00:00Hello, good evening. Welcome to your latest Met Office forecast. Well, it's all changed

00:05after the weekend turning much colder across the whole of the U.K. At the moment, low pressure

00:10sat to the southwest. We're drawing in warm air from the near continent. You can tell

00:14that by the oranges across the whole of the U.K. There are temperatures well above average,

00:19possibly around 20 Celsius for one or two spots. However, it is all changed next week.

00:25The wind switched direction to a northerly direction and we see cold air filtering southwards.

00:31Arctic air temperatures back down to where they should be, if not a little below across

00:35northern parts of the U.K. with the risk of some wintry showers, particularly over the

00:39higher ground. There are a few showers around this evening across some western parts of

00:43the U.K., the far north as well, but these start to generally fizzle out as we head into

00:47the early hours. And for most, it will be a dry night, clear skies and temperatures

00:53as well, dipping in single figures. Again, not quite as cold as recent nights for many,

00:57but we could get down to a freezing for one or two spots under the clearest skies. Some

01:02mist and fog patches forming, particularly across northern England, parts of Scotland

01:06as well under those light winds, staying breezy across the far southwest. So it means a sunny

01:11start to the day for much of the U.K. on Sunday, breezy with some cloud across the far southwest.

01:17The sunshine will be hazy at times as we go through Sunday itself. A weather front always

01:21close by across the far north of Scotland, giving some patchy rain here. Any mist and

01:26fog patches becoming restricted to coastal stretches of eastern Scotland and northeast

01:31England and plenty of dry weather to come and winds generally light for many. Temperatures

01:37once again rising well above average, 19, possibly 20 Celsius across northwest England,

01:42perhaps north Wales for many getting towards the mid-teens. Still a little bit chillier

01:46down some eastern coast with that easterly breeze coming off the North Sea and any places

01:51stuck under any low cloud across the northeast here will struggle to get into double figures.

01:57But the vast majority well above where we should be, 7 to 11 degrees generally at this

02:01point in the year. So we head through the evening time. This weather front starts to

02:05sink its way southwards. This is the change to things to come for next week as colder

02:10air starts to filter in. Northerly winds developing, the rain turning to snow over the high ground

02:14of Scotland. Not unusual for this time of year at all. Elsewhere generally clear skies,

02:20some mist and fog patches forming but largely staying dry and temperatures once again falling

02:25into single figures under the clearest skies, perhaps close to freezing. One or two seeing

02:29a touch of frost but the vast majority temperatures holding up between 4 and 7 Celsius.

02:35This weather front across Scotland continues to slowly push southwards through Monday introducing

02:40that colder air. Wintry showers following behind, some sunny spells for northern Scotland

02:45clouding over into Northern Ireland, Northern England as we move through the day. Southern

02:50parts of England and Wales holding on to the sunshine for longest though turning cloudier

02:54as the day goes on. Here the warm air still holding on, 16, 17 Celsius. But behind the

03:00weather front much colder, 6, 7 degrees so feeling much chillier and actually temperatures

03:04a little below average across northern Scotland by the afternoon on Monday. So it's all change

03:10through next week as temperatures well above average at the moment but come Tuesday everywhere

03:15struggling to get into double figures, generally 7 to 9 degrees. For more information on this
