widely on Wednesday evening and a frosty old start to Thursday but there's

03:14that high pressure down to the southwest now sitting across the UK on Thursday

03:19bringing many places a fine and dry sunny day then it heads its way up

03:24towards Scandinavia and that allows something with easterly wind to pick up

03:29through Friday and into the weekend now that is going to bring a colder feel

03:33particularly to eastern parts and also still going to bring quite a lot of dry

03:38weather but we could start to see some showers which may have a wintry flavor

03:42across parts of the south and east but certainly likely to turn colder for all

03:46of us as we head towards the end of this week more details as always across
