00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. I'm Mark O'Britannia.

00:03It's a cold and frosty start across many parts of the UK. We've got some ice in places too,

00:07particularly across central and northern parts of the UK, with showers also feeding in across

00:11Scotland and Northern Ireland. As we go through the day, it's a case of sunshine and showers.

00:16Showers again mainly reserved for the north of Scotland, feeding in across Northern Ireland,

00:19but also some feeding down through the Irish Sea and down some North Sea coasts at times

00:23as well. So it'll be inland areas seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon, particularly

00:26across inland parts of England and Wales. Wherever you are, it's staying chilly, temperatures

00:30generally no better than low to mid-single figures, perhaps peaking down towards the

00:34south-west at 6 or 7 Celsius. 6 in Plymouth is 43 in Fahrenheit. But if we add on the

00:39effect of that cold north to north-westerly wind, feeling more like freezing if not below

00:43out and about, then towards the north-east of Scotland, feeling more like minus 5 to

00:46minus 8 Celsius. So you'll certainly need to wrap up warm if you're heading out and

00:49about this afternoon. As we go into the evening and into the overnight period, those showers

00:54towards the north and north-west become even more widespread, feeding down across Scotland

00:58into Northern England and Northern Ireland, again giving sleet and snow for many here.

01:02So it'll be down towards the south and south-east seeing the best of the clear weather, but

01:05once again a widespread frost forming by Friday, ice in places, temperatures in towns and cities

01:09again below freezing, and across some rural parts of Scotland could be down to minus 10

01:13Celsius. Friday again will be a day of sunshine and showers, but the showers quite widespread

01:17towards the north and north-west of the UK, still giving sleet and snow in places, so

01:21the best of the sunshine once again down towards the far south and south-east of England

01:25and Wales. But again, despite any sunshine, it's going to be a cold day, temperatures

01:28widely in low to mid-single figures, again perhaps peaking at 6 Celsius down towards

01:32the south-west, that's 43 in Fahrenheit. As we go into the weekend, things will be turning

01:37even more unsettled. We'll see some outbreaks of rain and possibly some snow moving in from

01:40the south-west, so some disruption is possible. That's pretty much it for me, but of course
