00:00There's more autumnal weather to come as we go through the next few days.
00:03Most of us will have some showers or even some longer spells of rain,
00:06which could be quite heavy, could even be thundery.
00:09But let's look at the bigger picture currently,
00:11and we do still have a mature area of low pressure to the northwest,
00:15driving the blustery weather and plenty of showers.
00:18Then there's a front that's going to come in from the southwest as we go through tonight.
00:23And then another feature that I wanted to highlight,
00:25it's this frontal system that's set to bring some pretty unsettled weather
00:29but as we go through Wednesday, most of us will see some heavy rain due to that
00:33and most of us will see some strong winds.
00:35But as we run through, you can see that front fringing across southern parts as we go through tomorrow
00:40and then this feature that then pushes in on Wednesday.
00:43Like I said, it is going to be an unsettled day.
00:46But back to the here and now, plenty of showers around through today.
00:49Most of them are actually going to die out and ease through this evening and the start of the night,
00:53albeit across central western Scotland.
00:55Plenty more showers continuing here, some of them heavy,
00:58some of them still thundery and a few showers for western parts of England and Wales,
01:02perhaps some towards the south coast of England too.
01:05Also towards the south coast, well more so the southwest,
01:08a bit more cloud pushing in as we go later on in the night
01:11with some more persistent rain fringing into parts of Cornwall as well.
01:15Now where we get the drier, clearer weather,
01:17it is going to be a little bit cooler than it was last night.
01:20Yes, towns and cities holding up in double figures,
01:22but some rural spots just about dropping into single digits.
01:25So a bit of a fresher start perhaps for some,
01:28but a bright sunny one for many, not in the south.
01:31Here there's a lot of cloud, particularly towards the southwest,
01:34and that cloud and that rain is all feeding its way east
01:37and a little bit further northeastwards as we go through the day.
01:41So a spell of wet weather, the rain could be heavy,
01:44could have some thunder mixed in with it,
01:45and even as it clears away towards the east,
01:48showers developing across parts of the southwest later on as well.
01:52Further north, there will also be showers around.
01:54These still pretty heavy across parts of Scotland,
01:56particularly in the west-northwest,
01:59and there could be some thunder, some lightning, some hail with that.
02:02Elsewhere, the showers don't look like they'll be quite as widespread,
02:06not quite as severe as the ones that we saw through Monday.
02:08Nonetheless, the odd heavy shower is possible.
02:11In between the showers, which we'll be hit and miss by their very nature,
02:14there will be some bright or sunny spells,
02:17perhaps quite a bit of cloud actually across central parts,
02:19but most other places seeing some sunshine at some point,
02:22and when you get that sunshine, well,
02:24temperatures will get into the high teens, low 20s,
02:27so some decent warmth still.
02:29It's only the beginning of autumn after all,
02:31but we're factoring in the blustery winds,
02:34especially around the showers,
02:35and so that will make it feel a little bit fresher.
02:38Now, through the evening,
02:39we are going to see that rain in the south-southeast eventually clearing away.
02:43It still could bring some heavy bursts for a little while
02:44across parts of East Anglia and elsewhere.
02:46A few showers here or there, but most of them dying out,
02:49and then some dry weather for a time,
02:51but then in somewhat of a repeat performance,
02:53there's that other system coming in from the south-west,
02:56but this one looks a bit more potent,
02:59and it looks like it's going to bring more unsettled weather
03:01than the one in the south through Tuesday,
03:03and so really across much of Wales,
03:05central, southern, south-western England,
03:07it's going to turn cloudy, it's going to turn wet,
03:09and also windy as we head towards dawn on Wednesday morning.
03:12Further north and east, starting the day on a drier note,
03:16and some clear skies, particularly across northern parts here.
03:18Temperatures, if anything, look like they'll be a little bit lower
03:21on Tuesday night than through this coming night,
03:23but elsewhere with the unsettled weather,
03:25as you would expect,
03:26that cloud, the rain, the wind,
03:28is going to stop temperatures from dropping particularly low.
03:31All this unsettled weather in the south-west
03:33does continue its progress north-eastwards
03:35as we go through the day.
03:36Worth bearing in mind, the rain could be quite heavy,
03:38that could cause some impacts,
03:39and also the winds are going to be quite strong,
03:41risk of gales, especially towards the south coast.
03:44So, obviously, it is the first day back to school
03:46for many places.
03:47It is going to be a pretty miserable journey in
03:49for quite a few spots because of the wet and windy weather.
03:53That rain eventually reaching parts of the far east-northeast,
03:56Shetland, for example,
03:57as we go through into the afternoon.
03:59Elsewhere, well, there will be some dry weather
04:02around western parts of Scotland,
04:03actually avoiding the heaviest rain
04:06and the strongest winds as well.
04:08And towards the south,
04:09as that rain clears away north-eastwards,
04:11we are going to see something a bit drier,
04:13a bit brighter,
04:13but also a fair few showers following in behind.
04:16Some of these could be heavy,
04:17could have some thunder mixed in,
04:19and they could even merge into some longer spells of rain.
04:22Where it's raining, where it's windy,
04:24well, these temperatures on paper
04:26really don't mean a huge amount,
04:27mid to high teens in some places,
04:29and feeling several degrees lower than this
04:31when we're going to have the unsettled weather.
04:34But, you know, in the shelter from the breeze,
04:37later on with some sunshine breaking out in the south,
04:39could just about get into the low 20s once again.
04:42As we go through later on this week,
04:44we are going to see that weather system
04:46clearing away towards the north-east.
04:47That leads us into a showery day on Thursday,
04:50showers continuing to pile in from the west-north-west.
04:53And then by Friday,
04:54well, we do have high pressure to the south-east of us,
04:57so that's actually going to bring some drier weather
04:59to large chunks of the UK.
05:01But another frontal system coming in from the north-west,
05:04well, that's going to bring some wetter weather here.
05:06So a bit of a north-west-south-east split.
05:09The closer you are towards the south-east,
05:11the greater chance you have of staying dry.
05:13But exactly where this boundary will be,
05:15well, that's still to be determined.
05:17But nonetheless, it does look like
05:19there will be some more wet weather towards the north-west,
05:21whereas for many parts of the country,
05:22actually, Friday's set to be the driest day of the week.
05:26But for more information about this week's weather,
05:28well, why don't you check out

05:34Bye-bye.
