00:00Good evening. I hope you made the most of the sunshine that many of us saw on Saturday
00:04because the weather is set to change once again as we go into Sunday. The fine weather
00:09that most of us saw was courtesy of this little ridge in the ice of bars, but out towards
00:12the west we've already got the next frontal system waiting in the wings. That will push
00:16us away eastwards through the day on Sunday, followed by some colder air for a time before
00:20the next frontal system brings a wetter and windier spell to some areas, particularly
00:24in the north on Monday. And then it's all about high pressure building through the middle
00:28part of the week. So whilst there will be a decaying front here that will bring patching
00:33outbreaks of rain and drizzle for a time across more northern areas, for most it's going to
00:37turn dry and increasingly sunny, particularly across England and Wales. And with that, we
00:41are expecting temperatures to rise. But back to Saturday evening and whilst there are a
00:45few showers around, many of us will actually end the day with some dry weather and clear
00:50and starry skies overnight tonight will allow temperatures to fall away. So a fairly widespread
00:54frost developing, particularly in the countryside of England and Wales. Out towards the north
00:58and west though, the cloud already starting to thicken and through the night we'll see
01:02outbreaks of rain pushing in from the Atlantic. So turning into a fairly wet and soggy night
01:06across Northern Ireland and Western Scotland. The winds really strengthening here as well.
01:10So gales developing for Western Scotland, particularly the Hebrides. And as well as that,
01:15the winds are going to start to freshen from a southerly direction. So temperatures will
01:18actually rise through the second half of the night. And by the morning, five or six degrees
01:22will be the temperature on the thermometer in the west. Further east though, temperatures
01:26perhaps dropping below freezing in the countryside and certainly close to freezing in the towns
01:30and the cities. Now, despite the cold start in eastern and southeastern England, it does
01:35actually promise to be a much brighter picture here. So if you have outdoor plans for Mothering
01:39Sunday, make the most of the morning sunshine here because it will gradually cloud over through
01:43the morning. And further west, we've already got some outbreaks of rain. Showery rain pushing
01:47eastwards across England and Wales through the course of the day. Possibly the odd heavier
01:51burst, but there will also be some dry interludes as well. So certainly not a washout for all
01:55of us. Further north and west, the skies quickly brighten, but there are going to be
01:59a fair number of heavy showers and really quite heavy downpours packing in from the northwest. So
02:05some hail, some thunder mixed in with those showers, particularly across northern western
02:09parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. And as I say, some blustery winds as well, potentially
02:13gusting into the 40s of miles per hour. Brightening up as well across northern England,
02:18Wales and the southwest through the afternoon. But even here, there'll be a fair number of
02:22showers too. In terms of our temperatures on Sunday, so it might well read 11 or 12 degrees
02:27on the thermometer across England, Wales, but it's not going to feel anywhere near as pleasant
02:31as it did on Saturday, given the wind and the rain. And temperatures will actually drop
02:35through the afternoon. So colder air arriving across the northwest of the UK, temperatures down
02:40to six or seven degrees at lower levels by mid-afternoon. And the showers turn increasingly
02:44to snow through the afternoon and into the evening. So through Sunday evening, quite a bit of snow,
02:49perhaps building up across the Scottish mountains, but also a covering of snow, perhaps across the
02:53northern Pennines and the high ground in Northern Ireland and some blustery winds and scattered showers
02:58elsewhere across the UK too. So a very changeable night to come. Where we do see the clear skies
03:03most persistent across more central and eastern parts of England, well, here we could see some patchy
03:08frost where the winds fall light. But for most towns and cities, temperatures are expected to stay
03:12just a little bit above freezing to begin the day on Monday. So a bright sunny start to the day
03:17for
03:17some eastern parts of Scotland, the Midlands, central and southern and eastern parts of England.
03:22Here, the best of the brightness in the morning. It will turn cloudy through the day. Some showery
03:26outbreaks of rain pushing in as well. And actually across Northern Ireland, northwest England and western
03:31Scotland here, we'll actually see some more persistent rain developing through the day too.
03:35As well as that, the winds will start to freshen. So it will start to become quite unpleasant
03:39with those brisk southwesterly winds developing. And temperatures will be close to average once
03:44again for the time of year. Highs of 10 to 12 degrees. So a very changeable picture in terms of
03:49the weather over the next few days. But as I say, high pressure is something to look forward to by
03:53the time we get to the middle of next week. Do make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel
