0:00:03 > 0:00:05Such is the strength of sun at this time of year

0:00:05 > 0:00:07that Saturday may actually have felt pretty warm

0:00:07 > 0:00:09to some of you, but temperatures compared to last weekend

0:00:09 > 0:00:11were a good 10 to 13 degrees down.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13We've been on the wrong side

0:00:13 > 0:00:14of an area of high pressure,

0:00:14 > 0:00:16out to the west, we were on the cold side,

0:00:16 > 0:00:18dragging down the winds from the Arctic,

0:00:18 > 0:00:20and you felt that chill across eastern coasts

0:00:20 > 0:00:23on Saturday, with a bit more cloud

0:00:23 > 0:00:24and also breeze.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25That's still there on Sunday,

0:00:25 > 0:00:27but the breeze easing down a little bit,

0:00:27 > 0:00:30high pressure has nudged in a bit closer to us.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31It's also helped to bring in more cloud

0:00:31 > 0:00:33to the far north of Scotland for Sunday.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36A few showers in that, and a few afternoon showers

0:00:36 > 0:00:37for northern England, the east Midlands,

0:00:37 > 0:00:39towards East Anglia and potentially along

0:00:39 > 0:00:41southern parts of Sussex and Kent.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43But on the face of it, temperature values

0:00:43 > 0:00:45much as they were during Saturday,

0:00:45 > 0:00:47though it may feel warmer for some of you.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49More cloud to end Sunday compared with Saturday,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51and that cloud will stop the temperature

0:00:51 > 0:00:52dropping away too much.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Notice the winds, though, starting to switch

0:00:54 > 0:00:56into a westerly direction.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Sunday night into Monday, not as cold.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59If you're going to see a frost,

0:00:59 > 0:01:01it's going to be very, very isolated indeed.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Monday, we've still got that ridge of high pressure with us,

0:01:04 > 0:01:05it's going to hold on,

0:01:05 > 0:01:07keeping things largely dry,

0:01:07 > 0:01:09but because we are not bringing the air down

0:01:09 > 0:01:11from the north, more off the Atlantic,

0:01:11 > 0:01:13it does mean it's going to bring

0:01:13 > 0:01:14more cloud than we've been used to

0:01:14 > 0:01:16through this weekend.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Whilst there will be sunny spells,

0:01:17 > 0:01:19always a few cloudier moments during the day,

0:01:19 > 0:01:21and yes, the chance of some showers,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23very isolated, mainly across

0:01:23 > 0:01:24northern parts of the UK

0:01:24 > 0:01:26and perhaps down this eastern part as well,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29but temperatures across eastern coast of Scotland,

0:01:29 > 0:01:31eastern England, starting to rise.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33And they will rise further through this week -

0:01:33 > 0:01:34a warmer week in store for you, at least,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37as we start to see the winds coming off the Atlantic.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38That process starts as we go into Tuesday -

0:01:38 > 0:01:40the high pressure sinks to the south of us,

0:01:40 > 0:01:42will allow south-westerly winds to develop.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Very light at this stage, for the most part.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Sunniest across eastern areas,

0:01:46 > 0:01:47clouding over in the west later,

0:01:47 > 0:01:49some rain, particularly to the west of Scotland

0:01:49 > 0:01:51and Northern Ireland later -

0:01:51 > 0:01:53a few heavier bursts going into the evening.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54But temperatures widely

0:01:54 > 0:01:56in the mid to potentially high teens.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Now, as this weather front pushes through

0:01:58 > 0:01:59the night into Wednesday,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02we'll see some heavy bursts of rain here and there.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's going to be a fairly showery feature

0:02:04 > 0:02:06and same again on Wednesday -

0:02:06 > 0:02:08occasional heavy, maybe thundery, showers.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10The overriding thing, though, for Wednesday

0:02:10 > 0:02:12is the wind strength - the windiest day

0:02:12 > 0:02:13we have had for quite a while.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Temperatures still up, holding up into the mid-teens,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17maybe dropping later on

0:02:17 > 0:02:18as we start to pull in colder air

0:02:18 > 0:02:21on the western flank of that low pressure system.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23As we go into Thursday, though,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25it all cruxes on where this is going.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27There is a chance it may move to the south of us,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29across northern France, southern England,

0:02:29 > 0:02:32there's a chance it may develop into more of a low

0:02:32 > 0:02:34and push across the central swathe of the UK.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35At the moment, we're dealing with it

0:02:35 > 0:02:37as an area of more persistent rain,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39pushing through the Channel, some showers

0:02:39 > 0:02:41and heavy spells of rain further north,

0:02:41 > 0:02:43but a little sunshine in-between

0:02:43 > 0:02:44and then things turn blustery later.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46That is one aspect of the forecast

0:02:46 > 0:02:48which could change.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Either way, what happens on Thursday,

0:02:50 > 0:02:52towards the end of the week, into next weekend,

0:02:52 > 0:02:54we have a Jet Stream which is set

0:02:54 > 0:02:56to buckle its way across the UK

0:02:56 > 0:02:57and, in doing so, it's set to bring

0:02:57 > 0:02:59an area of low pressure our way,

0:02:59 > 0:03:01which will bring some more wet and windy weather.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03So, the general story for the week

0:03:03 > 0:03:06is that temperatures will be rising, dragging the winds off the Atlantic,

0:03:06 > 0:03:08so gone are the cool conditions of the weekend.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10But windier weather than we have seen for a while

0:03:10 > 0:03:12and also some wetter weather at times too.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14But by the time we get into the following week,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16signs are high pressure will

0:03:16 > 0:03:17build in from the south-west.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19It may bring further showers around,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21and a rather cool flow from the north-west of the UK,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23but with heat building across the near continent,

0:03:23 > 0:03:25if that high pressure is a little further east,

0:03:25 > 0:03:28we will drag warmth back our way,

0:03:28 > 0:03:30and we'll keep you updated on that in the next few days.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33They might tell me one of my twins has died.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35They are not going to say that baby.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I don't know how he's going to come out of there.
