00:00Hello there, good morning.

00:01Well, after a very dry spring, some showers this week could bring some long overdue rainfall

00:06for some.

00:07But to begin the day, it should be mostly dry, perhaps a little bit murky in some places,

00:11particularly across eastern counties with some North Sea low cloud, but it's eventually

00:16burning back towards coastal counties where it may linger through much of the day.

00:20Otherwise mostly dry, plenty of sunshine, but there is the risk of showers into the

00:24afternoon, particularly across Northern Ireland, southern parts of Scotland, northern parts

00:29of England and Wales as well.

00:31And the odd shower could be heavy, perhaps even the odd rumble of thunder, but most places

00:36should remain dry.

00:37Less cloud around compared to yesterday afternoon, all to all blue skies for many, and feeling

00:43a touch warmer too, highs reaching around 23 degrees Celsius in the south.

00:49Then into the evening, all eyes across central and southern areas.

00:53This occluded feature at first out to the southwest, eventually dragging in some more cloud, potentially

00:58some showery outbreaks by the time we reach Wednesday afternoon.

01:01So there's going to be a slightly different feel to the weather as we first wake up into

01:06Wednesday morning.

01:07More clouds, showers and slightly milder air drifting in across the south.

01:12But across Scotland, northern parts of England, Northern Ireland, dry, bright start today and

01:17feeling a little bit cooler here too.

01:19But the cloud and showers are set to stick around through much of the day, particularly across

01:23southern parts of England, southern parts of Wales.

01:25The odd shower could be heavy at times, but it's going to feel very different compared

01:30to the last few weeks or so.

01:31But Northern Ireland, Scotland, northern parts of England, it should remain mostly dry, plenty

01:36of sunshine, though can't rule out still the odd shower across northern parts of England.

01:40But a slight change in the weather, a slight downturn on temperatures, but still highs reaching

01:45around 20 degrees Celsius.

01:46Then eventually we say goodbye to the cloud and showers across the south, and high pressure

01:53builds back in, bringing largely settled conditions to end the week, though a cold front dragging

01:57in some colder air across the eastern flank of that high, so things starting to feel a

02:01little bit chilly, particularly overnight.

02:03And then it's all eyes out to the west from Saturday onwards.

02:06The beginning of the bank holiday looks set to be unsettled, more cloud outbreaks of rain

02:11moving through here.

02:12But if you want more updates on the week ahead weather, we can catch Alex Deacon here on YouTube.

02:16Otherwise that's it from me, bye-bye.
