00:00Hi there, the weather will turn sunnier and a little warmer during the next few days but
00:04before we get there, it's a cloudy and relatively cold start to the new week with a lot of relatively
00:11low cloud across the UK for Monday afternoon.
00:14The thickest cloud will remain across the south and south-west with a few light showers
00:18here.
00:19Showers towards the north-east tending to fade away and brighter skies beginning to
00:23emerge by the end of the afternoon into some eastern and northern parts but for most it's
00:28going to stay cloudy and it's going to feel on the cold side particularly where we've
00:32got that brisk wind in the south and south-west and the east coast as well will feel chilly
00:38with the wind coming from the North Sea but that wind is going to import increasingly
00:43dry and clear air overnight with those clear skies becoming widespread into the north and
00:49east of the UK, later into the south as well.
00:52Now in the south we keep that breeze so it's going to stay frost free here and Northern
00:57Ireland we keep a lot of cloud but elsewhere a widespread frost forming some parts of Northern
01:02UK seeing temperatures below minus 5 Celsius.
01:06A chilly but bright start to the day for Scotland, Northern, Central and Eastern England, plenty
01:11of blue skies developing across the bulk of Britain but for Northern Ireland we keep cloudier
01:16skies although some sunshine starts to emerge into the east towards the end of the day.
01:23It's going to still feel relatively cold in the wind but out of the wind with the increasing
01:28spells of sunshine and temperatures a little higher compared with Monday feeling a bit
01:31more pleasant.
01:32Top temperature 11, 12 or even 13 Celsius in one or two spots.
01:37Now overnight on Tuesday again we see clear skies, we see that breeze and as a result
01:43temperatures are going to fall away from windward coasts but as we go through Wednesday, Thursday
01:50and indeed into the start of Friday we're going to continue to see southerly or southeasterly
01:55winds bring milder and sunnier weather across the whole of the UK but eventually by the
02:00end of the week this area of low pressure will come into play bringing increasing spells
02:04of showers in from the southwest leading to a wetter weekend for many of us.
