Most of the UK will wake up to grey skies, with the cloud thick enough to produce light rain in western Wales and on the Pennines. However, there are a few exceptions to this pattern with early morning sunshine likely to be observed in southern England and in both southwest and northeast Scotland. There is little change to the weather moving into the afternoon apart from the sunny skies turning cloudier. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 14/01/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Alex Burkill.

00:00Hello again, very good morning to you. A bit of a cold frosty start for some of us in the
00:05far south this morning but for many it's actually a very mild start to the day considering it
00:10is the middle of January. In the south there will be a bit of sunshine to be had this morning
00:15but increasing amounts of cloud pushing their way in and so here it is going to turn increasingly
00:20cloudy as we go through the afternoon. Across some parts further north there will be some
00:24glimmers of sunshine, eastern parts of Northern Ireland, maybe down the eastern side of Scotland
00:28and northeast England. Some breaks in the cloud as well, otherwise a fair bit of cloud
00:33on offer today. And with that there will be some drizzly rain around, most of us staying
00:37largely dry but across some parts of Wales, central and northern England I am expecting
00:41some outbreaks of drizzle so a bit of a damp story here. Temperatures in the north look
00:46like they'll be a touchdown compared to yesterday, only by a degree or so, so still above average
00:51for the time of year. Further south it's likely to be a touch milder but only around average
00:56for this stage in January. As we go through this evening and overnight we will see the
01:01winds towards the northwest strengthening, there could be some outbreaks of rain pushing
01:05their way in here, otherwise largely dry but still the cloud thick enough for some damp
01:09weather, some drizzly rain here and there, most places though like I said staying dry.
01:15Some clear skies towards the southwest, perhaps most places towards the south though, a cloudier
01:20night than last night and with that then not as chilly, nonetheless a touch of frost possible
01:25in the far southwest and here we may also get a few pockets of fog developing as well.
01:31Otherwise it's a mild start again for many of us as we go through tomorrow morning, quite
01:35a cloudy one though, however there will be a bit more sunshine on offer as we go into
01:39the afternoon, initially across northern Ireland but then across Scotland, northern and western
01:43England and Wales we'll see sunnier skies developing, however across central southeastern
01:48parts here it is going to stay pretty grey, pretty cloudy through much of the day. Largely
01:52dry though, however towards the far northwest there's a frontal system that's toppling
01:56its way in, so across the far northwest of Scotland here it is going to turn wet and
02:01quite windy with that as well. Temperatures, well a little bit above average for the time
02:05of year across the north, highs well and truly into double figures for some places, meanwhile
02:10further south, single digits generally, some places just about scraping to around 10 or
02:1511 Celsius, so near normal for this stage in the year.
02:19As we look further ahead as we go towards the end of the week and much of the country
02:23will still be under the influence of high pressure, so a lot of settled weather still
02:26to come, but we have some fronts trying to make their way in, bringing some wetter, windier
02:32weather to northwestern areas. Later on as we go into the weekend, with this high drifting
02:37away towards the east a little bit, we may start to see something a little bit colder
02:41making its way back in across southern parts, but for more information about that you'll
02:46want to check out our deep dive which will be with Honour, available on our YouTube channel
02:50later on this afternoon. Bye bye.
