00:00Hi there, we've seen plenty of interesting contrasts and changes with the UK's weather
00:06during the last week or so and there are more of those to come during the next few days.
00:11At first it's going to turn unsettled, then it's going to turn colder. But for the time
00:16being there is a slice of clear skies crossing the country heading south-eastwards overnight.
00:23Under the clear skies it's going to be a fresher light compared with recent nights with temperatures
00:27in most places high single figures or low double figures. But across northern and increasingly
00:33western parts of the UK showery rain moves in, the winds pick up strength and it is a
00:38very blustery start to Tuesday. Certainly across northern areas with a spell of wet
00:44weather pushing through Scotland and Northern Ireland heading into Northern England and
00:47North Wales by lunchtime. Followed by blustery showers and some more prolonged rain across
00:52Shetland and Orkney, risk of some localised flooding and disruption because of that rain,
00:5740 and in some places 80 millimetres accumulating through the day. All of that accompanied by
01:02strong winds with risk of gales in the far north and north-east of Scotland, 50, perhaps
01:06more mile per hour wind gusts. So a turbulent spell of weather especially for north-east
01:13Scotland but for many it's a blustery day with rain followed by showers, the rain pushing
01:18into south Wales, the Midlands and southern England by the end of the afternoon and into
01:22the evening. It could just about scrape 19 or 20 Celsius in the far south and south-east,
01:27certainly feeling much colder further north, particularly for north-east Scotland with
01:32that wind turning around this area of low pressure to come from the Arctic. And with
01:39that Arctic airflow, well you can see the contrasting colours, we had a much warmer
01:45than average spell at the end of last week, we're going into a much colder than average
01:49spell over the next few days, temperatures down several degrees by comparison to where
01:55they typically sit at this time of year. Now it's a wet evening across southern counties
02:00of England but that rain does swiftly move into the continent and then clear skies follows
02:04and we're into this blustery north to north-westerly airflow, an airflow that is more common in
02:11the winter but not unheard of at this time of year. With the winds coming from the Arctic
02:15it's certainly going to feel colder and it's going to be a cool night with clear skies
02:20widely and temperatures in the single figures widely as well. They would be colder if the
02:25wind wasn't so brisk. But it is going to be a brisk wind and it's going to feel cold in
02:31that wind on Wednesday. There'll be some sunshine around, especially in the south and the east
02:35at times, although just about anywhere could catch a shower. The most frequent showers
02:40will be across the north and north-west, a fair number of them running through the Cheshire
02:44Gap into parts of the Midlands. North Wales also subject to a lot of showers. Northern
02:48Scotland, northern parts of Northern Ireland, basically anywhere exposed to a north-northwesterly
02:54wind and those showers are going to be merging to give longer spells of rain in some of the
02:58most exposed spots as well. Perhaps even some rumbles of thunder and some flashes of lightning.
03:05But away from the showers, some sunny spells out of the wind, not feeling too unpleasant.
03:10Only in the south, compared with the end of last week, the rain won't be constant so
03:14that's one thing that has to be said for it. The showers though will be heavy where they
03:19do come through. And then further showers to come on Thursday before eventually things
03:24start to dry up for a time on Friday, although more rain to come in the north heading into
03:28the weekend.
