Transcript

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

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

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

01:19particularly across northern parts of Scotland, but often feeling rather chilly under those

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

01:29their way further across parts of England and Wales, though it does generally stall

01:35across northern parts of Wales and northern parts of England for midnight itself if you

01:38are out celebrating New Year's Eve. And across the far north, once again, plenty of showers.

01:43These merging into longer spells of rain at times too. And once again, we could see some

01:47snow and we do have a risk of ice also for northern parts of Scotland. But across the

01:51south, once again, largely dry, though plenty of cloud around as we head towards the new

01:56year. Then through the early hours, once again, those outbreaks of rain still continuing across

02:01northern parts of Wales, parts of northern parts of England and central parts too. Once

02:06again, this rather heavy and persistent at times. Still, those showers continue across

02:10the far north and slightly milder across the south where we see those cloudier skies linger

02:15on but turning very chilly indeed across the far north of Scotland as we start to introduce

02:19a brisk northerly flow here. And then for New Year's Day itself, once again, outbreaks

02:25of rain, these slowly edging towards the south and southeast, still heavy and persistent

02:29at times. And to the north of this, it is going to be turning very cold. So if we see

02:33any blustery showers moving through, these likely falling as snow across hilly areas

02:38and very blustery amongst these showers too. So feeling very cold in the wind. But across

02:43the far south, milder, yes, but it is going to be a wet afternoon on offer for the new

02:48year. So 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

02:59end 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

03:11miss any updates. Bye bye.
