00:00Good morning.
00:01Well, we've got plenty of low cloud in the mix once again,
00:05but that'll lift and clear to reveal a good deal of sunshine.
00:09So here's the low cloud hugging northeastern areas
00:12down to the East Midlands, East Anglia,
00:14and the southeast of England.
00:16So not as extensive out towards the west,
00:19but it could be quite stubborn to clear,
00:21especially across the East Midlands and towards the southeast.
00:24So sunnier spells developing as we go later on in the day.
00:29Elsewhere, plenty of warm sunshine once again,
00:32but the exception being there may just be a few showers
00:35bubbling up across the far southwest of Scotland
00:38and northwestern England later into the afternoon.
00:43Otherwise, still feeling pleasantly warm in that sunshine,
00:46highs of 21, 22, possibly 23 degrees.
00:50But where we have this onshore flow,
00:52especially across northern parts of Scotland
00:55and down that East Coast
00:56with that cool northeasterly breeze,
00:59it's still gonna be on the chilly side,
01:01especially with any lingering cloud along the coasts.
01:05So as we go through Sunday night
01:07and into the start of Monday morning,
01:10well, it's a bit of a rinse and repeat.
01:12Any showers will generally fade away,
01:14then the return of this low cloud.
01:17Now out towards the west,
01:18that's where we hold onto the clearest skies,
01:21may see some mist and fog patches,
01:23and again, temperatures may dip just to give a rural frost
01:26in places.
01:27But otherwise, temperatures overnight are generally similar
01:30to the previous nights just gone.
01:33So as we start Monday morning,
01:35well, a pretty gloomy start out there,
01:38a lot of cloud.
01:39But again, once that sun gets going,
01:41that should lift and break.
01:43But there is a bit more of a change.
01:45We'll start to see some further cloud building in
01:48from the North Sea,
01:49but also just giving the risk of some showers.
01:52Now, the detail of these showers
01:54is still a little bit uncertain.
01:55They could be heavy at times as well.
01:57But in between, across Northern Ireland,
01:59central parts of Scotland,
02:01towards the far southeast,
02:02we should still see a good deal of fine dry weather.
02:07And it's still gonna be feeling pleasantly warm
02:08in that sunshine as well.
02:10Highs of 21, 22 degrees.
02:12But underneath this cloud,
02:13and again, where we hold onto this northeasterly flow,
02:16it's still gonna be feeling rather cool,
02:19especially for the time of year.
02:23Now, looking ahead, it's a similar pattern.
02:25Many places staying fine and dry,
02:26but there's always the chance of some thunderstorms.
02:29So make sure to hit subscribe
02:31so you don't miss any details on that.
02:33Otherwise, I'll see you soon.
02:35Bye-bye.
