first, the weather with darren bett. hello.orm bronagh swept away and following that we had a cold blustery wind on friday with some showers and plenty of rainbows. this weekend it is going to be wettest across southern parts of the uk at cool for all of us. we have seen bronagh heading up towards scandinavia, battering here with gales and severe gales, the cool showery airflow being replaced by this cloud coming in from the atlantic. quickly that cloud is coming into england and wales and northern ireland. thickest cloud in the south—west. outbreaks of rain here in the south—west into wales, perhaps into the south midlands and later into the south—east of england as well. sunny spells and a few showers for scotland, but not very warm anywhere, really. 13—14 degrees at best. under that rain in the south—west, is going to be a miserable day, could get more rain through the midlands, east anglia during the evening before it fades away. and then more rain returns from the atlantic and this time it moves further north. still cold a

here's darren bett. have we seen the back of the storm now?damage and destruction in northern ireland and also scotland but the winds have dropped, nowhere near as strong as they were earlier. still pretty gusty out there, mind you, pretty much across the board as well. but nowhere near as windy as it was earlier today. things will calm down overnight, a few showers going towards the north—west, and in the south, the rain really getting its act together, turning steadier and heavier, pushing back northwards into wales, through the midlands and lincolnshire. south of that, warm again overnight but to the north, a different story, quite a bit cooler than of late. still quite windy berthing in the morning with showers in northern scotland but otherwise much like to win for scotland and northern ireland, some sunshine for a while. it will cloud over and we may eventually get some rain because this lot is developing more widely across england and wales, heavy rain in north wales and northern england, the southeast and east anglia may miss most of t

here's darren bett. what have you got for us?e uk. lots of blue skies across england and wales today, lots of sunshine but a different story for a good pa rt but a different story for a good part of scotland and northern ireland where we have had grey skies and rain and drizzle and some of the cloud is pushing towards north wales and northern england and there will be part of rain and drizzle over night but that will be mostly across northern and western scotland, but quite windy. very mild across the northern half of the uk in contrast with areas further south, the midlands, southern england having a clear night. a bit chilly but not as cold as it was last night. across the north, my older and underneath the north, my older and underneath the cloud there will be outbreaks of rain. we have a weather front stuck across northern scotland, but to the south of that in the warm air pressure will be high and so it will be drier as well. still breezy across the north of the uk to early spots of rain in northern england brightening up in

now it's time for the weather with darren bett. hello.k. some way away but this is what we've got at the moment, atla ntic what we've got at the moment, atlantic winds coming our way. the weather front abroad cloud and rain in the south on wednesday is out of the way. another weather system arising from the north—west. this is weakening all the while. it'll stop across the north of england, southern scotland and northern ireland. some light and patchy rain and rizal that might start to work northwards. sunny spells across the north—east of scotland, wales, the midlands, southern england likely to be dry with a sunny day on thursday and with the sunshine around it will feel warmer than wednesday. so the weather front brings the rain and drizzle. it only get so far across and any moves away. then another one in from the atlantic. this is a little more active. it means it is wetter. we have a more widely to start the day across scotland, northern ireland and northern england as things move further south and then we will have rain arriving in

the weather now with darren bett. hello, good morning.isingly, the highest temperature was on the south coast, here in hampshire. still 19 degrees, pretty good. over the weekend, we've got high pressure close enough by, so while there will be some showers around, for the most part dry with sunshine at times. it will probably turn cooler as the weekend goes on. pretty cold at the moment, though, underneath that area of high pressure would be clearer skies. we've got more atlantic winds across the northern half of the uk and a weak weather front as well. that's where the we have this band of cloud and patchy rain. ahead of it, maybe one or two showers for scotland and northern ireland. more cloud and quite a strong westerly wind, too. england and wales, the winds are lighter as you head further south. there will be a lot of sunshine. highs of about 18 degrees and it should feel quite pleasant as well. not quite as warm for scotland and northern ireland. we will see the rain coming in to scotland in the evening, perhaps into northern ireland

here's darren bett. storm ali caused terrible disruption and one death in ireland.s was taken in county down and it was here we have recorded the strongest gust ever in september in northern ireland, of 91 mph. there have also been gusts of 70 mph and the winds have been picking up in dumfries and galloway and argyll and we are getting pictures of some fallen trees and the damage the winds have been causing. we still have an amber warning from the met office is valid until 6pm. these are the areas where we expect to get gusts inland. and it is all down to storm ali. that is the scent of the storm which is moving away from northern ireland so the winds are easing a bit —— at the centre of the storm, and pushing into scotland.

now it's time for the weather with darren bett. hello there. air as well. will take a look at the in the moment. what we are seeing right now through the rest of this week is more typical atlantic. we have a weather front on the scene for wednesday, moving southwards, the rain is becoming drawn out, thinner and the rain quite like patches to be moving to southern parts of england and a lingering in the channel islands of. behind that we get more sunshine but a scattering of showers across scotland, one or two showers for northern ireland and north—west england. for the northern half of the uk, temperatures similar to tuesday, despite more sunshine it will be a bit cooler. we have got the cooler air coming in behind that band of cloud, very light rain on a weather front there and another weather front there and another weather system is moving in from the north—west, that will bring rain overnight to scotland and northern ireland, as that ms southwards, so it tends to beat out. getting stuck across northern england and northern ireland, some lig

earlier i spoke to our weather presenter darren bett, who told me that this typhoon is larger and strongerorence. the eye is making landfall in the north of the philippines, northern parts, now the sustained winds are around 125 miles an hour, gus in excess of that. we are expecting as much as half a metre rain. it is moving into very mountainous terrain, there's likely to be some flash flooding and landslides as well, and there could be a storm surge something like tics metres. as it moves over northern parts, it will lose some energy so the wind will lose some energy so the wind will weaken to a certain extent. in across northern parts as well, in less tha n across northern parts as well, in less than 12 hours. so not only is his typhoon and large, moving quicker than florence. so it loses some energy and tracks. that's tricky, where does it go after, and it's changing slightly. we picked it up it's changing slightly. we picked it up here, this is at their local timeout in the south china sea now, and the forecast takes a closer to hong kong. on a sunday, not making direct hit on hong ko

here's darren bett.s is what we have got to look forward to over the next couple of days, some very windy conditions, heavy rain and travel disruption and some damage is quite likelyjust the storm is set to arrive tomorrow. right now the winds are easing down a little bit. we have got some showers pushing eastwards at the moment, there will be some clear spells later in the night although the winds will pick up and there will be rain arriving in northern ireland, the arrival of the storm. this is the deepening area of low pressure, this is the storm, it's going to drive across northern ireland, into scotland and pick up those winds as well during the morning. this is where we are expecting the peak of the winds to be, this is where we have the number wind warning from the net office. with those kind of numbers there is likely to be some damage and disruption. south to south—westerly winds across—the—board. here is the rain which comes with wind in the morning across northern ireland, rushing into scotlan

here's darren betts a late return of the somme!his is the calm before the storm, because this area of cloud here is storm helene. this is drawing up warm tropical airfrom the south, hence the high temperatures. we're looking at some cloud and rain coming in on helene, rain also for northern ireland in the north—west of scotland. it is going to be a warm night, just as it was last night. but these are where we expected the strongest of the winds to be as we head overnighted into tomorrow, the higher gusts more likely over coasted hills in the west. this rain in wales doesn't last long. it doesn't even last long across much of northern england in the morning. it lingers longer in scotland, cloud breaking up, some showers coming in from the west, but remember we are drawing in warm air in these strong and gusty winds, particularly across england and wales, so the temperatures could hit 25 in the south—east and east anglia again, 17, 18, 19 for scotland and northern ireland. windy again tomorrow but nothing extreme. the worst of it cou

here's darren bett. full disclosure today! there is a different look compared to the last few weeks. most places enjoy blue skies and sunshine, no storms in sight this week but high pressure will be shaping the weather. that is taking over things today but we will start to see these fronts coming around the top of that high pressure in the next few days and that will impact scotland and northern ireland and winds will pick up and the cloud will increase with some patchy rain. ingrid and wales still bright and sunny for the most part and a bit warmer “— sunny for the most part and a bit warmer —— england and wales. a cold start this morning, some more cloud in northern ireland and north—west england and northern and western scotla nd england and northern and western scotland with some light showers but most of those will continue through the after nine but away from that, a lot of dry weather and some fairweather clubbed generally sunny in the south—east, temperatures are a bit higher than yesterday, around 16 or 17 degrees but
