:04:03. > :04:08.let's see how the start of the new week is shaping up
:04:09. > :04:20.with Barra Best. It's been a fine day, the warmest
:04:21. > :04:26.weekend of the year so far across the board and we hold on to above
:04:27. > :04:31.average temperatures this week at low pressure is on its way so it
:04:32. > :04:37.will turn more unsettled, but for this evening and night it's fine and
:04:38. > :04:42.calm, temperatures for many towns and cities of four or 6 degrees but
:04:43. > :04:47.in the countryside it will be chillier, so a few of us could wake
:04:48. > :04:52.up to a slight frost. Otherwise we begin the week on a final note,
:04:53. > :04:58.plenty of dry weather, or cloud but it will break. There will be rays of
:04:59. > :05:03.sunshine from the beginning of the day and the winds will stay light.
:05:04. > :05:09.If you are travelling across Britain or Ireland it will be a fine day for
:05:10. > :05:13.us all, plenty of dry weather, good amount of sunshine and the winds
:05:14. > :05:18.will be light, and temperatures will be above average for the time of
:05:19. > :05:25.year. For us, towns and cities around 11 or 12 degrees but where we
:05:26. > :05:29.get the best sunshine we could hit 14 or 15, most likely in parts of
:05:30. > :05:35.the West, a little cooler on the East Coast but even here with the
:05:36. > :05:40.sunshine it will be fine. It will stay dry tomorrow evening and
:05:41. > :05:44.overnight into Tuesday. Tuesday gets off to a dry start but then low
:05:45. > :05:51.pressure takes control and it will be more unsettled, a scattering of
:05:52. > :05:56.showers, a little breezier for the East Coast, maybe blustery for some
:05:57. > :06:02.of us, in plants still reaching 13 or 14 degrees so mild for the time
:06:03. > :06:06.of year. As we go towards the Midway, and for the rest of the week
:06:07. > :06:11.it will be unsettled, a little windy, some scattered showers, not
:06:12. > :06:17.always rainy as there will be sunshine and we hold up temperatures
:06:18. > :06:18.of 13 or 14 degrees. Stay tuned to the forecast.
