00:00Hello there, very good morning to you if you're planning on stepping outside for a Boxing
00:04Day walk today to work off some of that Christmas food. For some of you at least, I can promise
00:09dry conditions. That's if you're in the south, where we've got high pressure spreading in
00:13from continental Europe to keep things mostly dry and fine. But in the north, this cold
00:17front has moved its way in and that is providing outbreaks of rain and drizzle across areas
00:22of Scotland and Northern Ireland. This rain band will gradually push its way northwards
00:27during the day, so hopefully it should turn drier for Northern Ireland into the afternoon.
00:31But for Scotland, it's going to be rather grey, dreary and dull, unfortunately. The
00:36best chances of sunshine for parts of eastern England, maybe northeastern Wales as well.
00:40But if you're to the south of this rain band, it is going to be another relatively mild
00:43day, temperatures of 10 to 11 degrees Celsius. But to the north of the rain, we're seeing
00:48some slightly cooler conditions move their way in, so 7, 8 degrees as your highs here.
00:55The rain band is going to be quite slow moving this evening and overnight, so particularly
00:59for parts of the Highlands into the Western Isles, also parts of Auckland later on as
01:04well, continuing to see those outbreaks of rain. A few spots of drizzle are possible
01:08further towards the south, but it will generally be a drier night to come here. Some fog patches
01:12around in places to watch out for as well. Underneath all the cloud, it's not going to
01:17be too chilly of a night. Temperatures generally around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, perhaps closer
01:22towards 3 or 4 in northern Scotland, but certainly for all of us, it should be frost
01:27free till we kick off Friday morning. Generally on Friday, it is a very similar picture for
01:33us all. The rain band in the north will have eased off a touch, so generally lighter and
01:38patchier in nature. A few drier spells in there to get out and about in. Again, quite
01:43cloudy for Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Some drizzle possible around coasts or over
01:48the mountains and hills. With the lack of sunshine though, our temperatures are going
01:53to take a slight dip down on Friday, now a bit closer towards average for the time of
01:58year, 8 or 9 degrees Celsius, perhaps just climbing into double digit still for parts
02:03of Northern Ireland and into the central belt of Scotland. Any signs of a change from this
02:09relatively similar pattern? Well, into the weekend, this band of rain in the north that's
02:14associated with the frontal systems will gradually spread its way towards the southeast
02:20and behind that, we will start to see that introduction of some cooler but also clearer
02:25conditions. So on Saturday, the rain looks like it will transfer over towards the south,
02:29whereas behind it, we'll see some sunnier spells developing and hopefully that sunshine
02:34will arrive across more southeastern areas as we head into Sunday. But we'll have plenty
02:39more updates on what you can expect this weekend, so do stay up to date with things. Otherwise,
02:43I hope you have a lovely Boxing Day. Bye-bye.
