on a live stream, caught on camera by a remote operated vehicle. hello there. apart from some rain across the north and the west of the uk, today potentially could be one of the better days of this week as things are set to turn very windy with gales and heavy rain, particularly around the middle part of the week. but this afternoon looks largely fine and dry. for most of us, that is a way from the north west of the uk, where here rain will continue to affect the north and west of scotland. a few showery bursts as well, further south and west across western england and western wales. but a good deal of sunshine around, particularly towards southern and eastern parts of the country which will stay dry all day and will feel quite warm as well. in the brisk south—westerly wind, up to 23 degrees in the southeast, generally the high teens further north and west. as we head through tonight, it'll be dry for most areas. the winds pick up a little bit across the north and the west. we start to see some rain eventually
2:57 pm
pushing into northern ireland as a weather front approaches. i don't think anywhere is going to be particularly cold tonight. lowest values around 7 to 9 degrees across northeast england and eastern scotland. a couple of weather fronts, though, invade as we move through tuesday. so although we start dry and bright through central and eastern areas, we'll start to see some rain pushing across england. well, some of this could be thundery nature and longer spells of rain also affecting northern ireland, western scotland with that other weather front. so a bit of a mixed day on tuesday. but again, not too bad in the sunshine across the southeast, again, could be up to 23 celsius, high teens further north. by wednesday, though, we could see a stormy spell of weather. storm agnes, named by the met office, could bring some disruption maybe towards northern and western parts of the uk. here it is on the pressure charts, gathering speed, deepening rapidly as it approaches ireland. but as the storm approaches our shores, it will start to weaken, but still pack quite a punch with some gale force winds 60 to 70 miles an hour around the irish sea coast may be in excess, up to 80 miles an hour. and also very windy conditions across northern
2:58 pm
and eastern scotland. and with the strong winds throughout wednesday, heavy rain will pile up the western side of the country across northern ireland, up in towards scotland because see some localised flooding in fact across the east and south east of england. i think you will escape the worst of it. we're seeing some sunshine, one or two showers, but it will be quite blustery wherever you are. and then signs as we end the week and push into the weekend high pressure could build in, bring us increasing amounts of drier and sunnier weather. take care.
