00:00Hi there. During the last few days, northerly winds have brought unusually cold air to the

00:05UK from the Arctic. Now, that chill is still present across the country as we begin the

00:11day in the south. Temperatures close to freezing but plenty of bright skies. Meanwhile, the

00:17tap has been turned off with that northerly wind turning to southwesterlies across the

00:22northern half of the country. And as a result, cloudier skies are expected through the rest

00:27of the day for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern and central England, parts

00:31of Wales. And there'll be some damp weather around, particularly over higher parts of

00:35central and western Scotland. But also some brightness coming through north-east Scotland,

00:40for example, seeing some decent holes in the cloud. And with that southwesterly wind replacing

00:44the northerly, a marked difference with the temperatures in the north, 18 or 19 Celsius

00:50possible around Murray, Aberdeenshire, for example, Edinburgh. But further south, we'll

00:55also see temperatures of 17 or 18 Celsius, this time with lighter winds and with plenty

01:01of sunny spells through the afternoon. But there will be some additional cloud coming

01:05along. Now, increasingly damp weather is expected across western Scotland and northern Ireland

01:09into the evening. As a weather front moves its way south-eastwards, it's going to slow

01:14down through the night and the rain will be rather persistent at times across central

01:18and southern Scotland and then into northern England later, as well as north Wales. But

01:24it does clear eventually much of Scotland and northern Ireland, clear spells and showers

01:27following here. And we keep the light winds and that relatively cool air in place across

01:33southern parts of the country. So still a fresh start to Sunday, although little by

01:38little these nights are becoming less cold. So typically 8 to 11 Celsius first thing in

01:44the south, double figures further north and milder certainly where we've got the cloud

01:49and outbreaks of drizzly rain for northern England, the far south of Scotland, north

01:53Wales first thing Sunday. Now, either side of this front, it effectively slows down and

01:59comes to a stop across central parts of the UK. We've got some hazy sunshine in the south

02:05and south-east. We've also got some sunny spells for Scotland and northern Ireland.

02:08But the air is unstable here. We'll see heavy showers moving through and gusty winds and

02:13certainly a cluster of heavier downpours around the middle part of the day. That will make

02:18it all feel rather cool once again in the far north and northwest. But further south,

02:23a milder day to come, except where it's drizzling and raining across northern England and north

02:28Wales, temperatures of 18 or 19 Celsius in places. Then big changes heading into next

02:35week. Higher pressure, which hasn't stuck around for any decent period of time for some

02:42time, will set up home just to the east of the UK and remain there throughout next week.

02:49That means we're going to see drier and sunnier weather arrive from the Indonesia continent

02:53on this easterly breeze and it's going to turn warmer as well as a result of that. That

02:58higher pressure over Scandinavia keeping Atlantic weather systems at bay and leading to a relatively

03:04prolonged spell of settled weather. We'll keep you updated on all of that right here

03:09on our YouTube channel. Bye-bye.
