00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. I'm Marco Britannia.

00:03We've got a weak weather front affecting the central slice of the UK during the course

00:07of the afternoon. That's bringing quite a bit of cloud and some patchy rain to parts

00:10of northern England, north Wales and the north Midlands. Sunnier towards the south, particularly

00:14across the far south of England here, and some sunshine towards the north west of that

00:17weather front, with a few showers across the north and west of Scotland. Temperatures

00:21though are still disappointing for the time of year, thanks to that north to northeast

00:24windy breeze. No higher than 10 or 11 Celsius. 11 in London there is 52 in Fahrenheit.

00:30So as we head into the evening and during the overnight period, cloud will continue

00:33to filter south and westwards across England and Wales. So the early sunshine there to

00:37end the day across the far south will give way to cloudier skies overnight. So for much

00:40of England and Wales, quite a bit of cloud around, some patchy rain at times. Towards

00:45the north and north west of the UK, some clearer spells developing, particularly across parts

00:48of Northern Ireland and towards the north and west of Scotland. Here we'll see the lowest

00:52temperatures tonight, given that clear weather. Temperatures could well get down to minus

00:565 Celsius in one or two rural parts of Scotland by Monday morning. The frost much more patchy

01:00though, the further south we come, given that cloud, the breeze and also one or two spits

01:04of spots of rain around. So we start the new working week with plenty of sunshine across

01:08the north and west of Scotland, a fair bit of sunshine across western parts of Northern

01:11Ireland too. Here the cloud will tend to increase as we go through the day, so sunshine will

01:16become more hazy. Whereas across England and Wales, pretty cloudy towards southern and

01:19western spots, a few showers down towards the south west of England. But notice out

01:23across eastern and south eastern England, we'll start to see some drier air moving in

01:27from the near continent, so more and more sunshine developing here as we go into the

01:30afternoon. Won't do an awful lot though for the temperatures, it's going to stay pretty

01:34cold for the time of year. Temperatures during the course of the afternoon, no higher than

01:379 or 10 Celsius, 10 down towards the south and south east there, it's 50 in Fahrenheit,

01:42nearer 7 to 9 degrees towards the north and north west of the UK. As we go through the

01:46evening, during Monday then, we'll see clearer skies pushing west and north west across all

01:51parts of the UK, drier air starting to filter in from the near continent across other areas.

01:56So it's set to turn quite chilly by Tuesday morning, we'll see a widespread frost in fact

02:00down to minus 7 or minus 8 Celsius by Tuesday morning across parts of Scotland. That holds

02:05a pretty sunny day to come on Tuesday, and plenty of sunshine then for much of the rest

02:09of the week before things turn more unsettled on Friday. That's pretty much it from me,

02:13but of course you can keep tuned to the Met Office forecast by following us on social

02:16media and also subscribing to our YouTube channel. I'll see you soon, take care, bye

02:20bye.
