monday at the world snooker championship. you can keep across that and all the day's other sports news on the bbc sport website or your bbc sport app. for now, that's all. hello. so far, this bank holiday weekend has been a decidedly mixed affair. some spells of warm sunshine, but also some really heavy downpours. we saw some flash flooding in parts of eastern scotland during sunday. you can see the showers and thunderstorms that erupted here through the day. quite slow moving, actually, not much wind to push these showers and storms along. one or two locations had close to half a month's worth of rain in the space ofjust a few hours. we are currently in the grip of this fairly weak and fairly flabby area of low pressure. so not much winds with that low to push the showers around where they do crop up again on bank holiday monday,
1:56 am
they will be heavy, quite slow moving, but with some spells of sunshine in between. this is how we start the day. the southern half of the uk seeing some areas of mist and fog, some sunny spells developing, but some rain across the south east of england and east anglia. northern ireland and scotland keeping quite a lot of clouds still with some hefty showers across some central and eastern parts of scotland. by the middle of the afternoon, parts of east anglia and the southeast seeing outbreaks of rain, elsewhere through the south west of england into wales, the midlands and northern england. that mix of sunny spells and heavy, possibly thundery showers. those showers quite slow moving, but the sunniest spot seeing highs of 19 or 20 degrees. more cloud for northern ireland, but largely dry. still some hefty showers across southern and eastern scotland. further north and west, something drier and in places a little bit brighter. now, as we head through monday night, the showers should slowly but surely fade away in most locations. we'll keep some fairly large amounts of cloud, perhaps some mist patches here and there. temperatures generally holding up between six and ten degrees. now, more showers in the forecast for tuesday,
1:57 am
but they shouldn't be as widespread and on the whole, they shouldn't be quite as heavy. so mainly fine to start off, some fairly large amounts of cloud, spells of sunshine, some of those showers getting going through the day, particularly across parts of england and wales. but in the sunny spots, those temperatures again up to around 20 degrees celsius. that is a sign of things to come because as we head deeper into the week, high pressure builds a little more strongly. we'll still see frontal systems to the north of the uk. so a bit of rain at times, particularly across parts of scotland. but further south it stays mostly dry. some spells of sunshine, temperatures climbing, seeing highs of around 21 to 22, maybe 23 degrees.
