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 around six to seven Celsius across the south. But along eastern coasts where we see

01:19that brisk easterly breeze, that's where temperatures are actually going to feel more like freezing.

01:23So still a chilly day ahead as we head into tomorrow. Then for Wednesday, where we see

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

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

01:37North Sea coast and still some showers moving through here. Still a chance we could see

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

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

01:50parts of Ireland too. And still quite a keen easterly breeze, particularly across northeastern

01:55parts of England and Scotland. So feeling chillier here, but otherwise highs of around

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

02:05have this battle between the high pressure out to the east and also areas of low pressure

02:10out into the Atlantic. And it does eventually, as that high pressure drifts eastward, start

02:14to allow these frontal systems to just edge their way in a little bit more. And it's just

02:18this feature, by the time we reach Friday, we need to keep an eye on as if we find it

02:22slightly further east, falling into that colder air, there is a chance we could see a little

02:26bit of snow. But most of the models that we use here at the Met Office have that area

02:30of rain staying to the west and also falling as rain. So as we head into Thursday, then

02:37quite a damp start across parts of Wales, Devon and Cornwall. Still a chance we could

02:41see some sleet and snow across the Welsh hills and still once again, plenty of cloud and

02:46grey skies around to another drab day ahead. Still could see one or two showers just clipping

02:50into North Sea coasts. Once again, the best of the brightness to the northwest of Scotland,

02:55but anywhere across England and Wales could start to see a few brighter spells by the

02:59time we reach the afternoon and temperatures once again around about average, if not a

03:04touch below highs of around seven to eight Celsius in the south. Now, for Friday, as

03:10I mentioned, just keeping an eye on this feature down to the southwest, largely falling as

03:14rain, but could start to see some snow across Dartmoor, for example, and it should largely

03:19peter out through the course of the day. Elsewhere, once again, largely dry. Could see a patchy

03:24frost to start in the northwest and still can't rule out a few showers moving in along

03:29those North Sea coasts. But some sunshine once again to the north and northwest of Scotland,

03:34but even parts of Cumbria, western parts of Wales and parts of the southeast could see

03:39some brighter spells by the afternoon, perhaps even some sunshine breaking through those

03:43grey skies and temperatures remaining fairly similar highs of around seven to eight Celsius.

03:50Now heading into the weekend, still that area of high pressure out to the east and low pressure

03:55out to the Atlantic, trying to push in those frontal systems from the west, once again,

03:59budging in to the high pressure to the east. So we do just need to keep an eye on which

04:03one wins out. But if you want more details on that, we can always subscribe to our YouTube
