00:00Hello there, good afternoon. We have a fair amount of unsettled weather for the lead up

00:05to New Year's and also for Hogmanay across Scotland with outbreaks of rain and also some

00:09snow at times. This is set to continue this afternoon across western parts of Northern

00:13Ireland through across the Scottish borders and at times northern parts of England too

00:17with some snow showers across the far north of Scotland, mainly across high ground but

00:21we could also see some flurries to lower levels too. Elsewhere across much of England and

00:27Wales, fairly cloudy, we may just see some breaks in that cloud at times to the east

00:31of high ground and parts of the south east too. We may also see some drips and drabs

00:35of rain and drizzle across hilly areas but there should be plenty of dry weather here

00:40with those spells of rain continuing across the north. Temperatures are fairly mild for

00:45the majority of the country too, though chillier in the far north of Scotland where we'll only

00:49see highs of around 4 to 5 Celsius. Then through into the evening we'll see a secondary band

00:55of rain slowly push its way north eastwards across Scotland, falling as heavy and persistent

01:01rain at times and then also some snow across the northern edge too. Once again mainly across

01:06hills but we could also see some to lower levels too and this rain is going to be heavy

01:10and persistent at times across parts of Scotland with an amber rain warning in force. Elsewhere

01:16once again that cloud sticking around, still could see some drizzly outbreaks across hills

01:20too and where we see much of that cloud sticking around that's going to keep temperatures up

01:25but once again in the far north of Scotland, chillier here, particularly where we see the

01:29outbreaks of snow. Then for the last day of the year, an unsettled day ahead for many,

01:34still outbreaks of rain, heavy and persistent at times across northern areas, some quite

01:39blustery winds too with multiple warnings in force for rain and wind and also snow too.

01:45This will eventually clear leaving some showers across northern areas but outbreaks of rain

01:50then feeding into northern parts of Wales and parts of northern and central England

01:54too. The best of the brightness once again across the far south and south east where

01:58it's still largely mild for the time of year and temperatures up by a degree or two in

02:03the far north of Scotland also. Then if you're out with all your New Year's Eve celebrations,

02:09well I'm afraid to say once again there is a fair amount of unsettled weather around.

02:13Plenty of rain across parts of Wales, northern and central parts of England. Once again this

02:17could be quite heavy and persistent at times. Once again plenty of showers across western

02:22parts of Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland too where we could once again see some snowfall.

02:27It should be largely dry across the south but once again cloudy with also some spells

02:32of drizzle. As we head into New Year's Day it does remain to look unsettled, heavy rain

02:38at times, also still some snow in places, mainly across the north and some strong winds

02:42particularly across southern areas. So the start of 2025 looks generally unsettled but
