00:00Merry Christmas.

00:01Despite the cold wind, it's actually been a sunny rather than white Christmas for most

00:05of us out there today.

00:07And that cold wind will continue through the course of this evening and overnight as well.

00:10It's all courtesy of this large area of high pressure that's dominating the UK and northwestern

00:14parts of Europe.

00:15And to the south, we have got a squeeze in the ice bars with the winds coming in from

00:19the east.

00:20So hence the really cold feel, particularly in the south over recent days.

00:24For the next few days, not much changes.

00:26The area of high pressure continues to stay dominant across the UK, bringing a continuation

00:30of the dry and settled theme.

00:32But by early next week, we might just see the winds shift to more of a northerly direction.

00:36And that might just bring temperatures down ever so slightly as we go through next week.

00:40But back to the rest of Christmas Day.

00:42And there are some strong winds in the south and the west, particularly across Wales and

00:45the southwest.

00:46Some gusty conditions, particularly over the hills and around some exposed coasts.

00:50And the winds will stay pretty fresh as we go through the course of tonight as well.

00:5330 to 40mph gusts in some spots.

00:57Probably turning cloudy as well for parts of Wales and southern regions of England as

01:01well.

01:02But further north, where skies are more clear, here we'll see a fairly widespread frost

01:05developing.

01:06Winds lighter further north as well.

01:08And we might well see a few freezing fog patches redeveloping across the Highlands in

01:12the Glens and particularly across the Moray Firth region where we could see temperatures

01:16several degrees below freezing.

01:18In the south though, the breeze just keeping temperatures ever so slightly above freezing probably in the

01:22the main towns and cities.

01:24Nonetheless, it will be a cold start to Boxing Day wherever you are.

01:28Some patchy frost in the south, but still quite a lot of cloud probably across more southern

01:32regions of England and South Wales.

01:34And still pretty breezy.

01:35That wind, a cold easterly as well.

01:38Further north, plenty of sunshine though.

01:40So a great day for getting out and about for a walk to burn off that Christmas Day lunch

01:44perhaps.

01:45Perhaps a bit more in a way of cloud though once again for northeastern parts of Scotland.

01:48And, generally speaking, some patchy cloud at times across more northeastern parts of

01:53England too.

01:54But at least here the winds will be fairly light, so highs of six to seven degrees in

01:59many places.

02:00Although, probably staying much colder if the fog does linger across parts of northern

02:04Scotland.

02:05In the south, temperatures up a degree or so compared to Christmas Day.

02:09And the winds ever so fractionally lighter, so not feeling quite as bitter perhaps in most

02:13places.

02:14As we go through Boxing Day, evening and overnight, not a lot changes.

02:18It will stay dry for the vast majority.

02:20A mixture of cloud and lengthy clear periods.

02:23West skies do stay clear overnight.

02:25We will see some frost once again developing.

02:27But once again, it's southern regions where there will be a bit more in a way of a breeze.

02:31So here, the frost a little bit more patchy in general.

02:35Further towards the north and the west though, west skies are clearer and more widespread

02:37frost for parts of western Scotland and Northern Ireland.

02:40And generally speaking, temperatures falling below freezing in the countryside.

02:45A subtle shift in the weather perhaps as we go into Saturday, with the winds shifting

02:50direction to more of a north-easterly.

02:52That probably bringing more in a way of clouding from the North Sea.

02:55So overall a cloudier day, particularly for more eastern parts of the UK.

03:00But perhaps becoming quite extensive across the Midlands and fringing into parts of Wales

03:04and even the south-west of England by the afternoon.

03:06So overall a duller, greyer day to come and feeling pretty chilly underneath those cloudy

03:11skies.

03:12But I'm still hopeful for western parts of Scotland in particular, but perhaps also western

03:16parts of Wales, the south-west of England and Northern Ireland, there will be at least

03:19some sunshine on offer through the day on Saturday.

03:23And highs here 6 or 7 degrees, not too far away from average.

03:27But where it stays cloudy, it will feel rather chilly.

03:31As we move into Sunday, not a lot of changes overall, but again it's looking at this stage

03:36to be a rather cloudy day for the vast majority.

03:39The best of any breaks, the best of any sunshine perhaps for north-west Wales, parts of north-west

03:44England and certainly western Scotland should fare fairly well with the best of the sunshine

03:48here.

03:49Where it does remain cloudy though, it will feel rather disappointing in Chile.

03:54But again, temperatures 6 to 7 degrees and not quite as windy over the weekend as it

03:58will have been over the last few days in the south.

04:02Whatever you're up to for the rest of Christmas, I do hope you have an enjoyable one and I'll

04:06see you again very soon.
