00:00Hello. Following a slight interlude in between the largely dry and sunny spring that we're all experiencing

00:08over the last few days with hit and miss showers, we're going to see further showers overnight,

00:13but they become increasingly few and far between. Most of them fade away after the sun goes down

00:18and clear spells break out across the country. Patchy cloud here and there, but the thickest cloud

00:23will be across the north and east of Scotland, as well as northeast England. Low cloud rolling in

00:28from the sea creeping its way inland. Temperatures dipping to the high single figures, low double

00:32figures, and we start off Tuesday with, I think, more widespread sunny skies compared with Monday

00:37morning, certainly across some central, western and southern parts of the UK. Blue skies from the

00:42word go. Patchy cloud running into the southwest of England and that thick low cloud tending to

00:48retreat back to the coast across northeast Scotland. But into the afternoon, there's always the chance

00:53that a few showers will develop once again as temperatures rise and the cloud bubbles up.

00:59One or two perhaps for the highlands, but more especially south Wales into central southern

01:04England and the southeast. The old weather front that provided a focus for showers during Sunday

01:09and Monday, just reactivating into the afternoon as temperatures rise. Again, these will be really

01:15hit and miss. Even if you're in this zone, you could stay dry. But where you do get hit by a heavy

01:21shower, it could be quite intense. And there's always the risk of some lightning and hail as

01:26well as gusty winds. So these showers developing into the afternoon and affecting a few spots.

01:33But for the vast majority, it's a dry and sunny afternoon as sunshine once again makes a return

01:39widely across the UK. The highest temperatures are shifting northwestwards. So North Wales,

01:45northwest England, western Scotland, Northern Ireland, 22 to 24 Celsius. West Highlands could

01:52see 26 or 27 Celsius, but much cooler on that North Sea coast where we've got 12s and 13s

01:59under the low cloud. Then into Tuesday nights, any showers that do form quickly fade away after the

02:05sun goes down. And again, lengthy clear spells away from the area across eastern Scotland and northeast

02:11England where we've got low cloud drifting in from the North Sea. That could give a few spots a drizzle

02:16by the start of Wednesday. Also, a few showers may just approach parts of Cornwall by the end of the

02:22night. In between, plenty of clear spells, a little bit fresher as we start off Wednesday with slightly lower

02:28humidities. And we've got high pressure building once again around the middle part of the week. That low

02:34pressure, distant memory, it disappears by Wednesday afternoon. And the high to the north brings plenty

02:41more settled weather, although it also brings east to northeasterly winds. So a lot of low cloud coming

02:47in and affecting North Sea coast. The focus for that tending to drift south through the afternoon,

02:52so perhaps affecting parts of East Anglia by 2 or 3 p.m. One or two showers though could still develop

02:58across parts of Cornwall and West Devon. Again, these will be hit and miss. Elsewhere, it's simply dry and it's

03:04sunny and those widespread sunny skies continue into Thursday and Friday with temperatures typically

03:10later this week. High teens, low 20s, always feeling much cooler on that North Sea coast.

03:17So high pressure returns, a return to dry and sunny weather for the rest of the week

03:22and very little useful rain in sight for the time being.
