00:00Hello, welcome to your weather update from the Metro West. As we go through the rest

00:04of Sunday, for most it's going to be a mild day, especially compared to the week just

00:08gone. There will be some bright spells also, especially across eastern England, eastern

00:13parts of Scotland for a time, but elsewhere a fair bit of cloud around with some rain

00:17across Scotland and Northern Ireland and that rain may well turn to sleet and snow across

00:21the high ground of Scotland. And then later on in the afternoon, this next band of rain

00:26then arrives into South Wales and Devon and Cornwall and that rain could potentially be

00:29quite heavy in places. But ahead of this, in any brightness, we could see highs reaching

00:3414 or 15 degrees. Into this evening, this band of rain will work its way northwards.

00:40It will be accompanied by some brisk winds across the south and actually by the end of

00:43the night it could turn quite windy here for a time, risk of coastal gales across the south-western

00:48parts of the country. And then as that rain bumps up into the colder air across the far

00:52north of the UK, we could start to see some sleet and snow. But for most, it is a mild

00:58night. Especially in the south, temperatures falling not much lower than 10 or 11 degrees.

01:02But across the very far north of Scotland here, again, a risk of a frost with maybe

01:07also a few icy patches as we start Monday morning. But for most, we do start off the

01:13week on a mild note. But only briefly, the cold air across the north does sink its way

01:17southwards as we go through Monday and Tuesday. And then middle of the week, the mild air

01:21does return across the country. But as it does so, we could again see the risk of some

01:26further sleet and snow. And by the end of the week, most of us should be in the milder

01:31air. But as you can see, plenty of rain also to come as we go through the course of this

01:36week. So, a fairly unsettled one, I think, for most of us.

01:39So, for Monday, as I said, we start off on a fairly mild note, especially across the

01:43south. Still quite blustery, risk of some outbreaks of rain, especially across northern

01:47England into Wales and south-western parts of the country. But to the north, the rain

01:52turning increasingly to sleet and snow across Scotland and then eventually across Northern

01:57Ireland and parts of northern England too. Chiefly across the high ground, but at times

02:02also across lower levels. So, there is a risk of disruption as we go through Monday. So,

02:07warnings are in force across this part of the world. So, do take that into account if

02:11you have got any travel plans on Monday. But as I said, to the south of it, a mild day.

02:17Could see highs reaching 14 or 15 degrees, but that will be tempered somewhat by this

02:21fairly brisk wind. And then going into Tuesday, the cold air

02:26will have moved right across the country. So, a cold day for all of us, risk of some

02:30wintry showers almost anywhere across the UK, but chiefly across the northern half of

02:35the country. Temperatures at best reaching about 8 degrees in the south, but again, that

02:40will be tempered somewhat by a fairly brisk northerly wind. So, warnings are in force,

02:45as I mentioned, across the northern half of the country as we go through Monday. We could

02:49potentially see further warnings as we go through the course of the week. So, you can

02:52always keep up to date with the latest warnings on our website. You can follow us on social
