0:00:00 > 0:00:04Hello. Rain is in the forecast and we haven't heard that very often.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07This week, the weather is going to be dominated more by
0:00:07 > 0:00:10low pressure rather than high pressure.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13The rain was very hit and miss over the weekend.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15That band of cloud brought some rain for a while
0:00:15 > 0:00:17but otherwise it was sunshine and showers.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20But we look out into the Atlantic and already this cloud is arriving
0:00:20 > 0:00:23and that will bring with it this area of low pressure,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25some outbreaks of rain.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27It is coming from a long way south so it is drawing up some warm air
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and the potential for some heavy rain as well.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33So, as we head into Monday, we have got outbreaks of rain spilling
0:00:33 > 0:00:37across most of the UK, perhaps not very much rain in the south-east.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39The wettest weather is always going to be over the western hills.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42But through the afternoon, the rain tends to ease off a bit.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Where you've got some shelter from the high ground,
0:00:44 > 0:00:45you could get them sunshine.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47For example, around the Moray Firth,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49perhaps in the north-east of England, perhaps into east Wales.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Still some heavier rain over the hills of Wales and tracking its way
0:00:53 > 0:00:56through Lincolnshire. But not that much rain towards the south-east.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Even though there is a lot of cloud around and rain never too far away,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01it is quite warm air,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05so temperatures 16, perhaps 17 degrees, quite widely.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That first area of heavy rain moves away into the North Sea and
0:01:08 > 0:01:10then we could get another dose of heavy rain coming back through
0:01:10 > 0:01:15the Irish Sea into Wales, Scotland and across northern England as well.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18All the while, we've still got this south-westerly wind which will be
0:01:18 > 0:01:20strongest through the Irish Sea and a very mild night,
0:01:20 > 0:01:2214 or 15 degrees perhaps in some areas.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So that is quite a change in the forecast.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Areas of low pressure dominating on Tuesday.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32The main feature - that weather front which is just stranded really
0:01:32 > 0:01:35across the UK. Where it stops, it's difficult to know on Tuesday.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38At the moment it looks like more across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39perhaps the Midlands, Wales
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and the south-west seeing some rain at times.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It doesn't get too far away from the south-east by the end of the day.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But here, we've got some warm and humid air
0:01:48 > 0:01:50so it could be as high as 23 or 24.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Even behind that band of rain
0:01:52 > 0:01:53where we're seeing bands of heavy showers
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and blustery winds,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57it's not particularly cold at all.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Things start to change again on Tuesday.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01That weather front is a little further
0:02:01 > 0:02:02towards the south-east of the UK
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and it threatens to bring some heavier rain
0:02:04 > 0:02:07to south-east England and East Anglia.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08This is probably going to be
0:02:08 > 0:02:09the wettest day of the week
0:02:09 > 0:02:10for this part of the UK.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Away from here, some sunny spells.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Blustery showers in the north-west,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16but temperatures will be a bit lower
0:02:16 > 0:02:18by a few degrees on Wednesday
0:02:18 > 0:02:19and that warm and muggy air
0:02:19 > 0:02:22is getting pushed away into central Europe instead.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It's cooler air that's going to dominate our weather
0:02:25 > 0:02:26from Thursday onwards
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and that means sunshine and showers.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30The rain in the south-east
0:02:30 > 0:02:32out into the near continent,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34not much rain for eastern parts of the UK.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36More showers further west,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38but those temperatures round about the mid-teens
0:02:38 > 0:02:40at best on Thursday
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and then we've got the area of low pressure
0:02:42 > 0:02:45that starts to amble towards the UK
0:02:45 > 0:02:46by the end of the week.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48What that does,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50it just sort of intensifies the showers -
0:02:50 > 0:02:51showers or longer spells of rain,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52some quite gusty winds,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54especially in the south-west,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56and it will feel quite a bit cooler
0:02:56 > 0:02:58with temperatures about 13 degrees or so.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Now, looking ahead into the weekend,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03we're going to find that low pressure
0:03:03 > 0:03:05still very close to the UK -
0:03:05 > 0:03:07that means more showers around.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now it's slowly pushing its way
0:03:09 > 0:03:10towards the near continent
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and there's higher pressure out to the west
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and beyond next weekend,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16we're going to find that high pressure
0:03:16 > 0:03:17slowly pushing into the UK,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19but it is a very slow process
0:03:19 > 0:03:21so western areas becoming drier
0:03:21 > 0:03:22with more sunshine,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24but still across the eastern side of the UK,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25there's a chance of showers
0:03:25 > 0:03:26or some longer spells of rain.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28At least, though, it won't be as windy.
