00:00Hello. Well, some of that low cloud has been quite stubborn to clear today, and we'll see

00:05the return of low cloud as we go through this evening and overnight. So take a look at the

00:10bigger picture, though. We're under the influence of high pressure, so fine, dry, and settled

00:15for most of us, but with the winds coming in from that northeasterly direction, that's

00:20where we're just feeding in that cloud from the North Sea. So as we go through the rest

00:25of Saturday evening and overnight, plenty of clear skies well out towards the west,

00:30but once the land cools, we'll see the return of this blanket of low cloud pushing further

00:36inland. Perhaps not as extensive further west, though, compared to this morning, but it could

00:42be thick enough still for the odd patch of drizzle or light rain. But in the clearest skies, temperatures

00:48will fall away. We could see a touch of frost in places, perhaps even some mist and fog patches.

00:54So as we start Sunday morning, a cool, grey, gloomy start across eastern areas and northern

01:01parts of Scotland as well. The low cloud should start lifting and breaking once that sun gets

01:07going, but it could linger for a time across east Midlands down towards the southeast of

01:12England too. Otherwise, a good deal of fine and bright weather is on the cards on Sunday.

01:19There is just the chance of the odd showers developing across the far south of Scotland

01:24and northwestern England too. But otherwise, it's still going to be feeling pleasantly warm

01:30in that sunshine, especially out towards the west, highs of 22, 23 degrees. But where you

01:36hold on to this onshore flow, especially across northern parts of Scotland and running down that

01:42eastern coast, it's still going to be feeling rather cool. So as we go through Sunday evening,

01:49then we've still got the risk of some showers across parts of southern Scotland. They'll generally

01:53start easing. Then, well, it's a bit of a rinse and repeat. We'll see further low cloud, hugging

01:59coast and moving further inland as well. Most places should stay largely dry. And then temperatures

02:05actually are going to be quite similar to tonight as well. Generally around 8 to 10 degrees. But in any

02:12clear spells, temperatures could quickly fall away. So as we go through Monday morning, then quite a lot

02:19of cloud in the mix. But once again, that will start lifting and breaking. But the exception, as we go

02:25into the afternoon, we'll see further cloud, but also perhaps some showers just breaking out that could

02:30be on the heavy side. A bit of uncertainty in exact position of those. So do keep an eye out on the

02:36forecast for that. But otherwise, there's still a good deal of fine and dry weather around, especially

02:41across Northern Ireland and central parts of Scotland too. Still going to be feeling warm where you do get

02:47that sunshine. So still low 20s, 21, possibly 22. But where you've still got that onshore flow with the

02:54winds coming in from the northeast, still going to be feeling on the cool side and especially under

03:00any lingering cloud as well. And that's a similar picture as we go through Tuesday and Wednesday.

03:06Plenty of fine and dry weather on the cards, but still with the chance of some showers that could

03:11perhaps turn heavy and thundery. But make sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss any details of that.

03:16And I'll catch you very soon. Bye bye.
