00:00Hello there, good evening. As we head towards the New Year's celebrations, I'm afraid it's
00:05a very unsettled forecast ahead. Multiple Met Office warnings in force, including an
00:10amber warning issued for New Year's Eve for rain across parts of Scotland. So do take
00:14care if you're travelling around for any festivities. And as we head into this evening, we'll see
00:19those outbreaks of rain push their way into parts of Scotland, falling as snow mainly
00:23across hills but also to lower levels too, mainly across northern parts of Scotland.
00:28And where we do see those outbreaks of rain turning rather heavy and persistent at times,
00:33where we do see that amber warning issued across parts of Scotland. And then through
00:36the early hours of the morning, we'll start to see that heavy rain start to creep into
00:40parts of Northern Ireland too. But across much of England and Wales, a dry night on
00:44offer, plenty of cloud around though that is going to keep temperatures up. But a chilly
00:48start across northern parts of Scotland where we do see that snowfall. And then for New
00:53Year's Eve itself, an unsettled day ahead for many of us. Plenty of blustery winds across
00:58the far north. We could see gusts of around 60, maybe even 70 miles per hour across parts
01:02of Northern England as those outbreaks of rain move through. They will eventually clear
01:07parts of Scotland but plenty of blustery showers here. Once again, these could be heavy at
01:11times and falling as snow at times too, particularly across the far north of Scotland. Shetland
01:15for example, seeing multiple snow showers. Temperatures up by a degree or two, particularly
01:20across northern parts of Scotland but often feeling rather chilly under those cloudier
01:24skies. Through into the evening, we'll see these outbreaks of rain slowly shift their
01:29way further across parts of England and Wales. Though it does generally stall across northern
01:35parts of Wales and northern parts of England for midnight itself if you are out celebrating
01:39New Year's Eve. And across the far north, once again, plenty of showers. These merging
01:44into longer spells of rain at times too. And once again, we could see some snow and we
01:47do have a risk of ice also for northern parts of Scotland. But across the south, once again,
01:53largely dry, though plenty of cloud around as we head towards the new year. Then through
01:58the early hours, once again, those outbreaks of rain still continuing across northern parts
02:02of Wales, northern parts of England and central parts too. Once again, this rather heavy and
02:07persistent at times, still those showers continuing across the far north. And slightly milder
02:12across the south where we see those cloudier skies linger on but turning very chilly indeed
02:16across the far north of Scotland as we start to introduce a brisk northerly flow here.
02:22And then for New Year's Day itself, once again, outbreaks of rain. These slowly edging
02:26towards the south and southeast, still heavy and persistent at times. And to the north
02:30of this, it is going to be turning very cold. So if we see any blustery showers moving through,
02:35these likely falling as snow across hilly areas and very blustery amongst these showers
02:40too. So feeling very cold in the wind. But across the far south, milder, yes, but it
02:45is going to be a wet afternoon on offer for the new year.
02:50So as we head into next week, once again, this cold northerly flow that will slowly
02:54shift its way towards much of the country. So we'll start to see more sunshine for the
02:58end of the week, yes, but plenty of sunshine. These likely falling as snow and it is going
03:03to be feeling cold, particularly in those brisk northerly winds. But of course, for
03:08more updates on that, you can always subscribe to our YouTube channel and then you'll never
03:11miss any updates. Bye bye.
