00:00Hello there, or good afternoon to you. For some of us it does feel like we're still

00:04having to hunt down the sunshine at the moment but there are a few glimmers out

00:08there for a lucky few of us. We've currently got this quite extensive area

00:12of cloud out in the North Sea that is drifting its way in across the UK. Why?

00:16Well high pressure has situated itself across Scandinavia and with winds moving

00:21in a clockwise direction around that we are feeding in an easterly wind from the

00:25North Sea and that is bringing in that moisture, bringing in that cloud for many

00:29of us. But areas further towards the west are starting off today on a bit of a

00:33brighter sunnier note particularly for parts of southwest England, southwest

00:36Wales, also parts of County Derry and up into northwestern Scotland as well. There

00:40has been a decent amount of sunshine to kick off the day and these areas will

00:43hold on to a touch of that brightness throughout this afternoon as well

00:46particularly across the northwest where it is going to be a quite nice and

00:49pleasant day. Further towards the east though where we're stuck underneath that

00:53cloud it's going to be grey and drab, outbreaks of rain in places, showers

00:56maybe even a touch of hill snow as well. Underneath that cloud it is going to be

01:01feeling rather cold, temperatures around 6-7 degrees Celsius at best but

01:06particularly into this afternoon and later on into the evening that easterly

01:09wind is going to start picking up in strength and we're going to see an

01:13increased wind chill factor added on top of that. Those outbreaks of rain will

01:16continue this evening and overnight particularly across parts of England and

01:19Wales but clearer skies will remain across more northwestern areas of

01:23Scotland and here temperatures will drop off quite a bit, below as minus 5

01:28maybe minus 6 degrees Celsius in some sheltered areas. Pockets of frost

01:33potential across other western areas where we see a few clear spells

01:36developing but most areas underneath the cloud will see temperatures more around

01:403 to 4 degrees Celsius as we start off the new working week. But despite that

01:46very cold start in northwestern Scotland it's here once again where we're going to

01:49see the best of the sunshine throughout the day for the Highlands, the Outer

01:53Hebrides, parts of Argyll and Bute, a very lovely day here with widespread

01:57sunshine in there. Elsewhere that cloud is still coming in from the North Sea

02:01starting to see more showers drifting their way in for the Pennines and

02:04particularly we could see a couple of centimetres of snow building up in

02:07places and it is going to be feeling very cold once again. Temperatures are

02:12starting to struggle with that lack of sunshine, 5-6 degrees Celsius as our

02:16temperatures on the thermometer but when we add on the strength of that increasing

02:20easterly wind it is going to be feeling more like freezing for the vast majority

02:24of us. So certainly Monday and even into next week it is going to be one where we

02:29are going to be having to wrap up warm if we are outside particularly when

02:32exposed to that very biting easterly wind on those eastern coastal districts.

02:37So this will be a very similar picture into Monday evening and that stagnant

02:41weather pattern is looking like it will stay around for a good portion of this

02:46forthcoming week with that Scandinavian high still rooting itself in play. We'll

02:51have plenty more updates on what you can expect though over the next few days on

02:54our YouTube channel so do subscribe for those. Otherwise we'll see you again soon.

02:57Bye bye.
