00:00Hi there. During the last few days, northerly winds have brought unusually cold air to the
00:05UK from the Arctic. Now, that chill is still present across the country as we begin the
00:11day in the south. Temperatures close to freezing but plenty of bright skies. Meanwhile, the
00:17tap has been turned off with that northerly wind turning to south-westerlies across the
00:22northern half of the country. And as a result, cloudier skies are expected through the rest
00:27of the day for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern and central England, parts
00:31of Wales. And there'll be some damp weather around, particularly over higher parts of
00:35central and western Scotland. But also some brightness coming through north-east Scotland,
00:40for example, seeing some decent holes in the cloud. And with that south-westerly wind replacing
00:44the northerly, a marked difference with the temperatures in the north, 18 or 19 Celsius
00:50possible around Moray, Aberdeenshire, for example, Edinburgh. But further south, we'll
00:55also see temperatures of 17 or 18 Celsius, this time with lighter winds and with plenty
01:01of sunny spells through the afternoon. But there will be some additional cloud coming
01:05along. Now, increasingly damp weather is expected across western Scotland and northern Ireland
01:09into the evening. As a weather front moves its way south-eastwards, it's going to slow
01:14down through the night and the rain will be rather persistent at times across central
01:18and southern Scotland and then into northern England later, as well as north Wales. But
01:24it does clear eventually much of Scotland and northern Ireland, clear spells and showers
01:27following here. And we keep the light winds and that relatively cool air in place across
01:33southern parts of the country. So still a fresh start to Sunday, although little by
01:38little these nights are becoming less cold. So typically 8 to 11 Celsius first thing in
01:44the south, double figures further north and milder, certainly, where we've got the cloud
01:49and outbreaks of drizzly rain for northern England, the far south of Scotland, north
01:53Wales first thing Sunday. Now, either side of this front, it effectively slows down and
01:59comes to a stop across central parts of the UK. We've got some hazy sunshine in the south
02:05and south-east. We've also got some sunny spells for Scotland and northern Ireland.
02:08But the air is unstable here. We'll see heavy showers moving through and gusty winds and
02:13certainly a cluster of heavier downpours around the middle part of the day. That will make
02:18it all feel rather cool once again in the far north and north-west. But further south,
02:23a milder day to come, except where it's drizzling and raining across northern England and north
02:28Wales, temperatures of 18 or 19 Celsius in places. Then, big changes heading into next
02:35week. Higher pressure, which hasn't stuck around for any decent period of time, for
02:42some time, will set up home just to the east of the UK and remain there throughout next
02:49week. That means we're going to see drier and sunnier weather arrive from the Indonesia
02:53continent on this easterly breeze and it's going to turn warmer as well as a result of
02:58that. That higher pressure over Scandinavia, keeping Atlantic weather systems at bay and
03:02leading to a relatively prolonged spell of settled weather. We'll keep you updated on
03:08all of that right here on our YouTube channel. Bye-bye.
