:11:47. > :11:52.Hello. Good evening if you want one word to sum-up our weather at the
:11:53. > :11:57.moment, it is messy and the cause of that mess is right here. This area
:11:58. > :12:00.of low pressure swirling around in the Atlantic, drawing this weather
:12:01. > :12:04.front towards it and dragging the rain across Ireland through the next
:12:05. > :12:09.few days. It will waiver north. It will waiver south. Tonight, the rain
:12:10. > :12:15.is sitting to the south of us, but after midnight it will push north
:12:16. > :12:20.spreading in all parts. Tomorrow, is going to start rather as today did,
:12:21. > :12:24.a bit of a soggy note. It will improve, but this time the front is
:12:25. > :12:28.leaving us to the north, it is pulling away into the North Sea. So
:12:29. > :12:32.we will get some clearing skies, but they'll clear first across County
:12:33. > :12:35.Down and push further north. If we take the wider view, you can see
:12:36. > :12:39.what's going on, we have cooler air to the north of the front and warmer
:12:40. > :12:43.air to the south of it. 17 Celsius in London tomorrow which is in
:12:44. > :12:48.marked contrast to what we will be seeing. On a dry afternoon with the
:12:49. > :12:53.temperatures up to ten or 11 Celsius. But still feeling pretty
:12:54. > :12:57.grey and overcast. Now we have said farewell to the weather front, but
:12:58. > :13:01.it is coming back. It returns on Wednesday. This time, it is heading
:13:02. > :13:06.south and the front is fragmenting so it will be more showery in nature
:13:07. > :13:10.as that rain makes its way across Northern Ireland, staying grey and
:13:11. > :13:14.cloudy know with top temperatures of nine or ten Celsius. The
:13:15. > :13:18.temperatures remain pretty constant, but it is still not the nicest week.
