00:00Good morning, there's a lot of cloud in the forecast today and it's also feeling quite
00:04cold. In fact, temperatures are a good few degrees below where they should be for this
00:08time of year. Now the reason for that is courtesy of this area of high pressure to the north
00:13and east and that is really keeping those winds pushing in from the east. But we also
00:18have low pressure across the southern North Sea and that is bringing a fair amount of
00:23cloud and some of that cloud is thick enough to produce a few outbreaks of mostly sort
00:27of light rain and drizzle down this eastern seaboard of the country. Although with those
00:33colder conditions, some of that is also falling. It's a bit of a wintry mix, chiefly across
00:37the tops of the Pennines and the North York Moors during the course of this afternoon.
00:41Elsewhere, good to the dry weather but cloudy. A few breaks across the north and west of
00:47Scotland and it's here that we're going to see some of our highest temperatures today,
00:51perhaps reaching highs of seven or eight degrees. But for areas under all that cloud, temperatures
00:57really disappointing and add in the strength of this easterly wind and you could take a
01:02good few degrees off of these values. So as we move our way into the evening, remaining
01:07cloudy for many of us, we're still seeing a fair few showers and outbreaks of rain packing
01:13in across this eastern fringe of the country. But elsewhere across the west, a few clearer
01:18skies developing and where we see those clearer spells, overnight temperatures will actually
01:23dip away. And under those clear swells, temperatures low enough for a touch of frost. But elsewhere
01:29on all this cloud, temperatures remaining generally above zero. So into tomorrow morning
01:36and we see some band of thicker cloud and rain moving in across Devon and Cornwall.
01:40But it's pushing up against this area of high pressure to the north and east and it's not
01:43really going anywhere. Ahead of it, a generally cloudy day with a few brighter spells in the
01:49mix. And we're still seeing a few showers across the north and the east of the country.
01:54And in terms of temperatures, it's another disappointingly chilly day. Temperatures up
01:58just a little on today's values with highs of six or seven, but still going to feel pretty
02:04chilly, especially across the north when you add in the strength for that wind. And as
02:09we move our way through to the rest of the week, very little changes. High pressure is
02:13acting like a force field, helping to keep the Atlantic fronts well to the south and
02:18west. Although we do see one starting to move up across the south and west towards Friday.
02:23And that does introduce the chance of a few wintry flurries across the moors of the south
02:29and west by the course of the weekend. Thanks for watching. And that's your forecast. Bye
02:35for now.
