00:00Hello, here's your latest Met Office weekend weather update as we look at the weather we

00:05can expect through the last weekend of 2024. Now, we are starting to lose the influence

00:10of the high pressure that's brought all the calm but quite cloudy weather for many of

00:14us through the Christmas period. And that means we're going to see some fronts starting

00:19to push their way in. Initially, as we go through Saturday, there will be a relatively

00:23weak frontal system making its way southwards across parts of Scotland and into Northern

00:27Ireland, bringing a bit of wet weather for a time. And some of that rain will push into

00:32the far north of England as we go through later on in the day as well. But to the north

00:37of this front, we're actually going to see some bright or sunny spells developing, but

00:40also a scattering of blustery showers at times too. Elsewhere and across the rest of England

00:46and much of Wales, it's pretty similar to how it has been over the past couple of days

00:50really. Lots of cloud around, lots of grey skies, and that cloud could be quite low.

00:54Also some hill fog in places and some patches of fog elsewhere being pretty slow to lift

01:00and to clear away. Quite a grey gloomy picture once again, and there will be some drizzly

01:06rain in places as well. With all that cloud, quite a chilly feel to things again, especially

01:11towards the north, despite the fact that there will be some sunny spells here. I think it

01:15will be quite chilly for some and even elsewhere with that cloud then, yes, feeling pretty

01:19cold. Not too surprising for the time of year. Later on on Saturday, and as we go overnight

01:24into Sunday, that weak front is going to continue its way southwards, but it really

01:28dies a death and eases as it goes. So most places not seeing a huge amount of rain in

01:33association with this system. It's another frontal system that pushes in across parts

01:37of Scotland. As we go into Sunday, that's going to bring some heavier, more persistent

01:41rain here. As well as that, we are going to see some strong winds, so a wet and windy

01:46picture across much of Scotland as we go through Sunday. Otherwise, and across much of Northern

01:50Ireland, many parts of Northern England and towards the south coast, a fair bit of cloud

01:55here, also some cloud across many parts of Wales. But there will be more sunshine on

02:00offer on Sunday than we've seen of late, especially across some central parts of England towards

02:04the east, east Anglia, and even across some parts of South Wales, the southwest here,

02:08we should see some bright or sunny breaks developing. So more sunshine than we have

02:13seen recently. And with that, temperatures are going to be a little bit higher around

02:17or perhaps even a touch above average for the time of year, although there's some colder

02:21air coming into the far north of the UK. And with that, we could see some sleet or snow

02:26over the higher ground of Scotland. The most unsettled weather, though, is to come as we

02:30go through next week. We are going to see a strengthening jet stream driving various

02:35areas of low pressure. So initially, an area of low pressure comes through on Monday, increasing

02:40the rain and some strong winds too. But then a deeper low is likely to come through as

02:45we go through New Year's Eve and into New Year's Day. And so it's this one that's most

02:49likely to bring the greatest disruptive weather. Now, there is some uncertainty about it in

02:55terms of both the track that it's going to take. It could be a little bit further south,

02:58could be a little bit further north than these graphics here suggest. And also the exact

03:03timing may be a bit slower than this suggests. And in fact, we could see the most severe

03:08weather on New Year's Day itself rather than New Year's Eve. But nonetheless, it does look

03:12like it is going to be pretty unsettled for many of us, especially towards the north of

03:16the UK as we go towards the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Thereafter, that low

03:22should clear through and we could get a bit more dry, settled but colder weather as we

03:26go for a little bit beyond and deeper into the beginning of January. So you'll want to

03:31keep up to date with the forecast, especially with the potential for some unsettled weather

03:35to end the year. Make sure you do so by keeping up to date with our YouTube channel. Bye bye.
