00:00Good morning. You may not notice it first thing when stepping out, but certainly by this afternoon
00:05you'll notice things have turned quite a lot colder, all thanks of course to a cold front.
00:10Some really warm air in place across England and Wales for the past couple of days,
00:14but the colder air is now moving in and it sweeps in across all areas through the day today.
00:20And then eyes out in the Atlantic as a little air of low pressure spins itself up. That's going to
00:25bring some wet and windy conditions, particularly over the north and the west of the UK as we head
00:29in towards the weekend. But that's all to come. Let's get back to today and that's cold front,
00:35not just bringing the colder air, but also some damp conditions across Northern Ireland and Western
00:39Scotland this morning, slowly spreading through the central belt into Eastern Scotland, eventually
00:44into Northwest England, North and West Wales through the morning. And as it continues its progress into
00:51England and Wales, it will fizzle out. So no more than a few light showers in Southwest England.
00:55And we may see some of those crop up over the Midlands for the afternoon.
00:59Doesn't really reach East Anglia in the Southeast until late on. So here's some morning sunshine
01:03slowly clouding over through the day. Behind it, there'll be some sunny spells as well,
01:08but there will also be quite a few showers packing in. And in the colder air, those showers may well
01:12fall as snow over the hills in Scotland. And we could even see some hailstones mixed in as well,
01:18as temperatures will be significantly lower for the vast majority. Yesterday, we were widely over 20
01:23degrees into the mid-20s in places today. Well, only 14, 15 for many. We could still sneak up to
01:3020
01:30degrees as things slowly cloud over this afternoon across East Anglia and the Southeast. How do these
01:35temperatures compare to yesterday's? Well, many places five, six, seven degrees lower, some places
01:40nine degrees lower than yesterday. This is what this map is showing. Temperatures this afternoon
01:46compared to yesterday afternoon. Notice that sliver of red there on the East Anglia coastline
01:52because with sea breezes pegging the temperatures back yesterday with a westerly wind today, temperatures
01:58on that coastal strip will be a little bit higher. But for most places, cooler. And then that cold front
02:03brings some showery rain in across East Anglia for a time this evening before clearing away.
02:08Clear skies then follow for many. A few showers still coming in, but they'll tend to fade away too.
02:13And yes, a pocket or two of frost likely across parts of Scotland and northern England in rural
02:19spots. Towns and cities may just hold above, but temperatures certainly a lot lower on Friday
02:24morning, tomorrow morning compared to this morning. And this map is showing the difference in those
02:30temperatures between five o'clock tomorrow morning, five o'clock this morning. So again,
02:34quite a few places, quite a few degrees colder. As we go through Friday, well, many places will be dry
02:41and bright. It's quite a bit of high cloud around, so sunshine could be fairly hazy, but it should lift
02:47those temperatures up above freezing fairly smartly. The winds whipping up in the west, that area of low
02:52pressure we saw earlier, spreading rain in across Northern Ireland. We'll see some outbreaks of rain
02:57getting into parts of Wales and southwest England, eventually into southwest Scotland as well. The winds
03:02really picking up up through the Irish seas are getting gusty and blustery here. Temperatures are close to
03:08your touch below average and certainly feeling colder with that wind picking up in the Belfast
03:14area and generally across Northern Ireland, turning quite wet and windy as we go through Friday evening
03:19and overnight. For more details on that and an outlook into the weekend and beyond, you'll want to
