Welcome to your Afternoon Weather Update from the Met Office.
00:03
Another fairly drab and dismal day out there for most places.
00:07
But it's not just across the UK where there's a lot of cloud.
00:10
It's smothering much of northern and central Europe,
00:13
all thanks to a chunky area of high pressure,
00:16
which is keeping the easterly breeze going.
00:18
Although not as strong as yesterday,
00:20
it's still funneling in quite a lot of thick cloud.
00:23
That cloud providing a few spots of drizzly rain here and there as well.
00:27
Even the odd flake of snow likely over the hills of northern England and southern Scotland.
00:32
A few more showers, light showers, going into the Midlands,
00:35
East Anglia and the South East, perhaps even into East Wales.
00:38
But most places dry and drab.
00:41
Now there are a few breaks in the cloud.
00:43
We've seen some sunny spells in Devon, Cornwall.
00:45
A few breaks appearing in West Wales and certainly Western Scotland,
00:48
the favoured spot for a bit of blue sky through the rest of today.
00:52
Wherever you are though, it is on the chilly side
00:54
and it feels particularly cold again on these North Sea coasts.
00:58
As I mentioned, the wind not as strong as yesterday,
01:00
but any breeze coming in from the North Sea at this time of year is going to make it feel cold.
01:04
The thermometer will read five or six at best
01:07
and when you add on that breeze, it feels much closer to freezing.
01:12
So yes, a pretty chilly day, a pretty grey day.
01:15
Still some light showers here and there as we go into the evening.
01:18
But again, nothing too heavy.
01:20
Most places will have a dry night.
01:23
We'll keep a lot of cloud, but I think we'll see a few more breaks developing in the cloud tonight.
01:27
Of course, Western areas in particular.
01:29
So some lengthy clear spells allowing a frost for Western Scotland.
01:33
Also parts of North West England, West Wales, South West England
01:36
and parts of Northern Ireland are seeing a few breaks in the cloud.
01:40
Temperature wise, well, it depends on that cloud cover.
01:43
If we keep the cloud, it's tending to hold up at two or three degrees.
01:46
But certainly that blue hue on the map suggesting a fairly extensive frost
01:50
across Western Scotland with clear skies and any clearer skies further south
01:54
will also allow temperatures in rural areas to get down to freezing.
01:57
So another pretty chilly start to Thursday.
01:59
But a better chance of seeing a few more sunny spells across Western areas in particular.
02:04
But even further east, there may be a few more glimmers of brightness.
02:08
However, it will actually probably feel a bit colder tomorrow.
02:11
Slightly colder air is moving in.
02:13
The odd shower, but most places just again, drab and dry.
02:18
But I say temperatures are going to struggle a little bit.
02:20
The winds in the east will be a little bit lighter tomorrow,
02:23
but temperatures only four or five degrees at best.
02:25
Where we'll see the breeze picking up is in the southwest,
02:28
actually getting quite gusty here by the end of the day as the cloud starts to thicken
02:33
and eventually some outbreaks of rain just trickling in towards the Isles of Sey and West Cornwall.
02:39
That is some signs of an attempted change in our weather pattern
02:43
as we head towards the end of the week.
02:45
But it is only going to be an attempt.
02:47
These weather fronts just gradually edging in but fizzling out
02:50
as they bump up against high pressure further east.
02:53
And this high pressure to low pressure battle is likely to continue into the weekend.
02:58
Weather fronts will make slow progress across the country.
03:01
They could provide some damp weather and even a little bit of snow in places
03:05
during the course of the weekend.
03:07
But even by the end of the weekend, those weather fronts not making much progress.
03:10
High pressure and the cold air still in place across many eastern areas.
03:13
So it's a real battleground as we head into next week.
03:16
For more on that, you can catch our 10-day trend forecast.
03:20
Alex Burkill will be recording that and that will be available on our YouTube channel
03:24
by this afternoon.
