well, for days and days now we've had those persistent chilly easterly winds bringing at times very grey weather with some showers. a different story for the week ahead. the winds will switch direction, they will be coming off the atlantic bringing spells of very wet, very windy weather but much milder weather. monday on the other hand is still looking fairly bright but it will be cool. so this is what it looks like early hours of monday morning. still the winds blowing out of the east. you can just about make out the arrows there. the weather fronts are behind me, out in the atlantic, some hundreds if not a thousand miles away from us. ahead of that, the weather is quiet. a touch of frost in the countryside but in city centres it's around three or four degrees first thing on monday. the forecast suggests on monday that many eastern parts of the uk will be cloudy. there will be one or two showers affecting the north—east of england, maybe yorkshire too. but if you live in western areas of the uk, plenty of sunshine. western parts of wales, the lake district,

into western scotland, the weather is looking absolutely fine on monday. early on tuesday, we'll see the first weather fronts advancing. we will see winds freshening in south—western parts of the uk and then the rain reaches us. this is around early in the morning, reaching south—western england, wales, then eventually northern ireland, and by the middle of the afternoon, the thinknig is that rain will be across central parts of the uk. many eastern parts of the country will stay dry throughout tuesday after some mist and fog in the morning. wednesday, low pressure is well and truly in charge of our weather. you can see a big low there across the north atlantic stretching almost from iberia to iceland. we're right in the middle of this area of low pressure. look at these winds go. gale forced winds around many western coasts. severe gales in places so they're really strong, gusty winds. on top of that, we've got spells of heavy rain. these are the average wind speeds. to get a gust, usually double these, so that means maybe 40mph gusts inland, for example, in london. much stronger further north. look at the temperatures — 14 in london. double figures even in scotland.

the low pressure still with us on thursday. weather fronts spiralling in and towards the centre of the low pressure, bringing us again spells of heavy rain, and here is one spell of heavy rain during the middle of the afternoon. it would have been here in the morning and then sweeping during the day northwards. behind it you can see breaks in the cloud, breaks between the various bands of rain. still mild on thursday, relatively speaking, although it probably won't feel like it because of the strength of the wind. and guess what? there's low pressure over us on friday once again. a lot of isobars here and that can only mean one thing, gale force winds. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: mexico says it will deport about 500 migrants who forcefully attempted to cross the border into the united states. after 20 months of negotiation, european union leaders endorse the terms of a brexit deal. now, theresa may has to sell it back home.
