look at brazil, what is at stake in the presidential race? it is a very important and economy. i will see you soon. hello. quite a chilly start for some of us on monday with the light winds and clearing skies overnight — very different to how the weather is going to be overall in the week ahead. in fact, we are expecting strong winds and spells of heavy rain. back to the here and now. briefly, high pressure on top of england and wales. that's led to the calm conditions and, in fact, at six o'clock in the morning on monday in some spots in the countryside, temperatures could be just a couple of degrees above freezing. compare that to, say, 10 degrees in western parts of scotland, where we have more of a breeze off the atlantic, and that's ahead of this weather front which will spread across northern ireland and scotland later in the day on monday but elsewhere, right from the word go and then through the afternoon, it is going to be a mostly bright day and quite a warm one, too — 19 in london, 17 in liverpool —
5:27 am
but where we have the thick cloud and the outbreaks of rain, it will be closer to 14 or 15. but you can see that this weather front doesn't make much progress southwards as we go through monday evening — in fact, most of that weather just sweeps towards the north and the east. come tuesday morning, some western and northern areas of england and wales will get some rain as this rain pulls away from scotland and northern ireland on tuesday. but with this weather front come south—westerly winds, quite warm winds, so look at the temperatures — 20 degrees in norwich and london, where it should stay bright. now, i want to focus also on tuesday night into wednesday. this weather front will spawn a separate area of low pressure — quite a nasty low pressure — which will sweep across the uk during the course of wednesday. a lot of isobars there, so some very strong winds and a very gusty weather front as it moves across the uk. gales notjust around coasts but inland, too — 50, maybe even 60 mph — and on top of that, there will be a lot of heavy rain. northern wales, the north west of england, south—western scotland, we could get up to 100mm of rain through tuesday and wednesday combined. and then thursday, that low pressure is in scandinavia but in its wake, we have
5:28 am
strong atlantic winds which will continue to push in showers. the showers will mostly affect scotland and northern ireland. in fact, the further south you are, the better the weather will be. and with those warm south—westerly winds — for example, in london most days — temperatures will be not far off 20 degrees. bye— bye.
