00:00Hello again and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:04Into Wednesday and we see further heavy rain moving northwards across most parts of the

00:07country but skies will brighten for many of us through the afternoon. It stays windy though

00:12and it will turn increasingly very mild particularly in the south. It's this area of low pressure

00:16that's responsible for the wet and windy weather on Wednesday but the isobars stay

00:20quite tightly packed together on Thursday and Friday as well so it stays quite windy

00:24and there'll be further weather fronts bringing some rain at times although it turns exceptionally

00:29mild for all of us particularly by the new year. Back to Tuesday evening though and whilst

00:34there's a lot of cloud around out there for most of us there are some clear spells particularly

00:38across northern Scotland and it's here that we'll see temperatures plummet well below

00:42freezing with some freezing fog patches developing in the glens. Further southwest though skies

00:47will cloud over later in the night and we'll start to see some rain pushing up from the

00:51southwest some pretty heavy bursts mixed in there as well by the end of the night. That

00:56rain band continues to track its way northeastwards across the country through Wednesday morning

01:00the rain always heaviest and most persistent across more northern and northwestern parts

01:04and falling as snow temporarily across the tops of the Scottish mountains. Behind that

01:09skies brightening for many parts of Northern Ireland, England and Wales through the afternoon

01:13with some sunny spells. It stays windy though with coastal gales in the west but temperatures

01:18will respond with highs of 13 to 15 degrees with that mild southwesterly air well above

01:24average for the time of year. Through Wednesday evening and it stays quite wet across the

01:29far north of Scotland. Some damp weather also returning to parts of southwest England and

01:33south Wales but elsewhere generally staying mostly dry. It stays exceptionally mild through

01:39Thursday and Friday and into the new year with temperatures well above average for the

01:43time of year. Some rain at times and also quite windy particularly in the north and

01:47west. For further details though please make sure you follow us on our social media channels.

01:52Bye for now.
