00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. We're seeing quieter weather

00:03across the UK today than on Saturday, more on the way of sunshine around and lighter

00:06winds too. But things will be turning more unsettled again during the week ahead. A little

00:10ridge of high pressure today moving off the scene, then a low pressure coming back in

00:13from the south-west and this low pressure system will then dominate things through Monday

00:18into the start of the coming working week.

00:20So back to detail now for the rest of today. I'd say more on the way of sunshine around,

00:23still a few showers feeding down from the north and north-west. Those are a little bit

00:27wintry in nature across some higher ground in Scotland and notice rain discovering out

00:31across the far west of the UK there by the very end of the afternoon. In the sunshine

00:35though with lighter winds, it should generally feel more pleasant out and about. Then on

00:38Saturday, temperatures climbing to around about 12 or 13 Celsius down towards the south-east,

00:42that's the mid-50s in Fahrenheit, a little bit cooler at 8 to 11 degrees towards the

00:47north of the UK.

00:48As we go into the evening and during the overnight period, it will stay fine across many northern

00:53and eastern areas, any showers tending to fade, there will be lots of clear weather

00:56around. Turning chilly here though with a touch of frost by Monday morning. We're out

01:00towards the west and south-west, rain is gathering so it will start to turn wet and windy across

01:04northern islands, parts of Wales and the south-west of England by Monday morning. Albeit here

01:08accompanied by a rise in temperature, with temperatures by the morning 6 Celsius in Belfast,

01:137 down in Plymouth there. But notice as I say, towards the north and east, it will be

01:17quite chilly with a touch of frost in places.

01:20Into Monday then, we'll see a bit of an east-west split in our weather. Many northern and eastern

01:23areas certainly starting fine with some sunshine around. A few wintry showers towards the far

01:28north-east and rain gathering out towards the west and south-west, turning very heavy

01:32across the south-west of England and starting to turn to snow as it meets colder air across

01:36parts of Scotland, particularly above about 200 or 300 metres, particularly there during

01:40the afternoon and evening, with some heavy snow falling here overnight and some heavy

01:43rain developing at lower levels too.

01:46In the sunshine towards the south-east, we see highs of 12 Celsius, that's 54 in Fahrenheit,

01:51so close to the seasonal average, with towards the north and east feeling colder, especially

01:55in that rain, no better than 5 or 6 Celsius here.

01:59That's pretty much it for me, but of course you can keep tuned to The Met Office Forecast
