00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. So, a change is on the

00:04way for many of us, with some colder conditions expected as we go in towards the new working

00:09week. Before we get there, we have still got a weather front across much of England and

00:12Wales, sinking its way southwards, so southern half of the UK just holding on to some of

00:16that milder air for a time. But further north, with those northerly winds, likely to see

00:20a much colder feel to the start of the new working week. We have got an area of low pressure

00:24just waiting in the wings, bringing some uncertainty as we head through the rest of Sunday and

00:28into start of the Monday, but back to what we have got out there at the moment. And for

00:32much of England and Wales, it will be a cloudy end to the day on Saturday. Outbreaks of

00:36rain slowly pushing their way southwards as we go through the afternoon. But further north,

00:40a bit of a different story. There will be some sunny spells, but also plenty of blustery

00:44showers, particularly across northern and western parts of Scotland, and those showers

00:48could turn to sleet and snow over any high ground as well. With that brisk northerly

00:52wind, it will be feeling quite a chilly day on Saturday for much of Scotland and northern

00:57England, temperatures not reaching much above 7, 8, perhaps 9 degrees at best. But further

01:02south, those temperatures are a little closer to average, so around 12 or 13 degrees. That

01:07weather front across much of England and Wales continues to slowly push its way southwards

01:11overnight Saturday and into the start of Sunday. And for the northern half of the UK, those

01:15clear spells remaining, but those blustery showers still pushing in from the northwest,

01:19mostly affecting coastal regions across parts of western Scotland, northern England, further

01:24east generally staying a little bit drier with some clear spells. And further south,

01:27as that weather front clears away, we'll see some clear spells across southern parts

01:30of England and Wales as well. Quite a widely chilly night across much of the UK, temperatures

01:35widely in the single figures, and for parts of eastern Scotland and northern England,

01:39quite a widespread frost with those temperatures dropping below zero. So, a widely chilly

01:43start to the day for many of us on Sunday. It'll be a bit of a cloudy start to the day

01:47for parts of northern Ireland, seeing some outbreaks of showery rain pushing in from

01:51the northwest, spreading across to parts of north Wales, the Midlands, northern parts

01:55of England as we head towards Sunday afternoon. Southern parts of England, though, perhaps

01:59holding on to a bit more in the way of sunshine. We'll see some sunny spells through the afternoon

02:03and across northern parts of England and much of Scotland, there will be some sunny spells

02:06between those showers. But those showers will continue to be quite blustery, particularly

02:10across the north and the west. And again, falling as sleet and snow over any high ground.

02:16Still another chilly feel to the day across the northern half of the UK. Those temperatures

02:19still around four or five degrees and probably feeling a little chillier with that brisk

02:23northerly wind. But further south, still just holding on to that milder air, so temperatures

02:28here still around 11 or 12 degrees. Through the rest of Sunday evening, those outbreaks

02:33of showery rain continue to push their way south and eastwards, perhaps turning heavy

02:37over any high ground. And the sleet and snow showers continue to build up over the hills

02:41of Scotland. We could see five to 10 centimetres of snow here. Further south, just holding

02:46on to those clearer spells for a time, those outbreaks of rain continue to push their way

02:50south and eastwards. And then waiting in the wings, we've got this next weather front

02:54moving in. As I mentioned, still bringing us some headaches as there's still a bit of

02:57uncertainty on the exact position of it, depending how far north it is. And that boundary of

03:01that colder air will depend on where we see some sleet and snow through into the start

03:05of the new working week. What we do know is that it will push its way eastwards as we

03:10go through Monday and Tuesday, eventually clearing its way towards the southeast through

03:14Tuesday afternoon. And that'll bring those northerly winds across much of the UK. So

03:18it will be turning colder as we head towards the middle part of the week. But to keep up

03:21to date with that, do make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel and keep up to date
