In England and Wales the day will be cloudy throughout, though mostly dry apart from a few spells of rain along the coast of Southern England. In Scotland and Northern Ireland it is a different story where the day starts of frosty with widespread patches of fog and then becomes sunny in many areas, but not in the areas shrouded by dense fog where it will remain particularly cold all day. - This is the Met Office Weather forecast for the morning 11/12/2024.

00:00Morning. Welcome to the latest weather update.
00:02And if you're watching this on YouTube,

00:06The weather today is pretty similar to yesterday's weather,
00:09starting very cold and frosty across Scotland
00:11and Northern Ireland, and some dense patches of fog here,
00:14which are going to linger all day.
00:16It's dry for the majority, but we do have a few showers just
00:18dribbling in on the northeasterly breeze
00:21across the southeast, and a few more of them
00:23just moving along the south coast of England
00:24through the day today.
00:26So you may get caught out by a shower here.
00:28Bit of wet weather across Shetland as well.
00:30That'll slowly peter out through this afternoon.
00:33Again, nothing too heavy, just a bit damp and drizzly.
00:35For the vast majority, it is dry.
00:37For most of England and Wales, it's just cloudy and dry.
00:40The wind's a little lighter than yesterday.
00:42Light winds across Scotland, plenty of sunshine here.
00:45And for Northern Ireland, as long as you haven't got
00:48that fog, because that fog is thick in places this morning,
00:52very dense.
00:53Be aware of that if you are heading out on the roads.
00:55And it's so thick, it may last all day.
00:57And if it does, if you're stuck in fog all day,
00:59temperatures are not going to get above freezing.
01:01These will be the top values, even where we see some sunshine,
01:04only four or five Celsius.
01:05England and Wales, technically a little milder,
01:08sixes and sevens, but it'll still feel pretty chilly,
01:12I suspect, due to the fairly thick blanket of cloud,
01:15particularly with this breeze continuing
01:16along the south coast.
01:18That'll slowly ease further overnight.
01:21The fog is likely to thicken up again pretty quickly
01:24this evening, particularly across southwest Scotland,
01:27but again, parts of Northern Ireland.
01:28The rain edging away from Shetland, however,
01:31so again, for the vast majority, it's a dry night.
01:33But through the early hours, thickening cloud
01:36over eastern parts is likely to bring some rain
01:39and drizzle back in here.
01:40Temperatures, again, with the cloud holding up
01:42above freezing, where it's clear,
01:44well below freezing across Scotland.
01:47Minus three, minus four, that's towns and cities.
01:49Some sheltered glens much, much lower than that.
01:51So again, a fairly hard frost.
01:53And again, some fog around, which will again,
01:57in parts of southwest Scotland, last for most of the day.
01:59But again, much of Scotland away from the fog
02:01will be dry and sunny.
02:02Perhaps a bit cloudier for Northern Ireland.
02:04Thicker cloud for England and Wales.
02:06That cloud is going to be, at times,
02:08producing rain and drizzle.
02:09So a dank, dreary, pretty dismal kind of day
02:12for quite a good chunk of England.
02:15Some of that rain and drizzle into parts of Wales
02:17at times too.
02:17Much of the south, I suspect, will be dry,
02:19but still gloomy and still cold.
02:21Even the temperatures a degree or so higher maybe
02:23with that thicker cloud.
02:25Not feeling very pleasant at all.
02:27And even with some sunshine across Scotland,
02:28low single digits at best.
02:31And again, if that fog sticks,
02:33we're not going to get much above freezing.
02:35So not much happening over the next couple of days.
02:37We will see a bit more of a change
02:39as we head towards the weekend.
