00:00Hello there, good evening. As we head towards the New Year's celebrations, I'm afraid it's

00:05a very unsettled forecast ahead. Multiple Met Office warnings in force, including an

00:10amber warning issued for New Year's Eve for rain across parts of Scotland. So do take

00:14care if you're travelling around for any festivities. And as we head into this evening, we'll see

00:19those outbreaks of rain push their way into parts of Scotland, falling as snow mainly

00:23across hills but also to lower levels too, mainly across northern parts of Scotland.

00:28And where we do see those outbreaks of rain turning rather heavy and persistent at times,

00:33where we do see that amber warning issued across parts of Scotland. And then through

00:36the early hours of the morning, we'll start to see that heavy rain start to creep into

00:40parts of Northern Ireland too. But across much of England and Wales, a dry night on

00:44offer, plenty of cloud around though that is going to keep temperatures up. But a chilly

00:48start across northern parts of Scotland where we do see that snowfall. And then for New

00:53Year's Eve itself, an unsettled day ahead for many of us. Plenty of blustery winds across

00:58the far north. We could see gusts of around 60, maybe even 70 miles per hour across parts

01:02of Northern England as those outbreaks of rain move through. They will eventually clear

01:07parts of Scotland but plenty of blustery showers here. Once again, these could be heavy at

01:11times and falling as snow at times too, particularly across the far north of Scotland. Shetland

01:15for example, seeing multiple snow showers. Temperatures up by a degree or two, particularly

01:20across northern parts of Scotland but often feeling rather chilly under those cloudier

01:24skies. Through into the evening, we'll see these outbreaks of rain slowly shift their

01:29way further across parts of England and Wales. Though it does generally stall across northern

01:35parts of Wales and northern parts of England for midnight itself if you are out celebrating

01:39New Year's Eve. And across the far north, once again, plenty of showers. These merging

01:44into longer spells of rain at times too. And once again, we could see some snow and we

01:47do have a risk of ice also for northern parts of Scotland. But across the south, once again,

01:53largely dry, though plenty of cloud around as we head towards the new year. Then through

01:58the early hours, once again, those outbreaks of rain still continuing across northern parts

02:02of Wales, northern parts of England and central parts too. Once again, this rather heavy and

02:07persistent at times, still those showers continuing across the far north. And slightly milder

02:12across the south where we see those cloudier skies linger on but turning very chilly indeed

02:16across the far north of Scotland as we start to introduce a brisk northerly flow here.

02:22And then for New Year's Day itself, once again, outbreaks of rain. These slowly edging

02:26towards the south and southeast, still heavy and persistent at times. And to the north

02:30of this, it is going to be turning very cold. So if we see any blustery showers moving through,

02:35these likely falling as snow across hilly areas and very blustery amongst these showers

02:40too. So feeling very cold in the wind. But across the far south, milder, yes, but it

02:45is going to be a wet afternoon on offer for the new year.

02:50So as we head into next week, once again, this cold northerly flow that will slowly

02:54shift its way towards much of the country. So we'll start to see more sunshine for the

02:58end of the week, yes, but plenty of sunshine. These likely falling as snow and it is going

03:03to be feeling cold, particularly in those brisk northerly winds. But of course, for

03:08more updates on that, you can always subscribe to our YouTube channel and then you'll never

03:11miss any updates. Bye bye.
