00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. So, there's colder weather

00:05on the way for most of us as we head through much of this week. It has still been quite

00:09a chilly few days across parts of Scotland. However, is this area of low pressure to the

00:13north-west of the UK sinking its way south and eastwards as we go through Monday and

00:17Tuesday that we do need to keep an eye on? On that boundary of the warm and the cold

00:20air with those weather fronts, we could perhaps see some disruptive snow as we head through

00:24Monday and Tuesday with some Met Office weather warnings in force. What we do know, though,

00:28is that pushes away towards the east as we go through the rest of Tuesday, leaving a

00:31cold northerly flow through much of the UK and towards the middle part of the week. Back

00:36to the rest of Sunday, though, a bit of a mixed picture across the UK. Some scattered

00:40showers further south, although these gradually clearing away towards the south-east during

00:44the early hours of Monday morning. For the northern half of the UK, generally a bit of

00:47a drier picture, plenty of clear spells around, although scattered showers still pushing in

00:52across the north-west, these turning to sleet and snow in places. Under those clear skies

00:56is likely to be quite a chilly start to the day on Monday across much of Scotland and

01:01Northern Ireland, perhaps minus three or minus four in places, and this could lead to some

01:05icy stretches, particularly on any untreated roads. So do take care during Monday morning's

01:10rush hour. Further south, where we do see a bit more cloud and rain, it'll be a little

01:15bit milder, although temperatures here still dropping down into the single figures. So

01:18for England and Wales, a bit of a milder start, but quite a cloudy and damp start. Some heavy

01:23and blustery showers across the south-west, pushing their way south and eastwards as we

01:28go through the morning. We then see this next area of rain associated with that area of

01:31low pressure moving in across parts of Northern Ireland. It will be falling as rain for most

01:36as low to lower levels, but we could see some sleet and snow falling over the hills as well.

01:41For Scotland, we do see those blustery showers continuing across the far north. Again, these

01:45turning to sleet and snow over the hills. But for southern and eastern parts of Scotland

01:49and into northern parts of England, generally a drier end to the day with some hazy sunshine.

01:55In the far south, underneath that cloud and to the south of that weather front, we are

01:58just holding on to that milder air for the last day. Temperatures here around average

02:02around 10 or 11 degrees. But further north, with those northerly winds, it will be feeling

02:06really quite chilly, with temperatures only around 2 or 3 degrees in some places. As we

02:12then go through Monday evening, that weather front across Northern Ireland pushes its way

02:15eastwards into parts of Northern England. And this is where we could see that disruptive

02:19snow as we start on Tuesday. Mostly, it will be falling as rain to lower levels, but we

02:24could perhaps see 20 centimetres of snow across the Pennines by the time we get to Tuesday

02:29morning and this perhaps falling to lower levels in places, though not quite those accumulations

02:34likely at lower levels. Further south, there will also be some blustery showers pushing

02:38in from the southwest, spreading their way eastwards. But for much of Scotland and Northern

02:42Ireland, it will be a bit of a drier start to the day on Tuesday, albeit quite a chilly

02:46start to again, quite a sharp frost forming here, perhaps leading to some icy stretches

02:51during Tuesday morning's rush hour and temperatures again dropping down below zero further north.

02:56Further south, it will be just that little bit milder again, around seven or eight degrees

03:00in places. So during Tuesday morning's rush hour, we do have that risk of some sleet and

03:05snow perhaps to lower levels for a time, and that could lead to some icy stretches as well.

03:09But it does quite quickly push its way eastwards as we go through Tuesday morning, perhaps

03:14some sleet and snow just lingering along some eastern coast as we go towards the afternoon.

03:18But for many of us, it will be a drier and brighter afternoon with plenty of sunny spells

03:22around, still some blustery showers and some sleet and snow showers across parts of Scotland.

03:27But with that northerly wind quite widely across the UK, it will be feeling much chillier

03:31for all of us, and particularly in the south where we've seen those milder temperatures

03:35of late. There'll be some blustery winds, particularly along eastern coast as well.

03:38So that will feel even colder here, but temperatures quite widely only in the low to mid-single

03:43figures for most of us.

03:45As we then go through towards the middle part of the week, that area of low pressure pushes

03:49away towards the east across the continent, and that leaves us with those northerly winds

03:53across much of the UK through Wednesday and into Thursday. So another chilly day to come

03:57and another chilly night as well. We do just need to keep an eye though on this next area

04:01of low pressure. Most model runs are keeping it towards the south of the UK, but there

04:05is just a hint that it could come a little bit further north, skirting the south coast

04:09of the UK, so perhaps bringing some further issues here. But something that we're keeping

04:12an eye on, and for the moment it does look like it's staying further south. But that

04:15northerly wind continues through the back end of the week, so generally staying cold

04:19for most of us, with some blustery showers and perhaps some more sleet and snow in places.

04:24So still quite a lot of uncertainty in the forecast as we go through the week. So do

04:28make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel and keep up to date with any warnings on our

04:32social media channels and our website as well.

04:35Bye for now!
