Hello there, welcome to your Thursday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04
Stepping outside this morning, yet again it's bitterly cold.
00:08
Watch out for ice as well as snow showers.
00:10
Now these snow showers will be frequent across the north of Scotland, Shetland as well as Orkney.
00:15
And here we do have an amber warning with a further 20 centimetres of snow and drifting.
00:19
Abroad, snow and ice warning extends towards Northern Ireland, West Coast of Wales,
00:24
the West Country as well as the eastern side of England.
00:27
It's pretty much the distribution of the showers either side of the country,
00:30
running down the coastal districts in particular.
00:33
So through the morning, yes it is bitter outside.
00:37
Those snow showers will be frequent across the north with an icy wind.
00:40
And ice will be a feature of the weather as well, temperatures are that low.
00:44
For Northern Ireland, one or two showers running in.
00:46
No mix of rain and snow along the coast, but inland you'll see some snow showers.
00:49
And some across Irish sea coast, certainly Pembrokeshire seeing a few.
00:53
And you can see one or two just clipping the north coast of Devon as well as Cornwall.
00:58
Towards the east there, along the North Sea coastline,
01:01
you will continue to see those wintry showers which will run down towards Norfolk through the day.
01:07
So there are weather warnings in force, but wherever you are, it's very cold outside.
01:12
At least though, with a light wind from the central belt of Scotland down the spine of the country.
01:17
Not feeling too bad, if you wrap up warm you'll see some good spells of sunshine.
01:22
Always more clouds associated with these snow showers and a bit of a breeze along this east side.
01:27
North coast of Northern Ireland, west coast of Wales.
01:30
And certainly that relentless wind just delivering further snow showers through the day.
01:35
Across Northern Scotland, pushing in across the Highlands as well as Aberdeenshire.
01:40
Here are your temperatures, no surprise, temperatures struggling today.
01:43
And where you see the snow, they're going to be sub-zero.
01:46
Through Thursday night, tonight and into tomorrow, it's pretty much a repeat performance.
01:51
A subtle change in wind direction will deliver more showers to Scotland on Friday.
01:56
And as you can see through the early hours,
01:58
they are gathering a mix of rain and snow along the coastline.
02:01
In land though, you'll see some snow.
02:03
There's a snow warning in force for more snow cover as we head through the day on Friday.
02:08
Sub-zero temperatures, as you can see, a penetrating frost yet again.
02:12
Clearer skies towards the south to start the last of the working days this week.
02:17
Yes, it's a clear day, it's a cold one, but with some sunshine.
02:21
Now, across Scotland, you'll see a mix of those wintry showers, snow over the higher ground.
02:25
There'll be frequent, a stronger wind here.
02:27
Some brighter skies for Northern Ireland, rather hazy sunshine,
02:31
but brighter weather extends from North Wales down towards East Anglia as well as the southeast.
02:36
And here, temperatures are notched up on the last few days, four or five degrees Celsius.
02:40
The air turns relatively mild on Saturday.
02:44
We'll see some showery bursts of rain extend across the country.
02:47
And then it's really Sunday where we watch as a deep area of low pressure
02:50
extends from the Atlantic, pushing across the country.
02:54
Here's your wind warning on Sunday.
02:56
Damaging winds, gusts along the coast could reach 17 miles an hour inland, 50 to 60 miles an hour.
03:02
And it will be windy even towards more southern and eastern areas.
03:05
I'll see you later.
