00:00Hello there. Welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office. The sun

00:05may be rising, but temperatures are struggling through this morning. It has been a cold start

00:09to the day. Now, yesterday, severe gales across the north-east of Scotland and some persistent

00:14rain all courtesy of this area of low pressure. And this low, the position of it, continues

00:18to affect our weather through the next few days. It's dumbbelling around low towards

00:23the north, dragging in then this stream of cold air from the Arctic, extending right

00:28the way down the country. And what that means, showers, some sunshine and a cold wind. It

00:33may be mid-September, but we are talking wind chill today. Some sunshine in shelter across

00:38eastern Scotland, north-east England. But look at these showers frequent across the

00:41west there, and they're running in across northern Ireland, north-west England, northern

00:45parts of Wales as well. Now, to the south, yes, it is a chilly start to the day, but

00:50it will be a bright one with some sunshine coming through and a dry morning here as well.

00:56So through the morning, we watch as these showers continue. They'll be frequent and

01:00heavy across northern and western areas, with the risk of hail, the outside chance of thunder.

01:06And over the highest ground of Scotland, 900 metres say, we could see a little bit of snow

01:12as well. The wind will be a feature of the weather throughout the day, particularly exposed

01:17to the north-west wind across more northern and western areas. And the persistent rain

01:21across Shetland will be replaced by showers through the afternoon. Showers will develop

01:26elsewhere as well, so you could see the odd heavier one further south and east through

01:31the day, with a mix of clouds and sun as we enter Wednesday afternoon into evening time.

01:38Let's take a look at these temperatures then. Well, across Scotland and northern Ireland,

01:42coming in around 12 or 13 Celsius. Colder with that wind, feeling colder, should I say,

01:47at the south, 14 to 16 degrees Celsius. So wherever you are, wrap up if you're heading

01:52out and about and watch out for those showers, which will continue through this evening and

01:57overnight. But they'll tend to fade away inland. Frequent, though, across more northern and

02:03western areas. And look at this relentless winds, particularly across the far north and

02:07north-east of Scotland. Inland, though, temperatures plummeting to four or five degrees Celsius.

02:13So that means even for the glens of Scotland, we could see a touch of air frost in one or

02:18two spots. But Thursday dawns bright with some sunshine. Winds won't be as blustery

02:24across inland areas. Showers, particularly along the coastline, they may develop inland,

02:29but there'll be some drier interludes and a mix of clouds and sunshine yet again. Temperatures

02:3314 or 15 in the south. Your outlook then through Friday. One or two light passing showers in

02:38the far north-west. Generally speaking, it's a dry day. A ridge of high pressure is moving

02:42in, so a cold start with a localised frost. But with that, we'll see some sunshine. All

02:47change, though, as we head into the weekend from the north-west. Have a lovely day. I'll

02:52see you again soon.
