and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. good morning. some of us had some sunshine this weekend but others a weekend of relentless rain. in fact, it brought localised flooding. in greater manchester, rochdale, we had over 90 millimetres throughout the weekend. the rain was fairly relentless. a conveyor belt of wet weather that moved its way up through the south—east. you can see that quite clearly. some heavier bursts as well at times although it is starting to weaken as we speak. the story remains the same. this front is going to be with us throughout the day today. there it is on the satellite picture. we see some shower cloud up to the far north—east of scotland and that could bring some heavy, thundery downpours as well over the next few hours. plenty to talk about with monday's weather, starting off pretty
1:56 am
murky across scotland. low cloud, mist, still some showers lingering and our weather front sitting there through northern ireland and southern scotland. a week affair, moving its way steadily north to a band of showers. behind it, where we had heavy rain, a better day through north—west england and parts of the midlands, highs of 26. but down on the south—west, an area of low pressure which will bring through the isles of scilly and cornwall, some rain by the end of monday. this low pressure will continue to bring wet and windy weather across the country through tuesday. heavy, sharp, thundery downpours not out of the question on tuesday and gusts of winds, particularly down into the south—west on exposed coasts, of 45 and possibly 50 mph. brighter weather, so parts of aberdeenshire, running down across that east coast. that's where we will see the highest values of around 21 to 24 degrees. as we move out of tuesday, we're still going to see that low pressure, a significant player in the weather story, continuing to drift steadily east, it will take showers with it as well.
1:57 am
so on wednesday, it looks likely that the emphasis of the showers will be across southern scotland, through the north of england and eastern england as well. so it's a drier story further south and west and not too bad a day not too bad a day into northern ireland and maybe the far north—east of scotland again escaping with some decent weather. highest values of 18 to 22 degrees, just below where we should be, really, for the time of year. but as we move out of wednesday, high pressure will start to build, so thursday and friday quietens down and just warms up a little. so by the end of the working week, a drier theme but we certainly have changed the feel to our weather. fresher with some sunshine and showers and at times, some gusty winds.
