00:00Good morning, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It's been a bit

00:04of a chillier start for some of us this morning, particularly compared to what we saw over

00:08the weekend, thanks to northerly winds across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern

00:12parts of England. Plenty of showers around too to start the morning, these readily turning

00:16to sleet and snow over the hills of Scotland. A bit of a cloudier start across northern

00:20parts of England, some outbreaks of showery rain continue to sink their way southwards

00:24as we go towards the afternoon. But for northern parts of England through the afternoon, Northern

00:28Ireland, Wales, South West England, plenty of sunshine and blue skies on offer but with

00:32northerly winds feeling much chillier than we saw over the weekend. Only 9 or 10 degrees

00:37in the south and only 5 or 6 further north and along eastern coasts with that really

00:41brisk northerly wind, it'll be feeling much colder than that still. As we then go through

00:46Monday evening, we'll see those outbreaks of showery rain across the very far south

00:50east continue to sink their way offshore, leaving a drier night for most of us, plenty

00:54of clear spells around, perhaps one or two showers just pushing onshore along some eastern

00:58coast with that brisk wind. But for many of us, it will be a dry night to come and with

01:01those clear spells and with light winds, we could see some mist and fog in places. But

01:06it will be quite a chilly night too, quite a widespread frost across the UK, widely dropping

01:11below zero across the northern half of the UK and in the south, still dropping here to

01:14around 2 or 3 degrees. So a really chilly start to the day on Tuesday morning, perhaps

01:19some mist and fog in places that could be a little slow to clear but it will clear eventually.

01:23And in the west, turning increasingly cloudy as we go through the morning, we've got this

01:26area of rain pushing in, pushing its way eastwards as we go towards the afternoon. Likely falling

01:31as rain for the southern half of the UK but on that leading edge as it bumps into that

01:35colder air, we could see some sleet and snow over the hills through Tuesday afternoon.

01:40Still feeling quite chilly on Tuesday, temperatures widely in the mid to high single figures but

01:44in the southwest, perhaps just turning that little bit milder as we see that rain and

01:48cloud moving its way eastwards. As we then go through the rest of the week, that weatherfront

01:52pushes its way eastwards through the rest of Tuesday and into the start of Wednesday.

01:56We then see a very brief ridge of high pressure developing through Wednesday daytime before

02:01another area of low pressure and multiple areas of low pressure arrive from the west

02:05through the second half of the week, drawing up some milder air from the southwest and

02:08turning wet and windy and really quite unsettled through the second half of the week. To find
