:04:26. > :04:37.We have got some messy weather coming up. It is going to be a bit

:04:38. > :04:42.of a nightmare for forecasters so stay tuned. There will be a bit of

:04:43. > :04:46.rain here and there tonight. Nothing too heavy or persistent. It is going

:04:47. > :04:49.to be milder tonight but pretty windy. By the end of the night,

:04:50. > :04:52.there is persistent rain in the West. That is the weather front and

:04:53. > :04:56.that all cause some trouble this week because it will wriggle around.

:04:57. > :05:01.Never moving too far. Bringing the risk of rain most days but not all

:05:02. > :05:08.the time. Tomorrow we are likely to see more rain by the end of the day

:05:09. > :05:23.and warm weather. It will brighten up in the East with some sunshine.

:05:24. > :05:27.Strong gusty winds also be around. Head of it is lovely with

:05:28. > :05:32.temperatures up into the law or mid-. Before the rain arrives in

:05:33. > :05:38.Northern Ireland, temperatures could take 20 or 21 degrees. Cooler once

:05:39. > :05:42.the rain arrives. A damp and the day in the east by brightening up wet

:05:43. > :05:49.sunshine here and there across the West. Let us look at a weather front

:05:50. > :05:57.again. It is not too far away from us. It could be back across in fact.

:05:58. > :06:02.Ahead of it, 31 degrees in London. Throw that in mind if you're heading

:06:03. > :06:09.there this week. There will be some sunshine around whereas it stays

:06:10. > :06:14.cloudy in the north and west. It is very much an east-west picture this

:06:15. > :06:20.week. It should start moving away from us, that weather front, by the

:06:21. > :06:25.end of the week with that breeze picking up by Friday. The risk of

:06:26. > :06:26.rain most days but not particularly cold. The winds easing after

:06:27. > :06:29.tomorrow.
