:04:22. > :04:23.Make sure to leave plenty of extra time to travel in the morning.
:04:24. > :04:27.As we head through the day, we will see that mist and fog lift.
:04:28. > :04:30.We will see one or two spots of rain but, for most of us,
:04:31. > :04:34.We will see highs tomorrow of around seven or eight Celsius,
:04:35. > :04:36.so it is a little bit on the chilly side.
:04:37. > :04:40.Over the next couple of days, we hang onto an awful lot of cloud.
:04:41. > :04:43.Temperatures stay in single digits and, as we head into Wednesday,
:04:44. > :04:45.we should see a spell of wet and windy weather pushing

:05:08. > :05:13.Good evening. It's a big week for pre-Christmas travel plans and the
:05:14. > :05:16.weather can be quite challenging at times, too. We start the week with
:05:17. > :05:20.the issue of fog once again. Just about anywhere on the hills on
:05:21. > :05:24.Monday morning but at its most extensive at lower levels across
:05:25. > :05:26.parts of western England and Wales, particularly towards the south-west,
:05:27. > :05:30.it could hamper your morning journey and some of the airports. Maybe not
:05:31. > :05:34.as extensive as it has been through the weekend in East Anglia and the
:05:35. > :05:38.south-east but fairly great start for many. Damp, too, in parts of
:05:39. > :05:40.Scotland and Northern Ireland but brightening up later. Subtle hints
:05:41. > :05:45.of brightness through the cloud elsewhere. It does stay rather grey
:05:46. > :05:48.and misty and all in all, a fairly cool day. We finish Monday with
:05:49. > :05:51.patchy rain and drizzle in eastern England which will push westward,
:05:52. > :05:54.some heavy bursts in and around the English Channel but clear skies
:05:55. > :05:58.through Monday night into Tuesday giving you your coldest night of the
:05:59. > :06:01.week. A widespread frost into Tuesday morning. The Tuesday morning
:06:02. > :06:04.commute could be hampered by dense patches of fog. That will clear as
:06:05. > :06:06.the breeze picks up and sunshine for a time
