00:00Hello there, good evening. Many of us have managed to see a relatively dry and fair weekend,

00:05but as we transition into the new week, there is the increasing chance of showers for some of us.

00:10It's all being driven by this area of low pressure moving its way in from the south,

00:14and already this evening we're seeing some of those showers spread across parts of western England

00:19into areas of Wales as well. They do have the potential to be on the sharp and thundery side.

00:24An area of rain will also blossom across northern Ireland, turning heavy at times

00:28before it pushes its way into areas of western Scotland later on in the night.

00:32Generally further east, there will be some clear spells. It's going to be a mild night for most of us,

00:37particularly in the west and the south. We could see temperatures holding around 13 to 14 degrees Celsius.

00:42That little bit cooler and fresher out towards the east and the north,

00:46and there will be some low cloud lingering across eastern coast of Scotland first thing.

00:49This is tending to burn back throughout the day, and the rain in the west will also ease off as well.

00:55Some outbreaks, though, are also possible for eastern counties of Northern Ireland.

00:58It's really into the afternoon, though, where we'll start to see some of those heavy showers

01:03developing across parts of England and Wales, maybe even spreading into parts of southwest Scotland

01:07as we head into the middle parts of the afternoon.

01:10The focus for those heaviest showers, though, really stretches from parts of London

01:14through the Midlands into areas of Wales as far north of Cheshire,

01:18and also northern coasts of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

01:21Not everywhere in this region is going to see the thunderstorms.

01:26They will be hit and miss, but certainly where they do occur,

01:29they have the potential to provide some torrential downpours of rain,

01:32hail, lightning, strong gusty winds as well.

01:35And as a result, there is a potential for some localised flooding.

01:38Of course, rain is needed for many regions after a dry spring so far,

01:42but just the intensity of these storms could provide some surface water issues,

01:46and there may be difficult travelling conditions around at times.

01:49As we've seen already, there is potential for some thunderstorms to develop

01:54slightly outside of this warning area,

01:56but it's this region where we have the most likelihood of those storms

02:00causing the most disruption throughout the day.

02:03If you do avoid them, though, there is still going to be some long sunny intervals

02:07in between those showers, and temperatures will be responding to that sunshine.

02:10It's going to be feeling very warm, highs around the mid-20s

02:13for much of central and eastern areas of England.

02:16A little bit fresher further towards the north, but still 19 degrees Celsius as possible

02:21through the central belt of Scotland.

02:24The showers will continue for a good portion of the evening,

02:27probably taking until later on overnight before they eventually clear.

02:31Our area of low pressure will slowly drift its way southwards as we head into Tuesday.

02:36And so while some showers will still develop once again on this second day of the week,

02:40they will be more limited towards parts of southern Wales,

02:43into areas of southwest England as well, still potentially on the thundry side.

02:47But many central and northern regions will see plentiful amounts of sunshine throughout the day,

02:52away from a touch of cloud lingering across the far north of Scotland.

02:55For most of us, it is going to be a pleasant, warm and sunny day.

02:59Those temperatures rebounding for parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland,

03:03now climbing to the 20 degrees Celsius mark here as well.

03:06And still in that sunshine, 24, 25 is possible across parts of England as well.

03:13With our area of low pressure moving towards the south,

03:15it's going to allow high pressure to return as we head towards the middle part of the week.

03:19And this is going to keep things mostly fine and settled.

03:22So increasingly from Wednesday onwards,

03:25we are going to see the return of pretty widespread fine conditions,

03:28lots of sunshine and plentiful amounts of warm weather in there as well.

03:32Of course, there will be more updates of that on our YouTube channel,

03:35so do subscribe for those.

03:36We'll see you again later on.

03:37Bye-bye.
