00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It's been a dry start

00:05to the weekend for many of us, all thanks to high pressure, but it has been feeling

00:08a little bit cooler than it did towards the end of last week. That's all thanks to this

00:11area of high pressure to the north of the UK, bringing in northerly or northeasterly winds.

00:15It's dragging in some cooler air from the Arctic. But as that high pressure slips southwards

00:19across the UK as we go into the middle part of the week, it generally brings those temperatures

00:23up day on day, gradual warming trend by the time we get towards the end of the week. Back

00:28to the rest of Sunday though, and we will still see one or two isolated showers feeding

00:32in from the North Sea across eastern parts of England, though these generally very light

00:36and scattered. And for much of the country, it will be a dry night to come, plenty of clear

00:40spells on offer. And with light winds, that does mean we could see the odd patch of mist

00:43and fog, particularly across the northern half of the country. And also likely to see

00:47a bit of frost developing here too, where we do see those clear skies, perhaps down to

00:51minus one or minus two in places. But towns and cities will generally be holding up above

00:55zero, around the mid to perhaps high single figures. But that does still mean it's going

00:59to be quite a chilly start to bank holiday Monday for many of us. But a bright start too.

01:04Any mist and fog soon clearing through the morning. It will always be a little bit cloudier across

01:08the very far southeast. We'll see some showers feeding in across southeastern parts of England.

01:13Maybe one or two heavier downpours here. But for much of the rest of the country, plenty

01:16of blue skies, plenty of sunshine. And with light winds, it will be feeling pleasant in that

01:20sunshine too. Highs in the south, 16, 17, perhaps even 18 degrees. In the north, around

01:2513 or 14 degrees. But always feeling just that little bit cooler across eastern coast

01:30with that onshore breeze. As we then go through Monday evening, any showers that we see across

01:35the south and southeast will gradually start to ease, leaving a dry and clear night for most

01:40of us. Plenty of clear spells on offer. One or two isolated showers just affecting Shetland

01:45and Orkney into the early hours of Tuesday morning. But under those clear skies, that does

01:49mean quite a widespread frost across the country. So another chilly start to the day on Tuesday.

01:53Perhaps as low as minus three or minus four in some spots. But again, towns and cities

01:57will be holding up above zero in the mid or high single figures.

02:02So another chilly start to the day across much of the country on Tuesday morning. We will

02:06start to see a bit of cloud just feeding in across eastern parts of England as we go towards

02:10the afternoon. But for the most part, plenty of dry weather around, plenty of sunshine and

02:14blue skies on offer. And again, with light winds, it will be feeling pleasant where we

02:17do see that sunshine. Temperatures again a little above average across the southwest 16,

02:2217 or 18 degrees. Perhaps even 16 degrees across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland

02:27too. But again, always feeling that little bit cooler with that onshore breeze across eastern

02:31parts of England with temperatures struggling to reach much above 12 or 13 degrees here.

02:35And again, it will be feeling a little bit cooler than that still. That sets us up quite

02:40nicely as we go through much of next week with high pressure very much in charge. But
