00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It was another cold and
00:04frosty start across Scotland and Northern Ireland this morning, but a bit of a change
00:08is on the way across the southern half of the UK. Rain and cloud continue to push in
00:12from the south-west, perhaps turning quite heavy at times across parts of Devon and Cornwall
00:16this afternoon, and continuing to turn to hill snow across parts of Wales, the Midlands
00:20and into northern parts of England through this afternoon. The best of the sunshine definitely
00:24across parts of Scotland, but still feeling cold despite that sunshine. Temperatures
00:27widely in the low single figures, perhaps even staying below freezing across parts
00:31of northern Scotland this afternoon. A much milder end to the day though across the southern
00:35half of the UK as another band of rain pushes up from the south-west overnight tonight and
00:40into the start of Monday. This likely to bring some quite heavy rainfall across parts of
00:44Devon, Cornwall and into parts of south Wales as well, and likely to turn to hill snow across
00:49northern parts of Wales, the Midlands and into northern parts of England through Monday
00:52morning. A drier and colder night again across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland where
00:56we could see a risk of ice, particularly where there's any showers into the start of
00:59Monday. And under those clear skies, another cold night, widely temperatures dropping below
01:04freezing, perhaps as low as minus 5 or minus 6 across parts of Scotland. It'll be a milder
01:09start though across the south-west, particularly under all that cloud and rain. Those rainfall
01:13totals continue to build up through the morning, perhaps bringing some travel disruption during
01:17the morning rush hour. Hill snow continues across parts of Wales and into parts of northern
01:21England as well through the morning, perhaps up to 10cm across the Pennines, but it's another
01:26dry and bright day across Northern Ireland. Western Scotland definitely seeing the best
01:29of the sunshine. Perhaps just a touch milder here, still temperatures in the low single
01:33figures, but a milder day again across the south-west, although with strong winds and
01:37that cloud and rain, definitely not feeling too warm. As we go through Monday evening,
01:42rain, cloud, hill, snow and sleet gradually clears its way south and eastwards through
01:47Monday evening and into the start of Tuesday, leaving Tuesday a little bit drier and brighter
01:52for most of us. Wednesday also looking dry at the moment, but further wet and windy weather
01:57is on the way later this week, but you can find out more about that forecast via our
02:00social media channels. Bye bye.
