00:00Hello, good afternoon. After what's been a fairly warm and sunny month so far, July is
00:06actually ending on a cloudier and more changeable note, and that's certainly the case out there
00:10today. The earlier radar and satellite shows quite a bit of rain overnight across the west
00:15of Scotland, but also some showery outbreaks elsewhere across the UK, and it will stay
00:19fairly unsettled through this afternoon too. A lot of clouds, so any sunshine fairly fleeting.
00:24The showers across the west of Scotland tend to break up a bit more, so some dry includes
00:28developing, but I think across the north-east of Scotland in particular, there could well
00:32be some heavier downpours later this afternoon, and perhaps even the odd rumble of thunder.
00:37Elsewhere, the showers far fewer and further between, and lighter than yesterday in general,
00:41so many places having a rather cloudy, but mostly dry afternoon. We will just need to watch
00:47the far south-east of England though. Here we could see some slightly heavier showers developing
00:51later. Now, for one of the first days this month so far, actually temperatures might well
00:56be a little bit below average in some places, so only 22 or 23 degrees at best, and many
01:02places in the north, more like 17 to 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind coming in from the Atlantic,
01:07it will feel on the cool side.
01:10A bit more in a way of sunshine this evening, perhaps for some western fringes of the UK,
01:15coastal parts of Wales for example in the south-west, but many places having a bit of cloud through
01:19this evening. Still the odd shower around in places, but as we go through the early hours,
01:24the cloud tends to break up, many parts of southern and eastern Britain seeing lengthy
01:28clear spells developing, and that will allow temperatures in the countryside at least to
01:32fall potentially down into the high single figures. But for most of us in the towns and
01:37cities, lows of just 14 or 15.
01:40So quite a cloudy start to the day on Monday across the north-west. Still one or two showers
01:45coming in on that fairly brisk north-westly flow, but overall it's going to be a much brighter
01:50day on Monday compared to the weekend. So a mixture of cloud and sunny spells. A few showers
01:55bubbling up across England and Wales through the afternoon, but these tend to be fairly
01:59light, and once again you'll be pretty unlucky to catch one tomorrow, so many places staying
02:03dry. And it should help lift those temperatures as well, more in a way of sunshine, so a warmer
02:08day to come. Highs of 24 or 25 degrees Celsius in the south and the east of England, and even
02:14across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Temperature's not too far away from average. 19 or 20 degrees
02:20won't feel too bad in the sunshine.
02:22But notice across the north-west, if I move backwards, we've got this band of rain pushing
02:27in from the west as we go through Monday evening across Northern Ireland, so it will be turning
02:31a bit wetter here, and that's a sign of things to come as we go into Tuesday. So turning more
02:36unsettled once again, we will see some showers or longer spells of rain pushing in from the
02:40north-west. But temperatures will be on the rise, so it will be starting to feel much more humid,
02:44and we could even see temperatures in the mid to high 20s in the south and the east by
02:48the middle of the week. But of course, make sure you're following us on our social media
02:51channels and follow us on YouTube as well, so that you never miss any updates. I'll see
02:55you again very soon.
