00:00Hello there. It's been a weekend of mixed fortunes across the UK. Showers and longer
00:05spells of rain kept some of us inside, looking through windows that were rather wet in nature.
00:11But for others, it has actually stayed relatively dry, even if there has been a fair amount
00:16of cloud around. Quite a nice shot here from Kanti Amma in Northern Ireland. We'll retain
00:22this slightly mixed set up as we start off the new working week as well, because low
00:26pressure will still be in charge for Monday, but it is gradually shifting its way eastwards
00:31and that's allowing a feed of colder air to feed in from the Arctic, which we've already
00:36seen across Scotland, but it will be pushing its way now across the rest of the UK into
00:40Monday as well. For Sunday evening, at least, that colder air is going to allow for some
00:46snow over the higher ground, but increasingly to lower levels of Northern Scotland. The
00:50rain across the southeast will clear its way off from the showers also fading for England
00:54and Wales, but more rain pushing into Northern Ireland for the second half of the night.
00:59Some clearer spells in places and that will allow temperatures to just drop off ever so
01:03slightly in Apache. Frost is possible, particularly for areas of central Scotland, but otherwise
01:09most towns and cities holding up around four to six degrees Celsius. This rain then across
01:15Northern Ireland will provide a quite damp start to the new working week, and it's then
01:18going to push its way into Wales and central southern areas of England. Could be quite
01:23heavy at times, maybe with the odd rumble of thunder in the mixture as well, and generally
01:27the southern half of the UK will turn quite cloudy. Some sunnier spells developing for
01:32the northern half in between those scattered showers. They'll be most frequent across the
01:37north and the east, where they could still be wintry at times as they push into those
01:41coastal areas. Feeling rather cold for all of us. Temperatures a good number of degrees
01:47below average compared to where we would expect them at this time of the year, but it's going
01:52to be particularly cold along some eastern and northern coastal areas where we're going
01:56to see quite a blustery wind throughout the day. And when you're exposed to that, feels
02:00like temperatures will be low. Single figures across north east England, but closer to freezing
02:05across parts of north east Scotland. So really quite bitter if you are outside here. Otherwise,
02:12as we head throughout the rest of Monday, we'll see that rain gradually push its way
02:16southwards. So quite a damp end for London. Sorry, interviews, Kent and Sussex, but widespread
02:22clear skies developing after that and turning dry for many of us. But underneath those clear
02:28skies, temperatures are really going to plummet on Monday night. Much more of a widespread
02:32frost possible across Scotland, northern England, even into Wales and Northern Ireland as well.
02:38So if you do have any tender plants outside at the moment, it could be worth just bringing
02:43them inside for Monday night at least. Through Tuesday, we are seeing things settle down
02:50a bit more, and that's thanks to a ridge of high pressure that is building its way
02:53in and keeping these weather fronts at bay. So despite the very cold start, there's actually
02:58going to be a good amount of sunshine throughout the day. Still, some showers filtering their
03:03way in across northern areas of Scotland and they'll still be wintry at times. The cloud
03:07will bubble up in places as well, but winds will ease off across eastern areas and hopefully
03:13with those lighter winds and the sunshine in place, it will at least feel just like
03:17that slightly more better day compared to Monday. Temperatures are still going to be
03:22well below average for the time of year, only highs of nine to 12 degrees Celsius. That
03:30dry weather isn't going to last throughout the rest of the week, though we do have to
03:33watch for this rain that wants to start pushing its way in from the southwest towards the
03:38middle point of the week. But we'll keep you up to date with all of that as we head throughout
03:43the forthcoming few days. And of course, you can follow all of our updates on social
03:47media and we're back here on YouTube. So make sure to subscribe or if you're watching on
