00:00Good morning. If it's warm weather you're after, then it's good news. Temperatures are
00:03set to rise over the next few days and it's all thanks to a southerly breeze starting
00:08to develop. We've had easterly winds over the last few days bringing that chilly weather
00:12from the east, but it's set to change as we see low pressure out towards the southwest
00:17drawing this warm southerly flow as we go into Thursday and Friday. So temperatures
00:21are set to rise to above average nationwide. But it's a very different story out there
00:26this morning. It's very cold and we've got plenty of frost, particularly across more
00:30northern parts of the UK. Those temperatures will rise fairly quickly in that spring sunshine
00:35and it's set to be a pretty glorious day out there for the vast majority of us. A bit more
00:39in the way of patchy and wispy high cloud coming in across England and Wales through
00:43this afternoon. I wouldn't even rule out a very isolated light shower, but the vast majority
00:48of us will have a fine and dry afternoon and temperatures will be higher than they have
00:52been of late. So we'll have lost that chilly easterly breeze, winds will be light and temperatures
00:57of 16 or perhaps even 17 degrees will feel much more pleasant than it has done of late.
01:03And even in the north, temperatures widely in double figures for Scotland and Northern
01:06Ireland too. But because of those clear skies, particularly in the north of the UK through
01:11tonight, temperatures will really fall away very quickly and we will see another widespread
01:16frost developing, particularly in the north of the UK through the course of tonight. Perhaps
01:20even one or two very isolated fog or freezing fog patches in places as well. A bit more
01:26in the way of cloud across the south, and that will just mean that we probably won't
01:29see too much in the way of frost in southern parts of Britain overnight tonight, though
01:33still perhaps the odd patch of frost in the countryside. But certainly in the north, temperatures
01:38down to minus four or minus five quite easily in rural areas once again. So tomorrow gets
01:44off to a fairly cold note once again across more northern parts, but plenty of sunshine
01:48once again for most parts of the UK tomorrow. We are going to see those temperatures quite
01:53quickly rise in that spring sunshine as well. So by the afternoon, we could be seeing highs
01:58in the mid to high teens quite widely. So a much warmer feeling day nationwide, 13 or
02:0414 degrees across the north is well above average. And we might even squeak out a 20
02:09degrees Celsius in parts of England and Wales. So a much warmer day to come. But to find
02:15out whether this warm spell is set to continue on Friday and into the weekend, you'll want
02:19to make sure you're following us on our social media channels. But for now, that's everything
02:23from me. I'll see you again soon.
