12:54 am
and northern ireland will mean a chilly start here. we've got the early rain in north wales and northern england moving northwards and largely petering out across southern scotland. later in the day we'll see some rain arriving in northern ireland. this rain in the south—west of england pushes back into wales and some showery bursts of rain arrive in southern england and later into the midlands. but ahead of that, we'll get some sunshine for a while in the midlands and eastern england, so temperatures back up to a healthy 17 or 18 degrees. now, if you're hoping to get a view of the partial solar eclipse in northern and western parts of the uk — well, it could be spoiled by all this cloud that's coming in and the outbreaks of rain as well. now we've seen the back of one area of low pressure, but there's another one arriving. this is one that's going to sit around overnight and into tuesday and it's going to take the rain northwards all the way into scotland by tuesday morning. the rain curving back into england and wales around the low, turning to drift away eastwards into the north sea, allowing brighter but more showery weather to come into southern and western areas and the winds will be picking up as well. we're looking at gale force winds around some southern and western coasts of england and wales. and with the winds picking up and that cloud and showery rain
12:55 am
around, temperatures are going to be a lot lower. it's going to be a cooler day on tuesday. our top temperatures are only 11 or 12 degrees, and that's because we're seeing this north—westerly wind picking up on tuesday into tuesday night. but i don't think that cool air is going to last long. out in the atlantic there is milder air and that's following this weather front, which is going to bring cloud and rain in from the west. ahead of that, though, eastern areas starting dry on wednesday with some early sunshine, but soon clouding over. rain in the west pushes eastwards, heavy rain for a while in northern ireland, the hills and north—west england and also into scotland. lighter rain as you head further south across the uk. but it's gradually getting a little bit warmer on wednesday despite all that cloud —14, maybe 15 degrees. but the wind direction is changing — we're getting a south—westerly wind. that is going to bring warmer weather back across the whole of the uk towards the end of the week and temperatures could be back up to around 20 celsius at best.
