00:00Hello, after a very wet and windy weekend, things will be settling down as higher pressure

00:06builds. But before then, we still do have a squeeze in the isobars indicating some strong

00:12and gusty winds, especially across the south of the UK. Higher pressure building across

00:17the north, but we do have some frontal systems just moving through, bringing some cloud and

00:23rain to Orkney and Shetland. But back to the rest of this evening and overnight, and we

00:29still hold on to some strong north-easterly winds, bringing in a lot of cloud and rain

00:34across much of England and Wales. Showers could be quite heavy at times across the far

00:38south-east. But across Northern Ireland and Scotland, underneath the area of high pressure,

00:45that's where we'll see the clearest skies, temperatures quickly falling away to give

00:49a touch of frost to start Monday morning, and perhaps even some pockets of mist and

00:55fog. So it's going to be a cold night here, but underneath the cloud and rain, and still

01:00with the brisk winds, temperatures generally holding up at around five or six degrees.

01:07So as we start Monday morning then, a cold but bright start across Scotland and Northern

01:12Ireland, with plenty of winter sunshine throughout much of the day. Cloudier across much of England

01:18and Wales, but there will be some breaks in the cloud, especially further towards the

01:22west first thing. But the cloud will be thick enough for some patchy rain and drizzle, and

01:27with some heavy showers just coming in to the south-east of England as we head into

01:32the afternoon. The winds will be a notch down compared to what we saw over the weekend.

01:37Still quite brisk, especially across the English Channel. Highs of around eight or nine degrees

01:42in the south, but cold across Scotland, with temperatures struggling here in some places

01:47to get above freezing. So as we go through Monday evening and overnight, we hold on to

01:53a lot of cloud coming in from the North Sea, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, quite

01:58heavy at times across the English Channel. Across Northern Ireland though, and across

02:03Scotland once again, that's where we'll see the lengthiest clear skies, and temperatures

02:08will quickly fall away to give a widespread frost, but also some mist and fog, some freezing

02:13fog developing, especially across parts of Northern Ireland. So it's going to be a cold

02:19night here across Northern Ireland and Scotland, but once again, underneath the blanket of

02:24cloud across much of England and Wales, generally staying frost free, with lows around four

02:29or five degrees. So a cold but a bright start across Scotland and Northern Ireland, with

02:36plenty of winter sunshine. Cloudy across the far north of Scotland though, perhaps seeing

02:42some patchy rain and drizzle later. But for most of England and Wales, it is going to

02:46be largely dry, but often quite cloudy, with lighter winds compared to what we've seen

02:52over recent days. Highs here eight or nine degrees, but cold in the north, with again

02:58temperatures struggling here to get above freezing. So as we look ahead through the

03:04week then, higher pressure will be becoming more established, but that does mean overnight

03:09frost and fog too. For all of the details though, keep up to date by subscribing to
