00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. I'm Marco Pitania. We've got
00:04a cold north to northwesterly air stream across the UK at the moment. In fact, we have weather
00:07warnings enforced across many northern and western spots until 9 o'clock this evening.
00:11Gusts of wind here to 50 to local, even 70 miles an hour, could cause one or two problems
00:15out and about. Lots of showers feeding in from that northwesterly direction too. Could
00:19be a little bit wintry across the hills towards the north and north-west. And wherever you
00:22are, it's quite a chilly feeling day. Temperatures know better on the thermometer at 6 to 9 Celsius,
00:27down towards the south-west, it's 48 in Fahrenheit. But if we add on the effect of that brisk
00:32north to northwesterly air stream there, temperatures feeling closer to freezing, certainly in one
00:37or two rural spots there feeling a little bit below freezing, so quite a chilly afternoon
00:40to come. As we go into the evening and through the overnight period, we hold on to those
00:44brisk winds towards the north and west, certainly for a time, that wind warning is enforced
00:48until 9 o'clock this evening. Then the winds start to ease down overnight, as do the showers,
00:53one or two showers lingering towards the north-east. A little bit wintry on the hills of Scotland
00:57there. The best of the clear spells, the further south and east you go. And wherever
01:00you are, quite a chilly night to come. Could be a touch of frost. Temperatures in towns
01:04and cities generally holding just above freezing, but in some rural spots down close to freezing,
01:08so as I say, a touch of frost by Monday morning. And also one or two icy patches possible towards
01:12the north and north-east. As for Monday itself, well, plenty of sunshine in the morning towards
01:17the south and east of the UK. A bit of cloud moving in from the west there into the afternoon
01:21to make things bright rather than sunny here. Whereas towards the north and west, cloud
01:25thickening from the Atlantic, some outbreaks of rain started to move in across Scotland,
01:28Northern Ireland, many western parts of Wales and the rest of the western parts of the UK
01:33into the afternoon. So the best of the sunshine, as I say, lingering the further south and
01:36east you go. Fairly light winds towards the south and east, turning a bit more breezy
01:40out towards the west as that rain starts to come in. Milder air also starting to work
01:44in across those western areas into the afternoon. Temperatures close to double figures here,
01:48but staying quite chilly out across the east and south-east. Temperatures here no better
01:51than 5 or 6 Celsius. The milder weather does start to win out though as we go through the
01:55evening on Monday. Cloud and patchy rain moving east-south-east across all areas as we go
02:00into the overnight period, into the early part of Christmas Eve. Milder too, as I say,
02:05but also quite a bit of low cloud around, some of that cloud sitting on the hilltops
02:08giving us some mist and fog in places. That takes us into a much milder Christmas period
02:13then. Lots of cloud around though, and some rain towards the north-west of the UK, but
02:17for many it will stay dry. That's pretty much it for me, but of course you can keep
02:20tuned to The Met Office Forkast by following us on social media and by subscribing to our
02:25YouTube channel. I'll see you soon, take care, bye bye.
