00:00Hello, we've made it halfway through meteorological winter but at the moment
00:04it's actually quite mild for this stage in the year. As well as that it's
00:09relatively calm across many places that's because we have high pressure
00:13sitting just to the south of us and it's this high that's going to dominate the
00:17weather across many parts through much of this week. That being said we do still
00:20have a weak front lying across central areas and it's here where we have the
00:24thickest cloud through the rest of today and with that then there will be some
00:28drizzly rain around some spots of light rain here and there. So a bit damp, a bit
00:33dank in some places that cloud will be quite low so some hill fog possible too.
00:37Across southern counties we will see some bright blue skies at times but a
00:41bit of cloud pushing its way southwards as we go through the afternoon. Perhaps
00:45the best chance of any sunshine will be across some parts of northeast England
00:49and central eastern Scotland to the lee of high ground with the winds coming in
00:53from the southwest. Temperatures like I said at the start are above average for
00:57the time of year especially towards the north widely getting into double figures
01:01closer to average further south with highs of around 8 or 9 Celsius generally
01:06here. As we go through this evening and it stays pretty cloudy across many parts
01:11of England and Wales that cloud really thick so still some drizzly outbreaks of
01:15rain and we will have some hill fog some poor visibility in some places as that
01:20cloud lowers in some places too. Some clear skies across eastern Scotland
01:25northeast England perhaps also developing clear skies across Northern
01:28Ireland too and where we get those clear skies temperatures may take a bit of a
01:32dip. Eastern Scotland may see a touch of frost perhaps but elsewhere it's looking
01:36like a pretty mild night because of the largely cloudy skies quite a bit
01:40milder than last night across southern coastal parts where it was a bit frosty
01:45first thing this morning. Otherwise as we go through Wednesday then a grey start
01:49for many of us some drizzly rain some low clouds some hill fog so some
01:53visibility issues but towards the northwest we see the winds picking up
01:57and so that's going to help clear away the cloud so across Northern Ireland
02:00plenty of sunshine through the day and across parts of Scotland northern and
02:04western England and Wales we will see the Sun breaking out so plenty of blue
02:08skies as we head into the afternoon but across more central southeastern parts
02:12the thick cloud lingering here still some spots of drizzly rain it's only
02:17going to be light but a bit damp in places and still some of that hill fog
02:20in places as well. Towards the far northwest of Scotland here we are going
02:25to have some rain pushing its way in and here we're going to have the strongest
02:28wind so turning pretty blustery. Temperatures still a little bit above
02:32average for the time of year perhaps not quite as high across some northern parts
02:36compared to today and in the south perhaps a touch milder but really with
02:40that cloud it's not going to feel particularly pleasant. As we go through
02:44and to the rest of the weekend well the largely dry weather sticks with us
02:48towards the northwest always the greatest chance of seeing some rain and
02:52some stronger winds but most places stay largely dry. Thursday will bring some
02:56bright skies at times but Friday Saturday it's looking pretty cloudy and
03:01with that we're going to see the return of some colder air so likely to have
03:04some more frosts as we head through the weekend as well. Now it is Tuesday so
03:08remember we will have a deep dive this week it's with honour and it will be
03:12available on both our YouTube channel and our app later on this afternoon I'll
03:16see you again soon bye bye
