Monday morning begins with an east-west split across the mainland UK where much of the east will experience spells of either snow or rain, while many parts of the west will remain mostly dry, though Wales is an exception to this where wintry showers will be seen. As the morning goes on the wintry precipitation will move south and become less pervasive. Yellow weather warnings are in force for many parts of the UK for snow and ice. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 06/01/2025.

00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Monday morning, which has a
00:05lot of weather out there in terms of snow, ice, as well as rain and strong
00:10winds. There are numerous warnings across the country. For more details of those
00:14warnings, check out our Met Office website or go to our weather app. But
00:18certainly, if you are driving this morning, watch out for snow and ice. A lot
00:23of snow cover across particularly central and northern areas of Scotland
00:26and also some snow which was persistent overnight across central and eastern
00:30areas of Scotland. An ice warning for Northern Ireland. An ice warning extends
00:35down across northern England as well as northern parts of Wales and again snow
00:39cover particularly over the higher ground here. And further south we do have
00:43a rain warning. The rain has been persistent overnight. It is clearing
00:47towards the east. So as we head through today, it's going to be a cold one. You'll
00:53need to wrap up warm if you are out and about with a significant wind chill. The
00:57wind will always be a feature of the weather. Through the day, temperatures
01:00only slowly rising. Low pressure remains in charge, so we will see showery bursts
01:06which will have a wintry feel to it as we head through the afternoon. And there
01:10will be a little bit of drier weather coming through, particularly away from
01:14the centre of low pressure towards the west. So let's take a look at the detail.
01:17If you are stepping out first thing this morning, let's see what you have in store.
01:22Certainly some tricky driving conditions through the first part of the
01:26day across many parts of the country with that driving wind and also those
01:30snow showers. A mix of rain and snow along the coastline. Towards the southeast
01:34still some snow around here. We have wintry showers moving in across Northern
01:38Ireland extending down towards Irish Sea coast. And here a mix of rain along the
01:43coast but still some snow over the higher ground. Some heavier pulses of
01:46rain towards the southeast. It's a wet start across the East Midlands as well
01:50as eastern counties of England. Also the eastern side of Northern England with
01:55that driving wind. So a lot of wet weather, surface water. We have seen some
02:00localised flooding overnight and some heavy showers extending down the western
02:04side as we head through the day. Those showers will be snow over the higher
02:08ground in particular but even at lower levels in land across Scotland. So
02:12further accumulations are likely here and it remains quite tricky on the roads
02:16as we head through the afternoon across the far southeast of Scotland,
02:19northeast England as well with that strong wind and also those wintry
02:24showers. So they could become persistent from time to time. Hanging on to
02:29temperatures around 9 Celsius for East Anglia but elsewhere it's 2, 3, 4
02:35Celsius, 6 down towards the south. So a colder day all round and that leads into
02:40a cold night with the risk of frost and also the risk of ice. Further wintry
02:46showers are likely particularly towards the west, pushing in across the Welsh
02:50borders towards the western side of the Midlands and then eventually pushing
02:55ever eastwards. A mix of rain, a little snow associated with it as well and
02:59persistent showers towards the north and again the risk of snow especially in
03:05land. A mix of rain and snow along the coast with the driving wind gales across
03:09Shetland as well as a far northeastern tip of mainland Scotland. Temperatures
03:13here through the day coming in around 2 to 4 or 5 degrees Celsius. A little
03:17sunshine as well to end the day. Here's your outlook through Wednesday. Now
03:22towards the south an area of rain will bump into the cold air. At the moment
03:26there is a risk we could see some snow on its northern edge. We'll keep you
03:29posted here so check out our YouTube channel and we'll keep you updated
03:33through the next few days on that snow and rain situation towards the far south.
03:37For now though take care and I'll see you again soon.
