00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. Low pressure remains

00:05very much in charge of our weather over the next couple of days, all thanks to a very

00:08strong jet stream out in the Atlantic, allowing low pressure to barrel towards the UK into

00:13the start of the new working week. It's this area of low pressure that we're watching at

00:16the moment, arriving later through Sunday and into Monday, bringing some strong winds

00:20and some heavy rain, particularly to southern areas, but also some milder air too, so temperatures

00:23returning a little above average by the time we get to Monday.

00:27Back to what we've got out there at the moment, though, and a band of showery rain across

00:30Northern Ireland spreads its way eastwards into parts of Northern England, into Scotland

00:34too. We could see some sleet and snow, particularly over any high ground, but generally that rain

00:39fizzling out across much of England into the early hours of Sunday morning. We'll then

00:43see some clear spells developing behind, and that will allow temperatures to drop a little

00:46below freezing, particularly across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland during the

00:50early hours of Sunday morning, so some frost and perhaps some ice likely to start on Sunday.

00:56A little bit of a milder and cloudier start across much of England and Wales, though.

00:59Outbreaks of heavy rain soon arriving across the southwest, spreading north and eastwards

01:04through Sunday morning. There could be some quite heavy downpours here, particularly across

01:07parts of Wales, southwest England, and then later into parts of Northern Ireland, Northern

01:11England and eastern parts of England too. Scotland always holding on to that drier weather

01:16for a little longer, perhaps some sunshine through the afternoon, but heavy blustery

01:19showers soon feeding into the southwest. And with that southwesterly breeze just drawing

01:23up some slightly milder air here, so temperatures a little above average, ten or eleven degrees

01:27as a maximum, but generally elsewhere those temperatures are round about average for the

01:31time of year. As we then go through the rest of Sunday evening, heavy and blustery showers

01:37continuing to pile in across the southwest, and that weather front spreading its way northwards

01:41into parts of Scotland again, perhaps falling asleep in snow over any high ground into the

01:45early hours of Monday morning. Further outbreaks of rain arriving across the southeast, this

01:50heading north and eastwards again, but perhaps could cause some spray on the roads during

01:54Monday morning's rush hour, and further heavy blustery showers feeding into the southwest

01:59into the start of the new working week. With all that cloud and rain around and those strong

02:03winds too, likely to be a bit of a milder night and a milder start to the day on Monday,

02:09temperatures widely in the mid to high single figures. So a damp and windy start for many

02:14of us on Monday morning. Heavy blustery showers feeding in from the southwest, these perhaps

02:19merging to longer spells of rain across parts of Northern Ireland, Wales and northern parts

02:23of England and even into southern parts of Scotland too. There will be some plenty of

02:26blustery showers as well across the far north of Scotland, and those again merging to longer

02:31spells of rain across western parts, although perhaps staying a little drier across the

02:34southeast through Monday afternoon. With those brisk southwesterly winds we're feeding in

02:39that milder air, as I mentioned, temperatures 9, 10, perhaps 11 degrees and 6 or 7 further

02:44north, so quite widely a little above average for the time of year. Further wet and windy

02:50weather is likely as we head through much of next week, so do make sure you hit subscribe
