00:00Recent dramatic headlines warned of a 551-mile wall of rain and snow smashing the UK.
00:05But the Met Office calls that misleading.
00:08While this year's El Nino is expected to be unprecedented and may bring wetter, stormier conditions,
00:14it usually has limited effect on UK weather.
00:17The Met Office says El Nino does not determine individual weather events
00:21and denies any imminent polar vortex of snow and storms.
00:25Temperatures this week will be average or slightly below average,
00:28with widespread rain in England and Wales on Wednesday.
00:32Cooler conditions will quickly ease, with Thursday and Friday near normal again.
00:36The forecast points to typical autumn weather.
00:39Changeable with rain, brisk winds, and some chilly spells.
00:44Not the dramatic snow and freezing temperatures some headlines have claimed.
00:48So, the warnings of a weather wall smashing the UK do not match the forecast.
