0:00:02 > 0:00:05I'll start and end this forecast with an area of high pressure.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Some variations in between which we will cover
0:00:07 > 0:00:08in the next three and a half minutes.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11For much of the country, Monday is a bank holiday
0:00:11 > 0:00:12and this area of high pressure
0:00:12 > 0:00:14bringing something very settled and warm
0:00:14 > 0:00:16for much of England and Wales.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But further north and west, a different story.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20A squeeze in the isobars strengthening the winds
0:00:20 > 0:00:22across Northern Ireland and Scotland
0:00:22 > 0:00:23and bringing some outbreaks
0:00:23 > 0:00:25of potentially heavy rain here.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27A lot more cloud across northern parts of England,
0:00:27 > 0:00:28western parts of Wales,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30but for east Wales and for much of England,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32dry, plenty of sunshine.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Quite a range in temperature, as you would expect.
0:00:35 > 0:00:3717 Celsius to the north-west of Scotland,
0:00:37 > 0:00:38but in the best of the sunshine
0:00:38 > 0:00:40across central, eastern,
0:00:40 > 0:00:41south-eastern parts of England,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43we could potentially see highs of 28 Celsius
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and it will be a fine end to the day here.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48A different story further north
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and west as that band of rain sinks its way south
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and eastwards through the evening
0:00:52 > 0:00:53and overnight across parts
0:00:53 > 0:00:55of northern England, northern parts of Wales.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58An improving picture across Scotland and Northern Ireland,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59but still very windy here
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and it will be a mild night
0:01:01 > 0:01:02with temperatures building up
0:01:02 > 0:01:04to between 10 and 15 Celsius for most,
0:01:04 > 0:01:0716 or 17 across south-eastern parts of the country.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Now, that front continues to slip its way south
0:01:10 > 0:01:11and eastwards through Tuesday.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's a weakening affair
0:01:13 > 0:01:14so through Tuesday morning,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16there could be some patchy light rain and drizzle,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19say, across the Midlands, some parts of Wales,
0:01:19 > 0:01:20but that will soon fizzle out.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22A lot of cloud around on Tuesday,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but generally a dry day.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Still windy across Northern Ireland and Scotland
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and certainly a fresher feel for much of north-western
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and western parts of the country,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34but still holding on to some warmth and humidity
0:01:34 > 0:01:36the further east and south-east you go.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Now, let's look ahead to Wednesday
0:01:38 > 0:01:41because we're being attacked from two fronts -
0:01:41 > 0:01:42one from this system in the Atlantic
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and another pushing up from the near continent
0:01:45 > 0:01:47so it brings a slightly more unsettled day.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49If we're going to see any rain at all in the week,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51it will probably be on Wednesday.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The exact detail a little bit hard to define at this stage,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56but it will be a cloudier day.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58There will be some outbreaks of rain at times,
0:01:58 > 0:01:59but it won't be raining all day
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and the rain unlikely to amount to very much.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04What we will see is generally fresher conditions
0:02:04 > 0:02:06across the whole country,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08midweek 16 to 20 Celsius the high.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now, as we go into Thursday,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13these systems slowly push their way eastwards.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Some of it may just linger for a time
0:02:15 > 0:02:17on Thursday morning across south-east England,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20but aside from a few showers across Northern Ireland
0:02:20 > 0:02:21and Scotland on Thursday,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23much of the country will have a dry day.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25There'll be some spells of sunshine,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28temperatures typically between 17 and 21 Celsius
0:02:28 > 0:02:29in light winds.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It should feel quite pleasant out and about
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and it's almost a repeat performance on Friday.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Mainly dry, one or two showers,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37but in the sunshine, a high of 21 Celsius
0:02:37 > 0:02:39really should feel quite pleasant indeed.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41But we look to the south-west,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43the western south-west later on Friday
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and it's this area of low pressure
0:02:45 > 0:02:46which is fairly close by.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49However, it looks like this area of high pressure
0:02:49 > 0:02:52is going to dominate as we head into the weekend
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and what that will do
0:02:54 > 0:02:57is deflect any low pressure systems.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Its exact position may well change
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and it could just allow that low pressure system
0:03:02 > 0:03:04to bring maybe a little bit more cloud,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05maybe some patchy rain
0:03:05 > 0:03:07to the far north-west of Scotland
0:03:07 > 0:03:08and for Ireland,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10but otherwise a lot of dry weather
0:03:10 > 0:03:11into the weekend
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and we're drawing up this warm air
0:03:13 > 0:03:14from the near continent
0:03:14 > 0:03:16so particularly across southern and eastern areas
0:03:16 > 0:03:18as we go into early September,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19there should be some warmth,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21it should be largely settled.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22I can't rule out one or two showers,
0:03:22 > 0:03:23but it looks like
0:03:23 > 0:03:25there's a lot of dry weather
0:03:25 > 0:03:27into the start of next moth. Bye-bye.
