Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Thursday morning which is
00:03
cold outside. There's showers lurking out there as well. Now the reason why we have
00:08
both is because the position of the wind. It's coming in from the Arctic dragging
00:12
in very cold air and then flowing over a relatively warm sea. The air becomes
00:18
unstable and that's the reason why we do have showers which will develop inland
00:22
through the next 12 hours. However notice towards the West high pressure casting
00:27
and influence across the country through Thursday into Friday will lose
00:30
the strength of the wind and the distribution the showers will change. For
00:34
the time being though if you are stepping out it's cold outside. You can see that
00:37
wind streaming down delivering those showers. Northern Ireland, central and
00:41
northern areas of Scotland, the North Channel, Irish seacoast even pushing
00:44
inland across Wales as well as the West country. Now towards the east one or two
00:49
showers clipping the east coast here and that cold biting wind. However inland
00:54
it's a bright start to the day a fairly quiet one but it is chilly. We've even
00:58
seen a touch of grass frost in the south and a touch of air frost in the north
01:02
across one or two glens of Scotland. Now through this morning you can see the
01:07
wind is still got some strength to it particularly across the north coast the
01:12
northeast coast of Scotland running down the North Sea. Now these showers will
01:16
develop inland and again we could see one or two heavy ones. We saw hail thunder
01:22
and lightning yesterday and that still could be the case today but they're a
01:26
little bit more scattered even so they could cluster together through morning
01:30
into the afternoon just running down from the north. Now inland where we see
01:35
some brighter weather temperatures could reach around 14 or 16 across England and
01:39
Wales but still struggling and exposed to the wind it's going to feel cold 10 or
01:43
even 11 degrees Celsius. So that's this afternoon into evening time. Temperatures
01:49
falling away even more so through Thursday evening and overnight. Now we'll
01:54
see some starry skies any showers again tending to fade away particularly inland
01:59
and notice across the far north of Scotland the wind direction does change
02:03
and we lose the sting in the wind but temperatures really taking a tumble
02:07
through the early hours of Friday morning. So expect a frost in the north
02:11
particularly in the countryside and even some isolated frost further south in the
02:15
towns and cities. Temperatures dipping as low as around two or three degrees
02:19
Celsius. So it is a cold start to the day so wrap up warm if you're heading out
02:24
and about at least though it's a quiet morning with some sunshine. Still a few
02:29
showers around across the far north one or two just about clipping the East
02:33
Anglia coast down towards the southeast but mostly dry here and then thickening
02:37
cloud brings outbreaks of rain towards Northern Ireland as we head through the
02:41
afternoon. Now temperatures will be up a notch 13 to 17 degrees Celsius and
02:46
warmer still on Saturday. There'll be more on the way of cloud around and by
02:50
this point cloud and rain will have arrived across more northern and western
02:54
areas pushing ever southwards and that means showers in the north on Sunday
02:58
rain straddling the central part of the country and some sunshine in the south.
03:01
Have a lovely day. I'll see you again soon.
