Through the evening and overnight period a rainband approaches the UK from the west, which brings cloudy conditions and spells of rain to Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England and Wales it is dry and while Cumbria and the southeast of England are set to be overcast it will generally be cold and clear for most with the risk of fog patches and the odd patch of frost developing in central England and Wales. Higher temperatures will be observed under the cloud further north - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the evening of 12/01/2025.

00:00Hello there, very good evening to you. I hope you've had a lovely weekend. As we transition
00:05into the new week there are two competing factors in our weather. High pressure in the
00:10south east and low pressure up towards the north west are trying to provide two very
00:15different themes. In the middle there's a very tight squeeze in the ice bars, particularly
00:20for northern areas of Scotland this evening and overnight. We're going to see some very
00:23strong gusts of wind, severe gales around for a time as this cold front pushes its way
00:27in. Whilst these south westerly winds are strong, they're also very mild. If we trace
00:34those ice bars all the way back, the source region for those winds is all the way down
00:38in the Atlantic, filtering in some very mild conditions for the time of year. So certainly
00:43next week is going to be noticeably less cold for many of us compared to the one we've just
00:48experienced. If we just rewind back then to Sunday evening and for now, it's still a few
00:53hours away before we see that cold front eventually pushing into the far north west,
00:57but still some outbreaks of lighter rain and drizzle around for Scotland and Northern Ireland
01:01and the widely cloudy skies. A few clearer spells across England and Wales that will
01:06allow for a touch of patchy frost to develop during the forthcoming night, particularly
01:10eastern Wales down towards south eastern parts of England as well. Temperatures otherwise
01:15managing to hold up just around freezing, about one to three degrees celsius in some
01:19of our towns and cities. This cool theme will continue throughout the day in more central
01:25and southern areas on Monday. There could be a few isolated mist and fog patches first
01:29thing as well. It will take a little bit of time to eventually clear their way off. It
01:33should stay mostly dry here. Meanwhile, the rain in the northwest will turn heavier for
01:37a time, particularly around higher ground sites, and we'll start to see it push into
01:41the far northwest of England, also around Anglesea and northwestern Wales during the
01:45afternoon period as well. But this frontal system is going to act as a boundary line
01:50for our temperatures. Those strong but mild southwesterly winds are going to start feeding
01:56in double digit temperatures right across the board for Scotland and Northern Ireland,
02:00even under the widely gusty conditions further towards the south and east. It's still a little
02:05cooler, five to seven degrees celsius here is closer towards average for the time of
02:10year. During Monday night and into Tuesday, this frontal system is going to slowly weaken,
02:16but also stall across more central areas of the UK. It's still going to provide that boundary
02:22line between our temperatures. So as we start off on Tuesday morning, again, we've got a
02:27north to south contrast in things much milder across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but
02:31maybe still a patchy frost in more rural areas across the far south of England. Again, a
02:36few isolated mist and fog patches are possible here, first thing on Tuesday, just to watch
02:41out for. But with the rain now easing, it's mainly going to be light and drizzly outbreaks
02:46across some hills. So Airdrie, the Pennines, parts of the Lake District, also for the Highland
02:51districts as well. The best chance of some sunshine on Tuesday at the moment is looking
02:55like for some far southern coastal areas and coastal districts of England. Also some eastern
03:02areas of Scotland should hopefully see some brighter and sunnier spells developing at
03:06times. Those temperatures then ranging from 8 to 12 degrees Celsius, but not quite in
03:12the way you'd normally expect it with northern areas still seeing the most mildest of them.
03:17And that north to south topsy turvy nature is going to continue right throughout the
03:22forthcoming week. So do stay up to date with the forecast and we'll be able to provide
03:26more details on all of that. And we'll see you again here later on. Bye bye.
