specialists and clearance on the ground, that is the biggest threat should there be a limited number of oil being spilt onto the coast on the beaches, and clearing the minds before we can allow civilians to go near oil spot. by, before we can allow civilians to go near oil spot-— near oil spot. a very delicate operation- — hello there. it�*s been another day with some blustery showers, but also some sunny spells around at times, too. it is set to stay very unsettled as we head through the rest of the week and it�*s been a very wetjuly so far. in fact, some spots, particularly towards the north and the west and also across central southern england, have seen around one and a half times the averagejuly rainfall so far. we�*re only halfway through the month. of course, a lot of months to come and a lot more rainfall, too,

particularly over the next few days or so. this is the rainfall accumulation chart. as you can see, around 30 to 50 millimetres more expected as we head through the next few days, especially out towards the west. now, this is our low pressure system from this weekend. it�*s pulling out towards scandinavia. so the winds will tend to lighten further as we head through the overnight period and into tomorrow. still a brisk north—westerly, though, for much of scotland. some longer spells of rain, plenty of cloud here throughout the night. further south, across much of england, wales, northern ireland will see some long, clear spells and temperatures will drop lower than they did last night. it�*s a cooler start to monday morning than we saw earlier on this morning, maybe high single figures where we keep those long, clear spells and then into monday, still plenty of cloud across much of scotland. we could see some more showers here develop as we head throughout the day. sunny spells and scattered showers elsewhere. we�*ve still got a key north westerly across northwest scotland, but elsewhere the winds will fall lighter. watch out for a rumble or two of thunder, particularly later on through the day across the midlands and into parts of lincolnshire, towards the south—east of england.

we could stay dry for much of the day. temperatures will be highest here 22, maybe 23 degrees celsius. now, looking at the wider picture on monday into tuesday, there is another occlusion approaching from the west that is likely to bring us some outbreaks of rain, some of which will turn out to be rather heavy at times across northern ireland. moving into north west england throughout the day, south—west england will see this heavy rain turn into showers behind the main weather front. but towards the south—east of england, i think it could stay dry again for much of the day. temperatures here 24 degrees celsius elsewhere underneath the rain in the high teens and the winds are a lot lighter. now, here�*s the outlook as we head through the rest of the week. wednesday, looking largely dry for many a few showers around. it won�*t feel too bad in the best of the sunshine. it will be turning cooler, though, on thursday with the north—westerly winds.
