BBCi UK Forecast
Tomorrow, further showers... but still, the wet-weather gear. It almost looks like a bit of a sprawling octopus.

Tim Willcox: Right, some weather news here and it doesn't look too good for the start of the week, Dan.

Dan: No, it certainly doesn't, Tim. It's the same old area of low pressure. You think of it like you're driving on the beach with the car and you get the wheels stuck in the mud ['spinning wheels' gesture], that's what it's like, the low still spinning about.

And Southampton, a wet start here. We'll all be quite used to our raincoats by the time we finish the day.

A belter:
More showers spin around that main broad low, almost like a washing machine with lumps of washing just spinning about.

Notice how the rain starts to spin around, just sort of starts to just sort of spin, almost like looking at the top of a washing machine, seeing lumps of washing spinning around.
FYI - most washing machines in the States are top-loading.

Still a good old breeze through the day, almost like a bit of a blue octopus, all the tentacles [waves arms madly] or sort of bands of rain through the day.

Watch out on Tuesday. We get rid of this thing, what's left of it, off it goes and then bmmm, a big mass of rain, like I've taken a lump of blue paint [gestures holding lump of blue paint] and gone fmmm [throws 'lump' at map], like that.

Hello there. That trip back to work on Monday, you know what it's going to be; the umbrella in the bag [was that a 'putting umbrella in bag' gesture?], the raincoat.
