00:00Hello, I hope for those celebrating, you are having a lovely Christmas day.

00:04It's been a rather wet morning across the UK, with showers feeding in on fresh southwesterly

00:09winds.

00:10Some more persistent rain has been affecting south-east England, and this will continue

00:14into this afternoon, with that rain across south-east England slowly clearing away, and

00:18a mixture of sunshine and showers continuing across northern and western parts of the UK.

00:23Showers will start to become wintry across the high ground of Scotland, and winds here

00:27will turn north-westerly, bringing in some colder air.

00:31Away from north-west Scotland, though, it will be a mild day, with highs of 11-12.

00:36Zooming out to look at the big picture, through this afternoon and evening, a cold front will

00:40sweep south-eastwards, marking a temporary change to cooler conditions as we head into

00:45Boxing Day.

00:47Ahead of this, though, showers will continue across England and Wales, though there will

00:50be some clear spells too.

00:52As that cold front pushes south-eastwards, behind this we'll see blustery showers,

00:57and these will turn increasingly wintry across Northern Ireland, Scotland and the far north

01:01of England.

01:02It will be a cold night behind that cold front, with a widespread frost for much of the northern

01:06parts of the UK, though a patchy frost for Wales and central parts of England.

01:11After a cold start, it'll be quite a windy Boxing Day for many, especially in the far

01:15north, where we'll see gusts of 55-60mph for the Northern Isles.

01:19Elsewhere, showers will continue for the northern western parts of the UK that were drier and

01:23brighter day in the south-east, feeling colder though for all, especially in that wind, with

01:28highs of 8-10.
