1:55 am
hello again. well, we've seen plenty of showers around over the course of the weekend. and showers again are the name of the game as we look at the forecast for monday too. clouds like these will be bringing those showers in, we've seen plenty of those recently as well. the radar picture shows the most extensive showers across northern and western areas of the uk, there could be a few though over the next few hours running through the english channel, and perhaps sneaking onto the coastline of southern england as well. but it's across eastern areas of england, part of the midlands that will have the longest of the clear spells over the next few hours. but if you are heading out, it's worth taking an umbrella with you today for sure. it's going to be quite a breezy start to the day, but not cold. temperatures 10—13 degrees or something like that. and for monday we have the same area of low pressure firmly in charge that we had with us through the weekend, the only difference is it's moving over towards norway, allowing the winds to switch to a more north—north—westerly direction across parts of the country. showers from the word go, really.
1:56 am
the heaviest, northern ireland, scotland under north—west of england. much greater chance of seeing downpours in the south as well. the winds are coming down from polar regions, whereas across england and wales, they're coming from the mid—atla ntic. there is a north—south difference in temperatures, just 16 degrees in edinburgh whereas we should see temperatures in the low 20s still across eastern counties of england. tuesday's weather, we've got a ridge of high pressure here for a time ahead of this warm front that was spread ultimately thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain into western parts. so rain gets going into northern ireland, parts of western scotland, western england and wales as the day goes by and you will see some of the cloud become quite low for some of the hills. it is probably a better kind of day in those eastern parts of the country.
1:57 am
changes for wednesday — a cold front swings in across the west part of the country, so some real contrast in the weather for wednesday. wet and windy weather for northern ireland, the rain getting into western scotland could see a few spots running ahead into north—west england and north wales, but by and large eastern parts of the country dry and it will turn cloudier with those temperatures coming up a little. highs of 18 degrees in edinburgh on wednesday, up to 23 degrees in london. once we've got wednesday out of the way, the weather should become dry for a few days and it should get warmer as well. in london, as we head into the weekend, temperatures could reach 27 by saturday.
