00:00 Some warmer weather is on the way, but Tuesday will still be pretty cool for most areas.
00:05 A bit of a north-south split with the weather really for Tuesday with a lot of cloud in the south,
00:09 something brighter further north. Before we get there, still a few showers across parts of Scotland during Monday evening,
00:15 a few heavy ones across the far north, only slowly easing, and down to the southwest cloud and rain and drizzle are
00:21 trickling in. That will keep the temperatures up here, but across northern Britain with clearer skies
00:27 it will turn quite cool. Temperatures in some sheltered glens of Scotland could be as low as 4 or 5 Celsius to start Tuesday.
00:33 We should start with a bit of brightness though for Northern Ireland, Central, Southern Scotland, Northern England.
00:38 Generally a fine day here actually with sunny spells.
00:41 There'll be some sunshine across northern Scotland too, but there will be showers, a dull, dank, drizzly, murky start
00:47 across the coasts of South Wales and southwest England, and that rain and drizzle will trickle towards the Midlands quite quickly.
00:53 And then we'll see light rain and drizzle on and off across East Anglia and the southeast come the afternoon as things cloud over.
00:59 But for say much of Northern England, North Wales will hang on to some brightness, some cloud bubbling up for Northern Ireland and Scotland,
01:06 but mostly set fair here. Still quite breezy across the far northeast, if anything the wind's strengthening a touch across the Northern Isles.
01:13 So a cool feel, in fact everywhere, a fairly cool feel. Temperatures mostly
01:18 below average for the time of year despite some spells of sunshine across parts of the north and feeling cooler with the thicker cloud and
01:24 the rain and drizzle. We may see some heavier bursts of rain over the Midlands, East Anglia and the southeast for a time
01:29 during Tuesday evening before that tends to scoot away. And then signs of something a bit warmer
01:36 arriving. Initially with this cloud coming into the west that will turn things quite murky again around some coasts and we could see some
01:43 rain and drizzle certainly across Northern Ireland during Wednesday.
01:46 But for many I think we'll see some lengthy spells of sunshine on Wednesday
01:51 and we will start to see the temperatures rising. Even where it clouds over in the west, we're likely to have a warmer feel to the
01:57 day with highs into the 20s and with some sunnier spells in the east, 23-24 Celsius is possible and temperatures rising further
02:05 for Thursday, where we could see temperatures maybe as high as 27, perhaps even 28 degrees Celsius.
02:12 We haven't seen that for quite some time and that is because
02:16 high pressure is moving in and the weather systems are being steered away up towards Iceland.
02:21 So we're getting warmer air wafted up from the south along with that area of high pressure. Not promising blue skies everywhere
02:28 and I'm certainly not promising it will last all that long because there is a cold front
02:32 waiting to sweep away all that warmer air by the time we get to Friday and the weekend.
02:38 But certainly through Wednesday and Thursday temperatures will be rising. More details on that in our full detailed week ahead
02:45 forecast on our YouTube channels.
02:47 And of course, there's always more right across social media.
