00:00Hello, Tuesday is a bright but chilly day for many of us. Brisk

00:04winds bringing in wintry showers across the north and the

00:07west in particular. Looking at the next few days, it stays

00:11around average if not below average in terms of

00:14temperature. So, feeling quite cold this week compared to the

00:17record-breaking mild weather we saw at the beginning of the new

00:20year. Through Monday evening, we'll see a band of rain, sleet

00:23and hill snow push its way southwards across the UK,

00:26reaching the Midlands by the early hours. Behind this clearer

00:29skies, colder air moving in with frequent heavy showers

00:33being blown in across Scotland on a strong northerly wind.

00:37Patchy frost developing and widespread ice across Scotland

00:41but mild across much of England and Wales where we remain damp

00:45and cloudy. Here, temperatures falling to around 225 Celsius

00:49falling down to freezing across the northern half of the UK

00:52under those clearer skies below freezing across the glens of

00:56Scotland in particular. So, a cold icy windy start to Tuesday

01:01morning across the north of Scotland in particular. Snow

01:05showers filtering their way southwards through the day

01:08across the country. Wintry across parts of Wales, southwest

01:11England as well but plenty of blue skies developing elsewhere.

01:15Early rain slowly pushing away from the southeast though

01:17staying quite cloudy here. The best of the sunshine across

01:20parts of the east Midlands, eastern England. Elsewhere

01:23generally seeing a scattering of showers and staying very

01:26windy. In fact, winds could reach 60 to 70 possibly locally

01:2980 miles an hour across the north of Scotland. This

01:32combined with heavy snowfall will lead to some drifting in

01:35places and blizzards too. 10 to 15 centimeters is possible

01:39over the higher ground. A cold feeling day. Temperatures

01:42really struggling. Feeling more like freezing for many of us.

01:45A big contrast compared to the beginning of the year. Through

01:50Tuesday evening, we'll continue to see wintry showers feeding

01:53into the north and the west. It stays windy across northeast

01:57Scotland too. So here, blizzards in places. Clearer skies

02:01elsewhere will allow temperatures to zip away quite

02:03quickly. Next few days, it stays changeable. We will see

02:07some rain, sleet, and snow at times. Some sunshine too and

02:09generally feeling cool. More information on this can be
