00:00Hello, and very good morning to you. A very blustery weekend of weather ahead for this
00:04busy travel weekend before Christmas. And that's all thanks to this area of low pressure
00:09arriving into the early hours of Saturday. A squeeze on those isobars on the southern
00:13flank of that, giving a particularly windy day through Saturday and widely across the
00:17UK through Sunday as well, before that slowly begins to move away and we start to see some
00:21calmer conditions in towards the start of Monday. Back to this morning though. So a
00:26fairly wet start to the day for much of the UK. Got this cold front sinking southeast
00:30and in that cooler air, we do have those winds strengthening. So we have a yellow wind warning
00:35in force through Saturday morning, right the way through the day. And that's for the northern
00:39half of the country, widely expecting to see winds around 50 to 60 miles per hour. Across
00:44the very far north of Scotland, they will be a touch stronger, could see 80 miles per
00:48hour on some exposed coasts. And with that, it could lead to some travel disruptions.
00:51So please do make sure that you plan your travels accordingly. Temperatures are going
00:57to be a bit milder across the south, 11 to 13 degrees, still fairly damp across the very
01:02far southern half of UK, holding on some rain into the afternoon as well. Elsewhere, it's
01:06going to be fairly frequent blustery showers and perhaps a touch of hill snow and temperatures
01:11in the single figures across Scotland through the rest of Saturday. Then it's going to be
01:15holding on to that windy picture, blustery showers moving across the rest of the UK,
01:19rain clearing to the south of England as we head into the early hours of Sunday and
01:24frequent blustery showers covering the rest of the UK. And on Sunday morning, you're going
01:28to be particularly cool and they could see some hill snow for parts of Northern Ireland,
01:33Northern Wales and Northern England and parts of Scotland in the early hours of Sunday.
01:39Temperatures during the morning on Sunday, around two to three degrees across the northern
01:43half of UK, a touch milder across the south. But again, with that wind, not expecting to
01:47see any frost moving through the rest of Sunday, then further blustery showers across
01:53the UK. They do start to ease as we head later on through the morning. And those wintry nature
01:59to those showers do become restricted to Scotland by the time we head in towards the afternoon.
02:03A few brighter spells, but it will be widely windy through the day on Sunday for many places,
02:08expecting to see winds up around 50 to 60 miles per hour. So temperatures generally
02:13around seven to nine degrees across the UK on Sunday. But with that wind, it's not going
02:18to be feeling too pleasant. We've got the wind chill on here and you can see with that
02:23wind temperature is going to be feeling more like zero to two degrees. So certainly a very
02:28chilly feel on Sunday. Winds do begin to ease as we head through Sunday evening, but we
02:34do have some further mild and windy weather on Monday before things turn a little bit
02:38calmer over Christmas. If you want to check out any more on our weather, please do have
