:03:52. > :03:54.Despite nothing tangible on the line, there was plenty

:04:00. > :04:07.Now for a look at the weather for the week ahead.

:04:08. > :04:18.Hello, there. Good evening. It looks as though that fine spell of weather

:04:19. > :04:25.will soon end. But at least we start the new week on a settled note. In a

:04:26. > :04:29.lot of dry weather, if rather cloudy. From midweek, that will

:04:30. > :04:34.change. It will be more unsettled with rain, showers and wind.

:04:35. > :04:38.Tonight, a north-west of the breeze. It will bring more work load again

:04:39. > :04:43.and there will be some spots of rain and drizzle, particularly in the

:04:44. > :04:50.north and west. Generally still dry with those settling between 3-5dC.

:04:51. > :04:55.We start next week on a dry note. Large amounts of cloud for tomorrow.

:04:56. > :05:02.It will start pretty cloudy. But apart from the odd spot of rain, it

:05:03. > :05:05.is generally dry. Some patchy rain towards the West. We will also get

:05:06. > :05:10.cloud bringing occasional rain and drizzle into northern and western

:05:11. > :05:14.Scotland. For England and Wales, a good deal of cloud. Some showers,

:05:15. > :05:19.but generally dry. Some bright spells towards the east and morsel

:05:20. > :05:23.for Northern England, southern Scotland and bright spells for the

:05:24. > :05:27.east side of Ireland as well. Tomorrow afternoon, lots of cloud,

:05:28. > :05:35.but the chance of some breaks developing. Highs of 9-10dC. We

:05:36. > :05:40.start the new week with high pressure. It soon starts to shrink

:05:41. > :05:46.away and then we get a weak weather front moving in. We have a more

:05:47. > :05:52.active weather system to follow on Thursday. Tuesday is still dry, just

:05:53. > :05:57.some patchy rain and drizzle in western extremities. Rest of the

:05:58. > :06:01.sunshine towards the east, with temperatures in double figures.

:06:02. > :06:06.Cloudy in the West add-on Wednesday, patchy rain followed by sharp

:06:07. > :06:11.showers in northern and western areas. Still dry and break across

:06:12. > :06:13.much of England at this point. On Thursday, as that weather front

:06:14. > :06:15.approaches, more wet and windy weather.
