a lot of the showers. it will be windy for a good part of the day down the north sea coast and will feel cold with those morning showers in particular. a few showers out west filtering into the irish sea and south wales, but lots of the showers fading away in the afternoon and many places will be dry and quite sunny. it will be windy, but gradually they winds will ease a bit. probably feeling colder than it did on sunday. with the wind continuing to ease in the evening, there may be a touch of frost in the eastern side of the uk before the winds pick up again overnight, dragging on some mild air, and these weather fronts are on the way. tuesday, we have clouded outbreaks of rain. quite a few bands of rain pushing their way east. it‘s the last one that will see the heaviest of the rain, and some particularly squally winds as well. it will be a windy day everywhere, it‘s going to be mild, temperatures in double figures. that mild, wet and windy weather than get swept towards the south—east. out of the way by wednesday. we are all into chillier air, low pressure to the north—west of the uk, maybe gales in the north—west of scotland.

0therwise wednesday will not be as windy. a day of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy, with hail and thunder. over the northern hills there could be a bit of snow as well. quite a chilly day, those temperatures are typically only six or seven degrees. a bit more uncertainty later in the week. they could be a bit of low pressure bringing strong winds, likely to bring some rain, especially on thursday. snow over the hills in scotland, then it 00:12:29,665 --> 2147483051:42:59,548 gradually becomes drier on friday, 2147483051:42:59,548 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 but probably still rather windy.
