00:00Still 11 days until the equinox but it's definitely big coat weather out there.

00:05Chilly winds, some sunshine, but plenty of showers as well. Here's the bigger

00:10picture, the view from space. Satellite image showing this large stripe of cloud.

00:14There's a large area of high pressure over here way out to the west but we're

00:19being controlled by this low pressure system which is bringing in the winds

00:23behind it down from the north or the northwest. And this speckle here, well

00:28they're showers that are feeding in down through the Irish Sea into

00:31northwest England. That's going to continue to drift south across the

00:34Midlands but there's plenty of showers developing elsewhere also. Not too many

00:39for South Wales, southwest England, parts of eastern England may escape dry and

00:43certainly this afternoon much of southeast Scotland will be dry as well.

00:47But elsewhere be prepared for showers to come and go throughout the day. They'll

00:50chug through pretty smartly because of that brisk wind but that brisk wind is

00:54bringing the chill. Temperatures really struggling, 12, 13 at best across the

01:00north, maybe 15, 16, 17 in the south. But add on that wind and it feels colder,

01:06feels more like single digits for many. So yes, a real chill out there today. It's

01:11going to get cold overnight as well. Still plenty of showers around for this

01:15evening's rush hour so yes, lots of spray and surface water on the roads. One

01:19minute it's dry, the next you're in a downpour. But generally the showers will

01:23ease certainly across the Midlands, much of eastern England, southern Scotland,

01:26southern England will have a dry night. And with clear skies and as the winds

01:31ease a touch with the cold air in place, temperatures are really going to tumble

01:35down to 5, 6 degrees in most towns and cities. Rural areas will be not far off

01:40or even particularly across the north a little bit below freezing. So yes, a chilly

01:45start to Thursday. Should be some sunshine around though for many. A

01:49sparkling start over southern Scotland, eastern and southern England. There will

01:53be showers again tomorrow, particularly across north and west Wales, northern

01:57parts of Northern Ireland, northern Scotland. But not as many tomorrow for

02:00southwest Scotland, northwest England looking a bit drier. Come the afternoon

02:03a few across southwest England and the odd one over the Midlands and eastern

02:08England as well. But generally not as many showers as today. A bit more in the

02:12way of sunshine and the winds will be a little bit lighter tomorrow. They're

02:16still coming out from the north so it's still cold air so temperatures are still

02:19going to struggle. Most places again struggling to get into the teens across

02:24the north, maybe 15 or 16 further south. But with the winds being a bit light, it

02:28will probably feel a little bit less cold tomorrow. But it's going to get cold

02:32again on Thursday night in particular and temperatures are below average. These

02:38are the numbers for Thursday, comparing them to average significantly below for

02:42the time of year. So yes, there are real chances that it's going to get cold on

02:46Thursday night as well. Still a few showers around on Thursday evening but

02:49they will tend to fade. The winds will ease down further. We'll have clear skies

02:53so even more likely to see temperatures down to pretty close to freezing on

02:58Friday morning. But then we'll start to see a bit more of a change. That high

03:02pressure down to the west will start to build in across the southern half of the

03:07UK. But low pressure is still in control for the north. Some wet and windy weather

03:10likely across Scotland, particularly so on Saturday. But high pressure dominating

03:15to the south bringing quite a lot of fine weather here actually for the end

03:18of the week. And it will also bring some milder air. So we've got the colder air

03:22in place at the moment. But as this high topples in and the weather comes more in

03:26from the west, we will see temperatures rising slowly but surely through the

03:30weekend and into next week. So yes, it is pretty chilly out there at the moment.

03:35But something a bit warmer on the way through the weekend and for next week.

03:39For more details on that, you can catch our 10-day trend. That'll be available on

03:43our YouTube channel by Wednesday afternoon.
