hammered brighton 4—1. you can get all the latest sports news at our website: that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. it has been a bit of a mixed weekend, but for many of us, sunday was a beautiful day. it brightened up pretty nicely. and we had some great pictures sent in by our weather watchers, including this one from helensburgh in argyll and bute. blue skies and waters quite calm. as we head through this coming week, similar scenes, with high pressure often in charge of the weather. things are looking largely dry. some spells of warm sunshine in the next few days before we see a cooler interlude through the middle of the week. the satellite image shows the cloud that we have had. that has been moving in from both the west and also towards the east as well. so a bit of a cloudy sandwich with a clearfilling in between. in the early hours of monday morning, a chilly start with clear skies and light winds.
1:56 am
but it will warm up fairly quickly. we will have that cloud just edging across northern ireland, western parts of scotland, and later on to western fringes of england and wales. also this cloud in the east is bringing some mist and murk to the eastern coast of scotland and a rather cool breeze and cloudy conditions towards east anglia. but 19 or 20 degrees in the sunshine — that is going to feel quite pleasant. looking through monday night and overnight into tuesday, high—pressure tries to build in. we also have this frontal system heading into the north—west of the uk. so i think on tuesday that will bring more cloud to northern ireland and western scotland, initially, with patchy rain on it. we still have a bit of cloud in the east and cool conditions around those north sea coasts, as well. but it should thin and break up, allowing a lot sunshine to many central and eastern areas before the cloud arrives. the warmest places are likely to be aberdeenshire down towards the south—east of england. in this zone, temperatures will reach around about 18—23 degrees or so. it will turn cooler from the north—west behind that weather front.
1:57 am
so the front continues its progression southwards and eastwards across the country through tuesday night and on into wednesday, now. and you'll see the blue colours returning to the map behind that front. so a different feel to the weather moving in through the middle of the week with the winds coming from a more northerly direction. a chilly day on wednesday for many, particularly on the coasts in areas like norfolk. a cool breeze coming in here. a bit more cloud across southern part of england and wales with that dying front. more sunshine further north. it is not doing great but this time of year, 12—16 degrees. probably the coolest day of the week on wednesday. and it will be cooler than that it will have been on tuesday. but it looks like it will dry out and warm up a touch as we look towards the end of the week. and it looks like high—pressure holds on as we head towards next weekend, too. bye bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. our top stories: the us prepares to open
