00:00Hello there and very Merry Christmas from all of us here at the Metaphys.
00:04Hopes of a white Christmas certainly have been dashed this year with mild
00:08conditions for most of us. In fact we have provisionally seen the mildest start
00:12to Christmas Day on record for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures here
00:16over the last 24 hours have not dropped much below 11 or 12 degrees Celsius in
00:21places, so very mild indeed. Although mild, it is coming with quite a lot of cloud.
00:27The earliest satellite image showing quite a lot of grey skies around. A few
00:31breaks in there to watch out for throughout today, particularly for parts
00:34of the Midlands, through Yorkshire and Northumberland, eastern areas of Scotland.
00:37Also perhaps seeing some sunny spells around at times. For northwest of
00:40Scotland though, we have this rain band in place providing wetter conditions and
00:44also some gales around coastal areas. Temperatures though on the thermometer
00:48certainly well above average for the time of year. 11 to 12 degrees Celsius,
00:53perhaps locally 13 in there as well. Might not need those Christmas jumpers
00:57if you are stepping outside, though I'm sure it will still bring the festive
01:01spirit. As we head into the evening and overnight, this band of rain in the far
01:05northwest is slowly going to slip its way a little bit further southwards. So
01:09that rain spreading into more mainland areas of Scotland and also fringing into
01:13Northern Ireland as we move towards dawn on Boxing Day as well. Generally England
01:17and Wales staying dry. A few fog patches are possible, but with the cloud around
01:21it's certainly not going to be too chilly of a night for most of us around 6 to 9
01:26degrees Celsius. Boxing Day itself for England and Wales is pretty much a rinse
01:31and repeat scenario. So we are going to see quite a lot of cloud around again
01:35areas to the east of higher ground. Going to see the best chance of some breaks in
01:39there and some sunny spells. For Scotland and Northern Ireland we still have this
01:42rain band in place, so again a little bit of a damper day to come here. Areas to
01:48the south of that rain band once again 10 or 11 degrees Celsius a mild day, but
01:52further towards the northwest we're starting to see some slightly cooler
01:55conditions move their way in. 7, 8 degrees Celsius for the Western Isles and up
02:00into the Northern Isles also. And we're going to be watching this rain band over
02:04the forthcoming days because it's going to act as that boundary line between the
02:07milder and the cooler conditions. On Friday at least it does look like the
02:12mild conditions will remain in place for most of us, but into the weekend it is
02:16possible that we'll start to see that front slowly slipping its way south
02:19eastwards and that will allow those cooler fresher conditions to start
02:22arriving in for many of us. But we'll have plenty more updates on all of that
02:26and of course as we head towards New Year on our YouTube channel so make sure
02:30you're subscribed and we'll see you again here later on. Have a lovely
02:34Christmas!
