00:00Hello there. It's Valentine's at the end of the week, but will the weather be showing

00:04us some love or is it going to be leaving us outside in the cold? Well, our weather

00:08is still largely dominated by this area of high pressure across Scandinavia, dragging

00:13in that easterly flow across the UK and with it some cloud and also some patchy rain and

00:18showers. But what else it also does is stops these frontal systems moving their way in

00:23from the west and southwest, could drag in a little bit of cloud and some patchy rain

00:27at times. But on the whole, it pushes up against that high pressure. It stops the moving

00:32too far inland. So that means there is still going to be plenty of dry weather around a

00:36different story around North Sea coast, though an area of low pressure swirling around here.

00:41So that's going to drag in some patchy rain. Also, a fair few showers, few showers starting

00:46to clip into northeastern parts of Scotland, too. And we could also see some sleet and

00:50snow at times that mainly across high ground. Eastern parts of the Grampians, also parts

00:55of the Pennines, could see some sleet and snow across hilly areas. But elsewhere, largely

01:00falling as rain and drizzle, the best of the brightness likely to the northwest of Scotland.

01:05Even Dumfries and Galloway could see some brighter spells by the time we reach the afternoon.

01:09Otherwise, largely dry, perhaps a little bit patchy drizzle across Cornwall and temperatures

01:14highs are around six to seven Celsius across the south, but along eastern coasts where

01:18we see that brisk easterly breeze, that's where temperatures are actually going to feel

01:22more like freezing. So still a chilly day ahead as we head into tomorrow. Then for Wednesday,

01:29where we see the clearest skies just to the northwest of Scotland, we could see some patchy

01:33frost here and there's still going to be lots of cloud and murk around, particularly around

01:36those North Sea coasts and still some showers moving through here. Still a chance we could

01:41see some sleet and snow across high ground and also a fair amount of murky cloud across

01:46parts of Cornwall, maybe even some rain and drizzle here, perhaps just starting to clip

01:49into western parts of Ireland, too, and still quite a keen easterly breeze, particularly

01:54across northeastern parts of England and Scotland. So feeling chillier here, but otherwise highs

01:59of around seven to eight Celsius in the south. Now, from the middle part of the week, we

02:04do still have this battle between the high pressure out to the east and also areas of

02:09low pressure out into the Atlantic. And it does eventually, as that high pressure drifts

02:13eastward, start to allow these frontal systems to just edge their way in a little bit more.

02:17And it's just this feature. By the time we reach Friday, we need to keep an eye on us.

02:21If we find it slightly further east, falling into that colder air, there is a chance we

02:25could see a little bit of snow. But most of the models that we use here at the Met Office

02:29have that area of that area of rain staying to the west and also falling as rain. So as

02:36we head into Thursday, then quite a damp start across parts of Wales, Devon and Cornwall.

02:40Still a chance we could see some sleet and snow across the Welsh hills and still once

02:44again, plenty of cloud and grey skies around to another drab day ahead. Still could see

02:49one or two showers just clipping into North Sea coasts. Once again, the best of the brightness

02:53to the northwest of Scotland, but anywhere across England and Wales could start to see

02:58a few brighter spells by the time we reach the afternoon and temperatures once again

03:02around about average, if not a touch below highs of around seven to eight Celsius in

03:07the south. Now, for Friday, as I mentioned, just keeping an eye on this feature down to

03:13the southwest, largely falling as rain, but could start to see some snow across Dartmoor,

03:17for example, and it should largely peter out through the course of the day elsewhere. Once

03:22again, largely dry could see a patchy frost to start in the northwest and still can't

03:27rule out a few showers moving in along those North Sea coasts. But some sunshine once again

03:32to the north and northwest of Scotland, but even parts of Cumbria, western parts of Wales,

03:37even parts of the southeast could see some brighter spells by the afternoon, perhaps

03:40even some sunshine breaking through those grey skies and temperatures remaining fairly

03:45similar highs of around seven to eight Celsius. Now, heading into the weekend, still that

03:52area of high pressure out to the east and low pressure out the Atlantic, trying to push

03:56in those frontal systems from the west, once again, but budging in to the high pressure

04:01to the east. So we do just need to keep an eye on which one wins out. But if you want

04:05more details on that, we can always subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you never miss

04:09an update. Have a good week. Bye bye.
