00:00Hello there. Welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:05It turns increasingly cold through the next few nights.
00:08The wind is still coming in from a very cold place.
00:11You can see here low pressure sits to the west of Scandinavia.
00:14Squeeze on the isobars across the northeast of Scotland where we've seen frequent showers today.
00:19Elsewhere as well.
00:20But notice the source of the air still coming from the Arctic.
00:23Streaming down covering most of the country and with that the chance of showers into Thursday.
00:28The air remains relatively unstable.
00:30But notice towards the west.
00:32This is high pressure extending its influence from the Atlantic.
00:36So we lose the sting in the wind through Thursday into Friday.
00:40We lose the showers as well.
00:41But eventually all change yet again through the weekend as more cloud arrives and also some outbreaks of rain.
00:48Temperatures will though recover slightly.
00:50For the time being a rash of showers continues to affect much of the country.
00:55That wind strong and nagging and cold in the north and northeast.
00:59Clearer skies as those showers fade away inland.
01:02But along the coastline they will continue.
01:05So where we see a lighter breeze particularly inland and those starry skies.
01:10Temperatures really falling very quickly.
01:12So it's going to be a cold night.
01:14Even with a touch of grass frost in the south and in the north some isolated air frost.
01:20And to start the day on Thursday morning showers from the word go.
01:23And it could be wintry with some snow above around 8900 metres.
01:28And like this evening and overnight the chance of some heavier downpours with the risk of hail as well as thunder.
01:35Through the day this cluster moves in from the north channel down towards Wales as well as the west country.
01:40Elsewhere we'll see some sunshine to start the day but showers clipping the east coast.
01:44And then through the morning into the afternoon they will develop inland yet again.
01:49And some will be heavy.
01:50So a mix of clouds and sun through the afternoon.
01:53Some showers.
01:54One or two intense bursts.
01:56The winds not as strong across the far northeast of Scotland.
01:59And a gentle wind elsewhere.
02:02Even so it's a cold wind and temperatures remain below the seasonal norm.
02:06Coming in around 12 to 14, 15 degrees Celsius.
02:10Perhaps a 16 for the home counties as well as the west country.
02:14Now through Thursday evening and overnight yet again those showers lose their potency.
02:19We'll see some drier skies.
02:21Some clearer air.
02:23The winds shift round to more of a westerly across the far north.
02:26So some showers moving in across these parts.
02:28But many areas will be dry.
02:30A few just running down the North Sea.
02:32Just clipping the far southeast possible into the early hours of Friday morning.
02:36But the key feature of the weather through Friday.
02:38First thing the risk of temperatures dipping close to freezing if not below in the countryside.
02:42Just a cold start with a touch of air frost.
02:44But through the morning into the afternoon some lovely sunshine.
02:47A light breeze.
02:48Temperatures slowly recovering.
02:49A thickening cloud will bring some outbreaks of rain to Northern Ireland through Friday.
02:53Eventually towards the northwest of Scotland.
02:56Sinking southwards through Friday and into Saturday.
02:59Cloud ahead of it.
03:00But look at this.
03:01Temperatures will be on the up.
03:02So feeling a bit warmer on Saturday with a lighter wind.
03:05And then the rain straddles the country on Sunday with some showers to follow.
03:10But some brighter skies further south and southeast.
03:12Where temperatures should arrive around 21 degrees Celsius.
03:16And I'll see you later.
