00:00Hello, very good morning to you. Happy Saturday. It's another crisp, frosty start for many of us, especially in England
00:07and Wales, all due to high pressure currently over more central areas of Europe.
00:12But the influence of it is bringing the largely clear, calm weather that we have here.
00:17Those light winds, clear skies overnight, allowing temperatures to drop below freezing.
00:21But towards the northwest of the UK, a bit more of a breeze here and there's some cloud, there's some
00:26outbreaks of rain.
00:27And that's the theme that we take through into the bulk of today, really.
00:31Across the majority of England and Wales, we're looking at lots of sunshine, lots of blue sky, bit more cloud
00:37than we saw yesterday, especially across parts of Wales, western, southwestern England as well.
00:42But nonetheless, most of us should see some decent sunshine, some of that cloud filtering into the Midlands and eastern
00:47parts of England as well.
00:49Towards the northwest, however, across northern Ireland, Scotland, some northern, northwestern parts of England and Wales, perhaps outbreaks of rain,
00:56a bit more cloud here and some persistent rain affecting the far north of Scotland.
01:00That's going to be turning a bit heavier through the afternoon.
01:03Some brisk winds towards the northwest will make it feel quite chilly, with temperature still a little bit below average
01:08for the time of year.
01:10Towards the south, we have those lighter winds and more sunshine, but it is still a bit chilly, albeit not
01:15as chilly as it was yesterday.
01:16If we compare our temperatures today with what we saw yesterday, you can see many places are a couple of
01:21degrees higher, so it is going to feel a little bit less cold, a little bit milder for most.
01:27More wet weather towards the northwest through the evening.
01:30So across northern Ireland and Scotland, we are going to see cloud, rain coming through, the rain turning heavier, could
01:35even be a bit wintry, some sleet, some snow over the higher ground through the night.
01:39And then across England and Wales, after an initially chilly start to the night, with some early frost perhaps, things
01:45are going to turn a bit milder as cloud pushes its way and the winds start to pick up and
01:50there will be some outbreaks of rain as well.
01:52So temperatures not dropping as low as they did last night, but nonetheless, some eastern areas, yes, could see a
01:57bit of a frost before we see that milder, more unsettled weather making its way through.
02:02So definitely tomorrow looks like the wetter day of the weekend for most of us, especially across England and Wales.
02:09Outbreaks of rain could be quite heavy at times, with some blustery winds making their way eastwards across pretty much
02:15everywhere.
02:15Yes, there will be some sunshine around, but also a fair few outbreaks of rain and some of that rain
02:20could be quite persistent, especially in northern areas.
02:22And with some cold air digging in across parts of Scotland, likely to be a bit wintry, some sleet, some
02:27snow over higher ground in particular.
02:30Temperatures are actually, if anything, going to be higher than today, quite widely getting into double digits.
02:35But we do need to factor in that there will be the blustery winds, more cloud, more rain and less
02:41sunshine.
02:41So not really feeling much milder, even if on paper those temperatures are a degree or so higher.
02:48As we go into next week, and the more unsettled weather does clear away for a time, but behind it
02:53we have cold air digging in from the north.
02:55So expect some wintry showers across northern parts on Monday, elsewhere starting the day largely fine.
03:01But there's more unsettled weather set to push its way in later on in the day coming in from the
03:05southwest.
03:06And as that hits the cold air across us, well, we could see some disruptive snow.
03:10Of course, we will be keeping you on top of that through the weekend, so stick with us on YouTube.
03:14Bye-bye.
