00:00Hello again. A bit of a chilly feel to things for many of us today. And there are some showers

00:05around as well. These are mainly towards the north and east today because we have a north

00:10northeasterly flow pushing its way across the country, dragging in those showers and

00:15dragging in some cold Arctic air, which is why temperatures for many are going to be

00:19quite a bit lower than they were yesterday. Like I said, though, the showers today mainly

00:24across parts of Scotland and down the eastern side of England as well. We're bearing in

00:28mind some of these showers, especially in the north, could be a bit wintry, some sleet,

00:32some snow above two to three hundred metres or so. There could also be a bit of hail,

00:36a bit of thunder mixed in with them, perhaps even a bit of graupel at times too. Further

00:40south and west, very few if any showers reaching here, so it's looking mostly dry and there

00:45should be some bright sunny spells for most of us as well, albeit a bit more cloud developing

00:49as we go through the day. Like I said, a chilly feel to things though. In the south, temperatures

00:54markedly lower than they were yesterday, a good four to five degrees lower for some

00:58places, just about scraping into double figures at ten, maybe eleven Celsius towards the far

01:04south. Further north, temperatures on paper may be a degree or so higher than yesterday,

01:10could get to double figures perhaps around the central belt. But when you factor in that

01:14brisk wind coming in from the north, it is going to feel pretty chilly indeed. More showers

01:19to come as we go through the end of the day. In fact, they're actually going to become

01:22a bit more widespread. They'll push their way southwards, so a scattering of showers

01:26across Northern Ireland through the evening and then some showers developing overnight

01:30across parts of central, southern England and Wales. But in between the showers, there

01:35will be some clear skies and with the colder air, the clear skies, perfect ingredients

01:39for our temperatures to take a bit of a dip. So it is going to be a chillier, colder night

01:44than we've seen through some recent nights, especially in the south where we get the clear

01:47skies, touch of frost quite likely and do watch out for some icy stretches where there

01:52are wet surfaces and then temperatures dip below freezing. That means we are going to

01:56see some perhaps difficult driving conditions first thing with some icy patches possible.

02:01Otherwise, as we go through tomorrow and I think on the whole, it is going to be a bit

02:04more showery than today, greater chance of catching some showers and some heavier ones

02:08piling into particularly northeast England and again, some sleet, some snow mixed in.

02:12We could see a little bit settling over the higher ground, even some flurries perhaps

02:16to lower levels for a time. Further west, a greater chance of avoiding the showers,

02:21but one or two may push their way in. And all the time, even where you get the showers,

02:25there should be some sunny spells in between any of them. Temperatures are going to be

02:30even lower tomorrow than today. So feeling chilly, especially well, chilly for the time

02:35of year and even more so feeling it when you factor in the winds, brisk winds coming from

02:40the north northeast means for some places it's going to feel close to freezing, if not

02:45a little bit below. So a real raw feel to things as we go through into tomorrow.

02:49And looking ahead, we stick with the colder air across us as we go towards the end of the week.

02:54There is high pressure out towards the west. So western areas seeing fewer showers as we

02:58go through Thursday and Friday, but still plenty of showers to come. But by the weekend,

03:02that high pressure becomes more dominant. And so our weather should settle down for

03:06a little bit of time. And so it's going to look well, it's going to be largely dry through

03:10Saturday and much of Sunday, but we're clinging on to that chilly air. So not turning especially

03:16warm, but with fewer showers around, greater chance of seeing some decent sunshine. It

03:20shouldn't feel too bad at all. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
