Good afternoon and welcome to Mondays Weather Watch taking a look at the weather for the islands, the UK and around the Globe.
On this Monday afternoon we are seeing some overcast conditions. With mist and fog patches. Some light rain and drizzle with some heavier rain out to our West which will bring some rain at times later. Some sunshine which is mainly hazy. Highest temperature so far of 14.9C Winds gusting 20 to 30 mph.
