00:00Hi there, a dreary and damp day for many parts of the United Kingdom.
00:05Some brightness in the far south and more especially the far north,
00:08but big temperature contrasts out there at the moment with milder air arriving into the far south,
00:14cold air penetrating the north of the UK and in between frontal systems bringing persistent outbreaks of rain for some.
00:23We've had a wet start to the day for Northern Ireland.
00:25That rain's actually clearing, but as these frontal systems merge, it's going to stick around for the south and southeast
00:31of Scotland,
00:32Northern England, the North Midlands into parts of East Anglia initially, as well as Wales.
00:36In the far south, we've got some brightness emerging, a few sunny spells, especially towards the southeast,
00:43but also blustery showers with gusty winds in the southwest and some hail and thunder where these showers are at
00:50their most lively.
00:51Nevertheless, in the south, it's actually going to feel milder compared with recent days.
00:56Temperatures up to as high as 14 Celsius, but where it's persistently grey and damp for the north of Wales,
01:03North Midlands, Northern England and Southern Scotland, 6 to 8 Celsius.
01:07Feeling cold again across Scotland and Northern Ireland with northerly winds and further showers coming through for Northern Scotland
01:14with initially snow mostly confined to 250 metres or above, but that'll come down to lower levels for a time
01:21during the evening.
01:22Again, any settling snow above 200 metres inland Scotland.
01:27But whether it's snow or rain showers that Northern Scotland or indeed the rest of Scotland and Northern England see
01:34overnight,
01:34it's going to turn colder and with clear spells between showers,
01:39we'll see widely icy stretches forming for the northern half of the UK.
01:44A widespread frost as rain clears into the North Sea and clear skies emerge and winds fall light.
01:51So, yeah, a chilly start to Monday.
01:53Temperatures as low as minus 5 to minus 8 Celsius for sheltered parts of Scotland,
01:57but a bright start here away from those showers that will continue to push into the north of Scotland.
02:02Further showers or longer spells of rain into the east of England at first,
02:05but these will tend to ease away during the morning, a brighter afternoon to come.
02:10Plenty of sunshine then for the Midlands, the east and north of England, much as Scotland.
02:14Northern Ireland, the sky's turning hazy as a high cloud moves in and that's ahead of the next frontal system,
02:21which will lead to a wet end to the afternoon for South Wales and the south and southwest of England,
02:26as well as strengthening winds.
02:28That will make it feel a little bit colder compared with Sunday.
02:31And it's certainly a cold feel towards the north and east, but helped by a better chance of sunny skies
02:37compared with Sunday.
02:39Any showers tending to ease a little across the north of Scotland by the end of Monday.
02:44And again, a widespread frost in the far north as the sun goes down.
02:50But towards the south, the rain pushes into cold air across central parts.
02:54A chance of freezing rain or snow over upland mid to north Wales initially.
03:00And then as that rain continues on its journey northwards, we'll likewise see a chance of snow over higher parts
03:08of the North Midlands,
03:09northern England, southern Scotland, on Monday night into the start of Tuesday.
03:14Later Tuesday, much of this turns into rain again.
03:17But there is that chance early Tuesday of some disruption from mostly hill snow for northern parts of England, southern
03:25Scotland.
03:26And we'll be keeping you updated on that.
03:27You can find all those updates, of course, on our YouTube channel.
03:30But for now, that's all for me. Bye-bye.
