00:00Morning. Welcome to a very mild weekend. Don't expect huge amounts of sunshine,
00:05quite cloudy across the UK today, but by this afternoon temperatures up widely to
00:1012 to 13, 14 degrees Celsius and where we do see a bit of sunshine, well
00:14temperatures could be a degree or so higher. Why so mild? Well, look at where
00:18the winds are coming from. Up from the south, wafting up that milder air. The
00:22wind's still quite gusty in places, particularly around western coasts and
00:26will strengthen further tonight across the northwest of Scotland. But back to
00:30the rest of Saturday and, as I said, a lot of cloud around. With the winds coming up
00:33from the south, it's to the north and east of hills where we'll see some
00:37breaks in the clouds in parts of northeast Wales. Northwest England may
00:40see some sunshine. To the east of the Pennines we should see a bit of blue sky
00:43at times and also northeastern parts of Scotland. It may well brighten up at
00:47times across the south, but generally expect cloudy skies. Not a huge amount of
00:52rain either. A few showers here and there, particularly where we've got the
00:54thickest cloud across the west and we'll see some showery rain at times
00:57crossing Scotland. It will still be quite breezy, but as we go through the night
01:02those winds are going to strengthen further. You can see the swirl here.
01:05That's an area of low pressure getting very blustery once more across the
01:08western isles of Scotland, generally along the west coast. The zones of rain
01:12will move in as we go through the night as well. With all that cloud around, the
01:15mild air in place, temperatures are not going to drop very far. Double digits as
01:21we start Sunday, which is of course the start of meteorological winter.
01:25Temperatures are more akin to a spring day though, however. So yes, a mild start,
01:30but it will be a wet start. Outbreaks of rain crossing Wales, western England,
01:33southern Scotland. That'll tend to fizzle out as it works its way eastwards, so no
01:37more than a few showers across eastern parts of England. Then something brighter
01:41before another band of showery rain coming in also. So yeah, a bit more rain
01:45around tomorrow compared to today, but again it's unlikely to rain all day and
01:50we'll see some brighter spells coming through. Still got the winds mostly
01:54bringing that warmer air up, perhaps temperatures a degree or so down, but
01:57with a bit of brightness we'll still likely see those temperatures climbing
02:00into the teens. So still very mild for the first day of December. Notice however
02:05the winds just starting to come down from the north across the far north and
02:09that is a sign of a change. This rain across the southeast on Sunday evening
02:14from a weather front that is going to continue to drift away, but low pressure
02:18heading up towards the far northeast and behind that the winds are coming
02:24down from the north. That's where the cold air is and that will push its way
02:27southwards as we go through Sunday night and into Monday. So after a very mild
02:31weekend the colder air will return. It could be a bit of an icy start on Monday
02:36morning across parts of northern Scotland. So do keep up to date with the
02:40forecast as we go through this weekend. Best way to do that of course is to
02:43follow us on social media, but also if you're watching this on YouTube don't
