00:00Thanks for joining me for this weather for the week ahead from the Met Office.
00:03Certainly a cold and frosty start to the working week. Slowly, and I do mean slowly,
00:09temperatures will be on the rise this week. But for much of the week it's still
00:13going to feel pretty cold, thanks mostly to an increasing breeze. Many central and
00:19eastern parts, by and large, are going to have a drier week. There will be some rain at
00:23times though, particularly in the west. Southwest England, Wales and Northern
00:26Ireland. That is going to come from really one area of low pressure that's really quite
00:30slow moving out in the Atlantic. There's another low to the east of us and we're
00:35kind of in between the two to start Tuesday. That's why many places will start dry and
00:41clear and cold. Another frosty old start. And there'll be more fog around on Tuesday
00:47morning. That could be pretty dense and could be slow to clear. Not as frosty in Northern
00:52Ireland. Here we'll have that first weather front just edging in, bringing more cloud,
00:56more breeze, and particularly by the afternoon, some showery rain. But for much of the UK
01:01it's dry, it's bright. Assuming that fog clears, we should see a fair bit of sunshine. But
01:07again, temperatures are going to struggle a little bit. 4, 5, 6 degrees. If the fog
01:12sticks around, it may not get much above freezing. But it is turning milder in the west as that
01:17weather front comes in and the breeze picks up. It may not feel like 10 or 11 Celsius
01:21but that's what the thermometer could read. Now that weather front just edges in a little
01:26bit more on Tuesday night and into Wednesday. High pressure is blocking things though across
01:30the near continent. So many central and eastern areas, again, starting with a frost. We could
01:35start with some fog. But by and large it'll be dry and bright here. Further west, that's
01:40where that weather front will be lying. A bit of uncertainty about exactly where it
01:44sits but because it's slow moving, if you're stuck under it, it could be a pretty soggy
01:49day. Again, it's in the west where we'll see those higher temperatures, 9, 10 degrees,
01:53but it won't feel all that mild. Most of the place is still in single figures and particularly
01:59if there's some stubborn fog around. The wet weather may just start to pep up a little
02:04bit more. These weather fronts and the low pressure just edging in furthermore through
02:08Wednesday night and into Thursday. Notice the ice bars squeezing together as well. So
02:11it could get quite windy during Wednesday and Thursday, again, particularly in the west.
02:16And this weather front may bring a bit more in the way of slightly heavier rain as it
02:20creeps its way again, chiefly across western areas. A bit more cloud across the east, but
02:26again, many places here looking dry. But look at the temperatures by now, 7, 8, 9, 10 degrees,
02:30still generally around or below average and feeling colder because there'll be a bit more
02:36rain around and because of that strengthening wind coming up from the south. Into Friday
02:41and the weekends, that low pressure could get a bit closer. There's a bit of uncertainty
02:45about developments through Friday. It could bring a spell of heavier rain, possibly across
02:49the southwest. That's an area we need to watch. Generally, low pressure remains in
02:53charge into the weekend. There will be further showery rain, particularly so across the west
02:59and especially so in the southwest. By the weekend, though, those mornings will be noticeably
03:04mild. It won't be as frosty, but it will be quite breezy. So slowly it's getting a little
03:10bit milder this week. But for much of the week, it does stay on the chilly side. Keep
03:14up to date with the very latest from the Met Office by following us on social media.
