00:00Last week's weather was dominated by high pressure and gloomy skies.

00:04This week's weather is still dominated by high pressure and so a lot of dry weather around.

00:10But this week's high is what us meteorologists like to call a cleaner high.

00:15It's not so cloudy.

00:17Under this area of high pressure, a much better chance of seeing some brighter skies,

00:21certainly for the first half of the week.

00:23But of course, clearer skies at night at this time of year lead to frosts and fog.

00:28And certainly close to the middle of the high, Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland,

00:31Northern England, North Wales, likely to see some fog patches to start Tuesday.

00:35And temperatures will be close to, if not a little below, freezing.

00:40There's also a bit of a breeze strengthening around the high across parts of East Anglia and Kent.

00:45And that will just generate a few showers feeding in from the North Sea.

00:49Parts of Essex and Kent in particular seeing those showers.

00:51Maybe one or two for Suffolk and perhaps even into the London area at times through the afternoon.

00:57But for most places, it's a dry day. Many places fine with lots of sunshine.

01:02Quite a bit of cloud at times over central and eastern England.

01:05And that fog could stick around in one or two places.

01:09If it does, temperatures are really going to struggle across parts of Northern Ireland,

01:13Southern Scotland. But where we see some sunshine, we should get to double figures.

01:16Temperatures about pretty close to the average for the time of year.

01:19Feeling a little cooler, though, with that brisk breeze across the southeast.

01:24As we go through Tuesday night and into Wednesday, the high is still very much in control.

01:29But a weather front is just toppling in around the north.

01:32The ice bars opening up a little across the southeast,

01:35but still will be a noticeable breeze along some southern counties.

01:40A bit more cloud at times here as well, but generally a drier day for that southeastern corner.

01:45Again, Northern Ireland, Southern Scotland, Northern England may wake up to fog and frost along with parts of Wales.

01:51But it should clear as cloud increases as that weather front pushes in.

01:55That'll bring some patchy rain initially to Northern Scotland,

01:57pushing south down towards the Glasgow area by the end of the day.

02:01But again, for most places, it's dry.

02:03A good part of England and Wales seeing lengthy spells of sunshine during Wednesday and temperatures close to the average.

02:11The high pressure just showing signs of slinking away a little to the west by the time we get through Wednesday night and Thursday.

02:17That weather front pushing south is fizzling out,

02:19but it'll still represent a zone of cloudier weather with maybe a little drizzle on it as it trickles across England and Wales.

02:26So a duller day for the Midlands, Wales for sure on Thursday compared to Wednesday.

02:31Perhaps turning a bit brighter come the middle part of the morning into the afternoon over southern Scotland and northern England.

02:37We'll keep a lot of cloud across the far northwest, some light rain and drizzle likely here.

02:41But for many, again, it'll be a dry day with some brightness and light winds.

02:45Not feeling too bad at all as we see those temperatures maybe creeping into the teens.

02:50But for most places, 10 or 11 will be the top temperature.

02:54Now, by the time we get to Friday, we've still got high pressure well and truly in control.

03:00But just to the north, signs of things change and the ice bar squeezing together again.

03:04And this weather front is going to mix things up as we head towards the weekend for sure.

03:09Still, for most places, that high pressure will bring a dry day, again, quite a bit of cloud around.

03:14But we should see perhaps something a bit brighter compared to Thursday across parts of Wales, the Midlands and southern England.

03:20Here comes that weather front, a zone of wet and quite windy weather for a time.

03:25Could get quite lively, the gusts late in the day across northern parts of Scotland.

03:30Ahead of it, temperatures again 10, 11, maybe 12 Celsius with a little bit of sunshine.

03:34But that weather front is really going to mix things up as it slips further south during Friday night and into Saturday.

03:41It opens the door to the winds washing down from the north.

03:46That's going to bring cold air, of course.

03:48So if we rewind the clock and put the temperature profile on, you can see relatively mild air across the UK to start with on Friday.

03:55But as we go through Friday and that cold front pushes its way southwards,

04:01the colder air slips south as we go into Saturday and noticeably cold winds coming in as well, particularly over the Northern Isles.

04:09How cold will it be? Well, certainly this time of year, it's not unusual to see snow on the Scottish hills and in the showers.

04:16I think we will see that colder for all snow on Scottish hills for sure through the second half of the weekend.

04:23Any lower levels? Well, it's looking unlikely at this stage, but things could get interesting, particularly heading to next week.

04:31So as we go through this week, do keep up to date with the latest forecasts.

04:36There'll be more on that in the Met Office deep dive.

04:39And of course, the 10 day trend and the best way to stay up to date.
