00:00Hello, it's the last day of meteorological spring today, but it'll actually feel more

00:05like midsummer for some southern and eastern areas. A very different story out towards

00:09the northwest though. Got this area of low pressure dominating and that's going to bring

00:13much cooler, fresher and more showery weather in from the west. Weather fronts pushing in

00:17from the west as we go into Sunday as well. So further showers are longer spells of rain

00:21across the north of the UK and feeling much fresher for all of us by tomorrow. Out there

00:27this afternoon though, and it's fairly warm in that sunshine, particularly across more

00:30eastern and southeastern parts of the UK with temperatures in the mid-20s here. Quite murky

00:36and misty though along some English Channel coasts, so here quite cool in that low cloud.

00:41Generally fairly fine across northern parts of England, Wales and the southwest with just

00:45the odd isolated shower, but quite blustery winds and showers or longer spells of rain

00:50pushing eastwards across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Perhaps the odd rumble of thunder

00:54mixed in there as well. Some really quite intense downpours for some of us and those blustery

00:58winds will make it feel quite a bit cooler. So temperatures, well maybe 19 or 20 for a

01:03time early afternoon, but dropping down into the mid-teen Celsius as we go towards the late

01:08afternoon. Down towards the southeast though, highs of 26 or 27 degrees, so feeling very warm

01:14indeed in that sunshine and with very high levels of grass pollen in the southeast as well.

01:20Through this evening we see this cold front bringing this showery band of rain further

01:24eastwards across England and Wales. Further showers for Scotland and Northern Ireland

01:27as well. A brief lull in the winds across the north, but winds starting to pick up once

01:32again as we go through the night. Further showers or longer spells of rain returning to Northern

01:36Ireland and Western Scotland. Otherwise, many parts of England and Wales and Eastern Scotland

01:41escaping with a largely dry night. Lengthy clear spells and if you weren't a fan of the humidity

01:45over the last few nights, well it's good news because it generally will be quite a bit fresher

01:49out there tonight. Temperatures falling perhaps into low single figures across northern parts of

01:54Scotland, but generally it will just be the far southeast of England that holds on to something a little

01:58bit warmer. So for Sunday, generally a fine start for many parts of England and Wales. A mixture of

02:04clouds and sunny spells. Overall though, it will be a breezier day tomorrow and generally a bit

02:08cloudier too. So the cloud bubbling up through the morning, further showers and longer spells of rain

02:13pushing eastwards across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Again, the odd rumble of thunder here and

02:19showers breaking out quite widely across Northern England, Wales, the Midlands and the southwest as

02:24well. But some places will stay dry, particularly across the southeast of England, holding on to

02:29some warmth here and generally a fine afternoon for some eastern and southern parts of Scotland.

02:34It will be a fresher day though, wherever you are. Still feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine in the

02:38southeast with highs 22 or 23 degrees here, but generally quite a blustery wind. So

02:44feeling quite a bit cooler for many compared to on Saturday. Now as we go into Monday, it's looking

02:51fairly fine for most of us. A bit of a respite from the showers, some sunny spells and pleasantly

02:56warm, but it will turn wet and windy in the northwest later in the day. Of course, if you want to

03:02follow us on our social media channels, you'll never miss any updates. But that's everything from me.

03:06I'll see you again soon.
