00:00Thanks for joining me for your afternoon weather update. If you're watching on

00:03YouTube don't forget to hit subscribe. The last day of March continues as most

00:08of March has done with a lot of dry weather and for many of us quite a bit

00:11of sunshine. Here's the view from space. This is a large area of high pressure.

00:16The air is sinking through high pressure so we're not seeing too much cloud

00:20certainly for England and Wales under the middle of the high. Further north

00:23there is a weather front and we are seeing some cloud drifting in from the

00:27Atlantic so not particularly sunny for Northern Ireland and Scotland and of

00:31course parts of Scotland particularly over the Highlands that cloud thick

00:34enough for a few showers during the afternoon. But elsewhere it is dry as I

00:37said quite a bit of cloud for Northern Ireland but even that should break up a

00:40little bit. A cloud breaking up to reveal some sunshine over southern Scotland as

00:45well. For most of England and Wales sunny spells through this afternoon

00:48lifting the temperatures up above average for the end of March 16, 17

00:54maybe even 18 in one or two places. It is as is often the case at this time of

00:58year cooler around the coast. The sea is pretty chilly in particular we've got a

01:02breeze blowing which is again quite noticeable across Somerset, Devon and

01:06Cornwall. As we go through the night that breeze is likely to strengthen further

01:10and pick up right along the south coast. We'll see the breeze picking up too

01:14across Northern Ireland and Scotland but that will help to blow the cloud away

01:18here so we'll see more sunshine tomorrow. Some low cloud is likely to form making

01:24things a bit murky. First thing some fog patches possible over these Midlands up

01:28towards Lincolnshire and well we've got the clearest skies and the lightest

01:32winds those temperatures dropping down to just three or four degrees. That's in

01:36Townsend City's rural spots a little lower than that so we will be a chilly

01:39start to Tuesday but many of us will have plenty of sunshine. The mist and fog

01:44may take an hour or two to clear over say parts of the Midlands up towards

01:49northeast England but it should disappear. It's a much sunnier day for

01:52Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow. Even the cloud over the Northern Isles

01:56should melt away. In fact for most places come the afternoon look at that sunny

02:00skies pretty much all the way. The feel of the day though will be dictated by

02:05the winds and where they're coming from. A brisk and fresh breeze along the

02:09south coast of England. A bit of a breeze blowing across the west coast of

02:13Scotland and with this breeze trying to come in from the North Sea that'll peg

02:17the temperatures back a little bit along some of those North Sea coasts. But

02:20certainly inland temperatures again getting into the mid or high tees and

02:24the Highlands of Scotland like to be quite a bit warmer than today. 17, 18

02:28perhaps even 19 Celsius is possible here and it could get warmer still as we go

02:33through Tuesday night and into Wednesday. The clear skies there will allow it to

02:37be a little chilly overnight. Still a bit of a breeze blowing across the south

02:41will keep those clear skies. High pressure continues to dominate really

02:45through this week. This one actually kind of drifts away and then another one

02:49builds and joins in the fun up from the north. That will twist the wind direction

02:54again allowing a bit more of an easterly to be blowing by the end of the week and

02:59again that'll be crucial for the feel of the day. But with high pressure in charge

03:02expect quite a bit of fine weather through this week. For your full

03:06day-to-day breakdown of the weather for the week ahead that'll be available on

03:11YouTube with Aidan on Monday afternoon.
