00:00Hello, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It was a cold and frosty

00:04start for many of us this morning, with some wintry showers along some western coasts into

00:08this afternoon. These brought about by those occlusion features across parts of western

00:12Scotland, north-west England, into Wales and south-west England too, but low pressure on

00:17the way out towards the south-west through the rest of the weekend and into the start

00:20of next week. Back to the here and now though, and those showers across western parts bringing

00:25some quite heavy snowfall to parts of north-west England, with some travel disruption through

00:29this afternoon and into this evening, likely. Further showers pushing in from the west,

00:34turning to snow across parts of Wales and north-west England as well, with perhaps up

00:37to 10cm of snow across the Pennines through Sunday morning. Another cold night for most

00:42of us, turning icy across parts of central England and parts of Wales as well, but perhaps

00:47as low as minus 8 to minus 10 across parts of Scotland. A much milder start across the

00:52south-west of England though, with plenty of cloud and showers around, those showers

00:55pushing up from the south-west as we go through Sunday morning. These are likely to turn quite

01:00heavy at times, particularly across the south-west parts of Wales as well, and will continue

01:04to fall as snow across any high ground. Scotland definitely seeing the best of the sunshine

01:09through Sunday though, but definitely feeling cold despite that sunshine. Some places definitely

01:14staying below zero, but perhaps around the low single figures for most of us. A much

01:18milder day across the south-west though, 8 to 10 degrees, but some strong winds coming

01:22up from the south-west just taking a notch off those temperatures. As we go through Sunday

01:27evening, further rain pushes up from the south-west, turning quite heavy across southern parts of

01:32England into south Wales as well into the start of Monday morning. Likely to bring some

01:37hill snow again to parts of Wales and into north-west England as well through Monday

01:40morning, where there could be some travel disruption during the morning rush hour. Another

01:45dry and clear night across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland as well, so another

01:48chilly night here, perhaps some mist and freezing fog around, and temperatures down to minus

01:52five or minus six across parts of Scotland. That rain, sleet and hill snow across the

01:58southern half of the UK gradually clears its way south and eastwards through Monday, with

02:02the best of the sunshine and the driest weather across the north. Despite a milder start to

02:07the week across the southern half of the UK, the cold weather returns on Tuesday and Wednesday,

02:11but you can find out more about that on our social media channels and check out our YouTube
