00:00Hello, good afternoon, and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:03It's a pretty cloudy end to the weekend across the UK and quite a chilly one too. That's all

00:08down to high pressure being centred to the north, low pressure down towards the south,

00:11generating that fairly brisk easterly airstream. Notice the fairly tightly packed ice bars there

00:15indicating just how breezy it will be. And that easterly breeze is also feeding some showers in

00:20across the north of England. Eastern parts of Scotland also seeing a few hefty showers this

00:24afternoon. One or two on the wintry side across the highest ground, whereas out towards the west

00:28it's generally drier and also brighter, particularly towards the west of Scotland.

00:32Despite the sunshine though, temperatures are struggling, no better than 5 to 7 degrees.

00:36Add on the effect of that easterly wind and it's going to feel more like one or two degrees out

00:40and about. So certainly a pretty chilly afternoon and you'll need to wrap up warm if you are heading

00:44out and about. Looking at things then as we go into the evening and during the overnight period,

00:48we hold on to cloud and showers across the east and northeast of the UK. Again,

00:52a few heavy ones around here and one or two wintry ones as well across the highest ground.

00:56Out towards the west, fewer showers, the best of the clear spells, particularly across the west

01:00of Scotland once more, and under those clear spells we'll see a touch of frost by the morning

01:03on Monday. Temperatures under the clear slots, down close to freezing, but with the cloud,

01:08showers and the breeze elsewhere, values holding up around about 3 to 5 degrees.

01:13The new working week then gets off to a pretty cloudy start once more. Further showers are

01:16coming across those eastern areas, again one or two on the heavy side. Out towards the west,

01:20fewer showers, although Northern Ireland notice seeing some showers as we go through the day,

01:24but generally on the whole it's the west seeing the best of the sunshine. Again,

01:27western Scotland doing quite well sunshine wise. Temperatures are struggling still for the time

01:32of year, no better than 5 to 8 degrees, although that's a degree or so up on those values on Sunday.

01:37A quick look ahead to the middle part of the coming week and a heads up that we've got even

01:41colder air moving in from the north across the UK. In fact, the Met Office already have

01:45a yellow snow warning in force across the north of Scotland throughout the day on Wednesday.

01:49For more details on that warning and of course to keep abreast of the general weather forecast,
