00:00Hello there, welcome to your Friday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04It's a cold start to the day, we've seen a widespread frost overnight, severe in places,
00:09a light breeze for most away from the Northern Isles, but the wind's shifting around from a
00:13northerly direction to more of a westerly, particularly across the northern half of the
00:17UK, as we head through today. High pressure drifts southwards as well, so clearer skies
00:23tonight will be mostly confined to southern Scotland, England and Wales, where again we'll
00:28see a frost and we'll see more showers coming in across more western and northern parts of Scotland,
00:33clipping Northern Ireland. So that's how we start today, you can see where the showy bursts are,
00:38still a brisk breeze here and those westerly winds delivering showers to western Scotland,
00:42also the far north of Northern Ireland, down towards the North Channel and running down the
00:46Irish Sea. So a brisk wind also across the east coast of England through the first part of the day,
00:52any showers tending to fade away as they drift offshore through the morning into the afternoon.
00:57For many though, it's a bright start with some sunny spells. Through the day though,
01:01notice these showers will drift inland, you could see some across the central belt,
01:05frequent showers across the north of Scotland. Now for England and Wales, it's mostly dry with
01:10some sunny spells, but one or two showers just moving in across the northwest of Wales,
01:14northwest England and we could see showers coming and going across the far north of Northern Ireland.
01:19Temperatures then after a very cold start, six, seven degrees Celsius, perhaps a nine for the western
01:25isles of Scotland with that fresh wind coming in from a westerly direction. So that's the picture
01:31through this afternoon, through this evening and overnight, yet again, some clear skies across
01:36England and Wales, perhaps even southern eastern Scotland. So that's where we'll see the frost
01:40and temperatures falling very quickly, a cold night. At the same time, always more in the way of cloud
01:45across Scotland and we'll see showery bursts of rain, particularly towards the west with that
01:50strengthening a southwesterly wind. A few showers drifting in across Irish sea coasts as well.
01:57So through into the early hours of Saturday morning, a frosty start across England and Wales,
02:01we'll see showers elsewhere. So you can see on the bigger picture that high pressure drifts down
02:06towards the southeast, low pressure sitting across Scandinavia and then we inherit more of a breeze as
02:12we head through Saturday and into Sunday. At the same time, a bit of a battle goes on in terms
02:17of air masses.
02:18We have this milder air coming in from the southwest and the colder air then returns across the far
02:24north of Scotland with some wintry showers. But as this rain moves in through Saturday and into
02:29Sunday, there's a chance the rain could turn to snow on its northern edge, particularly across the
02:33higher ground of Scotland. Low pressure then influencing our weather through the latter part
02:37of the weekend. But for Saturday morning, a frosty start across England and Wales yet again.
02:42Winds will be stronger towards the west and outbreaks of rain across the north and northwest of
02:47Scotland with that strong wind as well. Could be heavy in places. Through the day, more on the way
02:52of cloud across Wales, central southern England. Some brighter breaks towards the east there.
02:56Showery bursts across northern England, southern Scotland and that more persistent rain across the
03:00far north of Scotland. A few showers for Northern Ireland. And this is how we see Sunday. Outbreaks of
03:05rain in the north. Some showery bursts further south. Temperatures will gradually recover. But towards
03:10the far north of Scotland, the air turns colder. And with that, some rain could turn to snow.
03:14We'll obviously keep you posted on all our social media channels. Have a lovely day.
