00:00Hi there. Much warmer or even hotter weather will arrive across most of the UK later this

00:06week, but for the time being there is a north-south contrast. Certainly we've seen these outbreaks

00:11of rain continuing for northwest Scotland throughout much of the day. That tends to

00:15sink south. It's a weather front that will bring some heavy bursts of rain at times and

00:19some strong wind with gales around exposed coasts of northern Scotland. But as it sinks

00:24south it becomes a little bit more patchy and broken up. It runs into high pressure

00:29which is sitting close to the south of the UK. And with that high pressure, lighter

00:34winds and clear skies overnight. There'll be some mist and low cloud forming in the south

00:39by dawn. But it's going to be a mild night wherever you are, whether you've got the

00:43cloud and the rain in the north or the clear spells further south. Then heading

00:48into Tuesday morning, mist in the south will clear very quickly. The strong June

00:53sunshine then developing across many parts of the southern third of the UK, the

00:58Midlands, East Anglia, the south. And as that strong sunshine gets to work, it will

01:03be a very warm day. But in between, we do have an area of cloud and outbreaks of rain

01:09sinking south. The rain tending to peter out, but a damp afternoon to come for North Wales

01:13and northwest England in particular. Bright spells and showers replacing that across Northern

01:18Ireland and Scotland. Here temperatures will rise up to the high teens, perhaps low 20s, where

01:24we've got the frontal zone, not quite so warm. But in the southeast, 26 celsius possible given

01:32that strong June sunshine. Heading into Tuesday night and Wednesday

01:36morning, the cloud across central parts tends to sink south, but it's all breaking up and

01:41becoming very tenuous. To the north, we do have some showers continuing across northern

01:46Scotland and a brisk breeze. But for most, it's a clear and dry night. Fresher in the north,

01:52but still relatively mild, if not warm, in the south. Then we start off with those patches

01:58of cloud across England and Wales. Even these tend to fizzle away during the morning. Plenty

02:03of strong sunshine developing across England and Wales and working its way northwards into

02:08southern Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland by the afternoon. We do still have some showers

02:13into the north of Scotland at first. They tend to fade away. But an area of cloud and some

02:18outbreaks of light rain starting to edge into Northern Ireland by the end of Wednesday afternoon.

02:23Mid to high teens across northern parts of the country, nothing too hot at this stage.

02:28Mid 20s further south and southeast. Possibility 27 degrees in some spots, a sign of the increasing

02:36heat to come later this week. And that's because initially we've got high pressure over the UK.

02:43That's going to allow the strong June sunshine to increase temperatures day by day. Then

02:48that high slowly drifts to the east. And from around Friday, but more especially into the weekend,

02:54that will allow this plume of very warm or hot air to move up from the south, from Iberia,

03:01increasing temperatures widely across Western Europe. And the possibility by Saturday of the

03:06low 30s across parts of the UK. We'll keep you updated on all of that, as always,

03:11through our YouTube channel. Bye-bye.
