00:00Plenty more sunny and settled weather to come through much of this week. Good news for most of
00:05us, not so good news for the farmers who could do with a bit of rain. Not much of that in the
00:09forecast for the time being with high pressure firmly in control and it's this high pressure
00:14that's going to lead to a calm and clear night for many of us overnight. Not a lot of cloud around,
00:19that being said there will be some cloud in a few places, particularly the far north of Scotland,
00:23Orkney, Shetland, maybe the far north of mainland Scotland as well, a bit more cloud developing
00:28overnight. Also a bit of cloud feeding into some parts of eastern England around the Humber,
00:33could be some low clouds, some mist, some fog patches developing and even elsewhere with the
00:38clear calm weather I'm expecting a few patches of mist and fog to develop as well. Those clear
00:43skies and generally light winds also allowing for temperatures to take a bit of a dip. Most
00:48towns and cities just about holding up above freezing but in rural spots we could see a bit
00:54of a frost. In fact across some parts of Scotland, the sheltered glens, we're likely to see temperatures
00:58dropping as low as they did last night really, so minus five, minus six perhaps in some places. So a
01:04chilly start to the day tomorrow and there could be some mist and fog around like I said but this
01:09should relatively quickly clear for most of us, perhaps lingering for a bit longer across some
01:13parts of eastern Scotland, some sea fog perhaps and also around some parts of eastern England.
01:18And worth bearing in mind, similar to this morning really, we could have this slice of cloud
01:22around southern parts of London for a time but that should clear and then well there's going to
01:27be plenty of fine weather on offer. Perhaps not quite as sunny as today, there's likely to be a
01:33bit more high level cloud around so the sunshine will be a bit hazy at times and a bit more
01:37cumulus strata, cumulus clouds going to bubble up as we go through the day. So not necessarily
01:42the wall-to-wall blue skies that we've seen through today but nonetheless plenty of fine
01:47sunny weather on offer. And with that temperatures are going to be similar, perhaps even a touch
01:52higher for some places. Western Scotland for example likely to be a degree or so higher than
01:56today, the highs in the mid to high teens quite widely. As we go through the evening and overnight
02:01tomorrow, staying fine for most places but a bit more cloud pushing its way in from the north
02:07and the northeast and there will still be a few pockets of mist and fog further west but yes it's
02:12the cloudier skies developing across eastern parts that are going to be quite a change to the story
02:18for some. With that being in mind temperatures generally not falling quite as low as they will
02:23through this coming night so most places holding up a few degrees above freezing especially in your
02:29more built-up areas. But yes because of that cloud that's coming in overnight eastern parts starting
02:34the day on Wednesday a bit grayer, a bit more cloud around. Some of this will burn back as we go
02:39through the day but eastern coastal areas could actually stay pretty gray through much of the day.
02:44Across central western parts though a different story, lots of fine sunny weather on offer and
02:49again it's in the west that we're going to have the highest temperatures, mid to high teens once
02:54more. Further east under that cloud temperatures are going to be a little bit suppressed but as we
03:00go later on in the week and with the high pressure shifting a little bit we're going to change our
03:06wind direction so instead our winds are going to be coming in from the west. That means eastern parts
03:10will have probably the highest temperatures as we go through Thursday and into Friday but we do need
03:15to bear in mind that we're likely to see a front pushing its way southwards by the end of the week
03:19bringing some rain particularly to parts of Scotland. Further south staying dry for the time
03:24being but a bit of rain is quite likely as we head into next week. That's awfully far away though so
03:29let's not worry about that for the time being. If you want more information about this week's
03:32weather do check out the week ahead forecast with Honour otherwise I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
