00:00We're definitely seeing a different sight of spring this week compared to last week.

00:04There will be some April showers around, even some heavy rain at times too.

00:09Currently, well, low pressure never too far away.

00:12In the southeast, high pressure trying to cling on, but as an area of low pushes its way northwards as we go through Tuesday,

00:19we are going to see some heavy and potentially impactful rain, but then that all pushes its way northwards.

00:24So again, something a little bit drier for a time across southern parts, but more changeable weather to come through the rest of this week.

00:30But going back through Monday afternoon, and we have a front lingering from kind of northeast England, eastern Scotland,

00:37down through parts of Wales and towards the southwest.

00:40Some relatively heavy rain mixed in with this, some Irish coastal parts perhaps seeing 20 to 30, maybe 40 millimetres in some places,

00:48and even elsewhere, some relatively high totals, I suppose.

00:51But because it's been so dry recently, I'm not really expecting any impacts in relation to this.

00:57Otherwise, there will be a scattering of those April showers that I mentioned,

01:01some bright or sunny spells mixed in across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

01:05and actually in the southeast, not seeing a huge amount of showers, not especially heavy here.

01:09And in the southeast, because we have high pressure not too far away,

01:14we're also going to still have some relatively warmth across us, mid to high teens relatively widely.

01:19Further north and west, though, temperatures a fair bit lower and feeling colder too,

01:23because of the rain and some blustery winds mixed in as well.

01:27Now, through the evening and overnight, this front doesn't do a huge amount.

01:31It continues to linger across, well, eastern Scotland, northern parts of England,

01:36and down through Wales and the southwest.

01:37It may pip up a little bit across the southwest overnight as well.

01:41Meanwhile, in the southeast, we are going to see a plume coming through,

01:44and so the potential for some hefty showers developing,

01:47and some of these could be on the heavy side, could be a bit thundery as well.

01:51Further northwest, yes, there will be a scattering of showers for western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

01:56but also some clearer skies.

01:57And so under the clear skies, it is going to turn a little chilly, a touch of frost in some places here.

02:03Meanwhile, elsewhere, with a bit more cloud, the blustery winds,

02:07it's not going to be especially chilly.

02:09A milder start, perhaps, than some nights through last week.

02:12Then, as we go through tomorrow, and again, it's a bit of a messy day,

02:16there will be outbreaks of rain around, still some heavy, persistent rain across parts of Wales, southwest England,

02:22and this may pep up even more as we go through the daytime.

02:25There's the potential for some higher rainfall totals building up,

02:28and we could see perhaps 50 to 60 millimetres.

02:31So by then, that's when we could start to see some localised impacts.

02:35Otherwise, a few showers around, and some of these could be heavy,

02:37could be some thunder and some hail mixed in with them as well.

02:40And temperature-wise, well, it's not especially warm by any means.

02:44It's not going to be too far off average for the time of year,

02:48but we're looking at mid to possibly high teens at best towards the southeast.

02:52So if you get any sunny spells in between the showers, not feeling too bad.

02:56But elsewhere, yeah, a real fresher feel to things compared to this time last week.

03:01Now, this wet weather across western southern parts does push its way northwards as we go into Wednesday.

03:07It's actually going to bring a pretty wet day across the northern parts.

03:10Could have some sleet and snow mixed in with it over modest higher ground as well.

03:14But elsewhere, a bit brighter, drier for a time in the south

03:18before more wet weather comes through as we go towards the end of the week through Thursday and Friday.

03:24And it's always worth bearing in mind, in the rain, it's going to feel a little bit cold at times.

03:28But if you get any dry, brighter periods, it shouldn't feel too bad,

03:31with temperatures generally around average for the time of year.

03:34On our YouTube channel later on this afternoon, you'll find our week-ahead forecast,

03:38which will have a more in-depth look at what we can expect through the whole of the week in the run-up to Easter.

03:42Bye-bye.
