00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office. Cloudier skies across

00:06the U.K. as we move through the next 24 hours compared to the sunshine we saw on Saturday.

00:11Low pressure dominating the weather pattern at the moment, briefly less cold in the south,

00:16but colder air quickly returns as we move through the week ahead. And then it's towards

00:20the middle of the week, this area of low pressure bumps into that colder air. We could see the

00:25risk of some rain turning to snow, particularly over the higher ground of central northern

00:29parts of the U.K. The details of this still a little uncertain, so stay tuned to the forecast

00:35over the coming days. Back to Sunday afternoon, the best of the blue skies holding on there

00:41for central and northern parts of Scotland. No weak weather front pushing south across

00:45Shetland and Orkney. Sunshine turning increasingly hazy, if not grey skies, by the afternoon

00:51across eastern England and then definitely grey skies across the west. Outbreaks of rain

00:56for many here, one or two heavier bursts possible. The wind's just picking up a little

01:00towards the west country around the coast too, but this importing some mild air, 10

01:05to 12 Celsius here. Under the cloud, in the sunshine as well, further north and east,

01:11temperatures struggling 3 to 5 degrees as that cold air holds on. As we move through

01:16the afternoon into the evening time, this band of rain slowly pushes eastwards across

01:21much of England, Wales, Northern Ireland. Showery conditions across Scotland under clear

01:25spells. We could still see a patchy frost developing and the showers turning wintry

01:30over the higher ground, so we could see some icy stretches developing during the early

01:34hours for Scotland. But elsewhere, generally a lot of cloud around. This will keep temperatures

01:39up, so a milder night compared to of late and generally frost-free for England, Wales

01:44and much of Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain, still temperatures 3 to 8 Celsius, temperatures

01:50dipping below freezing for the glen of Scotland. So an icy start here, some wintry showers

01:55elsewhere, generally quite grey. Showery outbreaks of rain, this slowly pushing south

01:59eastwards as that low pressure moves out the way, allowing brighter skies to develop across

02:04parts of Northern Ireland, western Scotland and then later western fringes of England

02:08and Wales. Some showers developing here. The east staying on the cloudy side generally,

02:12the winds coming in off the North Sea, making it feel quite cold. Plenty of showers too,

02:17some of these on the heavy side at times. And temperatures, well actually double figures

02:22initially in the south, but colder air filtering south quite quickly. So by the afternoon,

02:27many places in single figures, a cold feeling day, 6 to 9 Celsius at the very best. Then

02:34looking ahead through the evening and overnight, we continue to see showers down the eastern

02:38side of the UK. Again, some icy stretches developing across Scotland as temperatures

02:42fall below freezing. Western areas where winds fall light, we could see some frost developing

02:48and later on as well across northern England, southern Scotland in particular. Generally

02:52enough cloud to keep it frost free in the east. As we move through the week ahead, it

02:57generally stays cold. We'll see some overnight frost and fog as well and an increasing risk

03:02of some rain and hill snow moving in, particularly Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. So stay tuned
