Hi there. The weather might not have a festive feel that many people ask for at Christmas
00:06
time but actually there is some fine weather at least for the big day itself. Now for Christmas
00:12
Eve we've seen this warm front go through and so the whole of the UK now is in a mild
00:18
west to south west Atlantic airflow. A lot of cloud, that cloud giving continued hill
00:23
fog in the west and some patchy drizzle particularly over hills of northern England and western
00:28
Scotland but for many it's a dry afternoon ahead with some brighter spells coming through
00:35
for the likes of north east Wales, north east England and north east Scotland where the
00:39
cloud breaks up a little over the hills and that's where the highest temperatures are
00:44
likely so widely 12 or 13 Celsius but in some places where the temperature will warm up
00:51
as the wind comes over the hills it could get to 14 or 15 Celsius, north east Wales,
00:57
north east England, north east Scotland. 15.6 Celsius is the record in the UK for
01:04
Christmas Eve and it wouldn't surprise me if the temperature on Christmas Eve afternoon
01:08
comes close to that. Now overnight we're going to see the winds pick up across the north
01:14
west of Scotland, 15 mph wind gusts in some exposed spots along with some persistent rain
01:18
for Shetland, for Lewis Harris and the north west Highlands. Elsewhere it's mostly dry,
01:25
one or two spots of drizzle over western hills but otherwise a dry night in store and
01:30
a very mild night with extensive cloud once again and temperatures in many locations not
01:36
dipping below the double figures. Despite the mild and gloomy start to Christmas Day
01:42
actually there will be some brighter weather coming along and I think for England, Wales,
01:46
eastern Scotland it's going to be a brighter day compared with Christmas Eve. You can see
01:50
these cloud breaks developing, a little uncertainty about exactly how many of these cloud breaks
01:55
will form and where but it does look a little more favoured for brighter spells coming through
02:00
for the Midlands, southern England, east Wales for example and north east Scotland. And once
02:07
again it is a very mild day, temperatures down about a degree compared with Christmas
02:12
Eve so unlikely to break any records for Christmas Day. A similar record for Christmas Day is
02:17
15.6 Celsius but mostly it's going to be 11 or 12 Celsius, one or two spots could get
02:23
to 13 or 14 degrees. Again it's going to be wet and windy in the far north west of
02:28
Scotland but otherwise plenty of fine weather out there if you're planning a Christmas Day
02:33
walk for example. Now into Christmas Day night, the rain in north west Scotland continues
02:40
to fall and it starts to edge slowly south eastwards along with gusty winds returning
02:46
here and that front by Boxing Day morning is across the central belt and northern Ireland
02:53
pushing into parts of southern Scotland. Still some cloud breaks further south but
02:57
the cloud will tend to thicken once again by the afternoon and that cloud will be low
03:01
so another grey day for many. The damp weather though mostly confined to parts of northern
03:07
England and Scotland with some brighter spells coming along for the far north as that front
03:12
clears and feeling a little colder as that happens, seven or eight Celsius along with
03:17
one or two showers but we keep the double figures further south although a degree or
03:22
so down on Christmas Day's temperatures. For the rest of the week and into the weekend
03:27
it stays mostly dry with a lot of cloud although there will be some rain at times in the north
03:33
in particular.
