but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello again. for some of us across east anglia and south—east england, it's going to be a disappointing start to the new working week. on the weather menu today, heavy outbreaks of rain, strong to gale—force winds and this will all conspire to make it feel really quite cold if your‘e out and about. normally, this time of year, temperatures up to 15 degrees across parts of south—east england however underneath this area of persistent rain, large swathes of the day where temperatures struggle to get much above 4 degrees across parts of south—east england and east anglia. the troublemaker then is this area of low pressure. will begin with relatively high pressure, the isobars are pinching together, that's what's bringing the strong winds to these eastern areas, with high pressure with us to the north and west of the uk. we've had clear spells overnight which has allowed temperatures to plummet away.

it's a cold start to the morning. indeed, we've got a number of areas that already have frost, so it'll be a cold start but a fair amount of sunshine first thing. so the best of the sunshine across northern and western parts of the country where again there'll be a lot of dry weather. really, across the midlands into eastern england, a lot of cloud with those cold winds. notice those winds around the east coast, 50—55mph, something like that, and those winds will be with blowing all day, persistent rain across east anglia and south—east england. we could 25—35mm of rain. there is the risk of some localised surface water flooding across eastern counties. temperatures really struggling. where we see the sunshine, we should see highs pushing on into at least double figures. the low pressure will be moving away into the north sea. a little ridge of high pressure for a time ahead of the next atlantic weather system. so, cloud and rain close away from eastern england. sunshine for a time for scotland, england and wales, but the next band of rain comes in quickly from the atlantic to bring some wet weather to northern ireland and as we go through tuesday afternoon, that rain will be arriving across parts of england, wales and scotland.

temperatures coming up a bit, 12—14 degrees for most, but still, a little cool for the time of year. that rain will continue to push eastwards, right the way across the country through tuesday night. by wednesday, it still loiters around central and eastern england but should clear through the day followed by some sunshine but there will be heavy showers moving into the north—west the uk. these, thundery at times. again, temperatures between 10 and 1a degrees. so a bit of a manky start to the week for a number of places, particularly across eastern england, but things will improve and we will get some drier and warmer weather towards the end of the week and next weekend when temperatures push back into the 20s. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika.
