00:00Hi there. High pressure continues to dominate the UK's weather but it's a different flavour
00:04of high pressure compared with last week. Less extensive low cloud but more frost and
00:09fog by night. We certainly saw a frosty and foggy start to the day for many places under
00:15this area of higher pressure. That is apart from the far south east where actually it's
00:20been breezier and that breeze coming from the North Sea continues to bring areas of
00:25showers into Kent in particular but also coastal parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex.
00:30One or two showers possible elsewhere across eastern and central England with an area of
00:35patchy cloud. Further north and west sunnier skies apart from those places where fog will
00:42be slow to clear in one or two spots could last all day. Northern Ireland, central Scotland,
00:46it's going to stay cold where that happens. But a change is on the way for the northwest
00:51of Scotland. We've got a weakening weather front sinking south and that's going to bring
00:56thickening cloud and some drizzle in overnight. Of course with that blanket of cloud arriving
01:01we're not going to see frost or fog in the northwest. It's going to be a much milder
01:04night. Likewise the far south east cloudier with some showers and a breeze. But in between
01:11that's where it will be coldest with again frost and fog patches by dawn. Southern Scotland,
01:17parts of Northern Ireland, northern England into the Midlands and Wales most prone to those
01:22fog patches. Again persisting into the afternoon in one or two spots and staying cold where that
01:27happens. But areas of cloud sink south across northern parts of the UK with some patchy drizzle
01:32for western Scotland and northern Ireland. A milder day for the west and north of Scotland
01:37as that happens. And we'll see fewer showers towards the southeast as the winds change
01:42as well. So a bright enough day for many but we will see this ingress of cloud across the north
01:48and west of the UK. Of course with cloudier skies on Wednesday night for many places we'll see less
01:54frost and fog and that continues into Thursday and Friday. But Friday a more marked change is
02:01on the way with a cold front sinking south and eventually that brings these blue colours,
02:07winds from the Arctic. And so a much colder feel not only by night but also by day with
02:14the potential for some wintry weather especially over northern hills by the start of next week.
