00:00Hello there, good afternoon. It's going to be another day of sunny spells and showers,

00:06particularly once again around North Sea coast. Plenty of showers moving through here and

00:10eventually through the course of the day we'll see some move further inland too. The best

00:14of the brightness likely across western areas, so Northern Ireland, western parts of Wales,

00:18parts of Devon and Cornwall seeing a largely dry day. The bulk of the showers around eastern

00:23coasts and the odd shower could be heavy and likely still seeing some snow, particularly

00:27across high ground in Scotland, for example. But the difference compared to yesterday

00:32is that the winds are a little bit lighter, so temperatures still widely just below average

00:36for the time of year. Highs of around eight to nine Celsius, but in the lighter winds

00:40and where you catch the sunshine, it should still feel pleasant for the time of year.

00:45Now through into the evening, we are still going to see a fair few showers once again

00:49skirting into eastern coast or plenty of showers moving through into Scotland, where once again

00:53they could be heavy and likely bringing snow across the highlands, perhaps even some flurries

00:58to lower levels too. But a few more clearer skies across parts of the south. That means

01:02temperatures are soon going to dip away overnight and feeling very cold and likely to see quite

01:06a widespread frost across southern areas. But a slight difference in the north, bit

01:10more cloud here, so perhaps not turning quite as chilly here as it did last night. And even

01:15seeing a few mist and frog patches through the course of the night too. So a cold start

01:21for many, particularly across the south, likely be scraping your cars off in the morning.

01:25And once again, we're going to see a fairly similar day, more showers, particularly along

01:29those eastern coasts where it's the main firing line for those showers and then drifting through

01:33inland through the course of the day. Once again, the best of the dry weather in western

01:37areas. But those winds still saying lightening between those showers. Once again, lots of

01:41bright and sunny spells. So a fairly similar day with highs around eight to nine Celsius

01:48into the evening. We should see most of those showers die away, perhaps still a few across

01:52those North Sea coasts once again and still a chance of some frost, perhaps even some

01:57ice patches and some mist and fog as we head through into Friday evening and start the

02:01beginning of the weekend. But high pressure building more and more into Saturday as it

02:05drifts its way eastward. So lots of dry weather as we head towards the weekend. But notice

02:10we still remain in that cold pool of air, so still feeling quite chilly at times, particularly

02:14across the southeast where we start to see a bit of an easterly set up by the time we

02:18reach Saturday and Sunday. So still feeling cold, but likely seeing quite a dry weekend.

02:23Bye bye for now.
