00:00Get those hats and scarves ready. There's going to be quite a cold feel to things as we go through
00:05the next few days.
00:06Before I look at the UK, however, I wanted to show you Storm Charles.
00:10It is pushing its way across Portugal and Spain, bringing some very strong winds and some heavy rain as well,
00:16causing some significant impacts.
00:18Meanwhile, across the UK, we have these two fronts.
00:21Cold front in the north, bringing some showers, and then in the south, an occluded front, bringing more cloud and
00:26outbreaks of rain.
00:27It's been pretty damp here at times, but nowhere near as wet as it was through yesterday.
00:31In between those two zones, we have a lot of dry, bright weather to be had, but temperatures, they are
00:37a little bit on the low side for the time of year.
00:39Most areas just about scraping into the high single figures or low double digits, but some places, central belt of
00:46Scotland, for example, and the far north of England, will be a bit chillier than this, despite the sunny skies.
00:52Now, the showers across parts of Scotland, they are going to be fairly frequent, particularly towards the north and east.
00:56We do actually have a small-scale low that was going to push its way across Orkney and Shetland as
01:02we go through the evening and overnight.
01:03And with those showers, there will be a wintry element, so some sleet, some snow, some hails quite likely as
01:10well.
01:10Now, the snow is going to be over modest higher ground, so not to the lowest levels, but nonetheless, there
01:16could be some settling on some of the higher routes, so do watch out for that.
01:19Otherwise, and through the night, apart from some showers feeding into some eastern coastal parts of England and one or
01:25two for Northern Ireland, it's looking largely dry.
01:27Lots of dry, clear weather to be had, and with cold air coming down from the north, we are going
01:33to see temperatures dropping pretty low.
01:35They got to minus six last night in some sheltered parts of Scotland.
01:38It could be a little bit colder than that, perhaps, in parts of Scotland, and rural spots in England and
01:44Wales, and perhaps even Northern Ireland, too, are likely to drop a few degrees below freezing as well.
01:49Elsewhere, more built-up areas staying a couple of degrees above, but nonetheless, a crisp but bright start for many
01:55of us tomorrow, with some frost in those prone spots.
01:57Through the day, we continue with a brisk northerly flow, continuing to pile in some showers across Northern Ireland, yes,
02:04and eastern parts of England, but most frequently across northern northeastern parts of Scotland.
02:09And here, they will still be wintry at times over higher ground, and some hails still quite likely, too.
02:13And the blustery winds will make it feel quite chilly at times.
02:17Even elsewhere, despite the fact that there will be lots of bright, sunny weather, plenty of autumn blue skies, it
02:23is going to be a pretty chilly feel to things, with temperatures down a couple of degrees compared to today,
02:29and down compared to average, and always feeling colder where you're exposed to that brisk northerly wind.
02:35The showers continue around those northern and eastern parts through the end of the day on Thursday.
02:40Most places, though, having another dry night, lots of clear skies, more clear skies, perhaps, than this coming night, and
02:47with that colder air pushing even further southwards, I'm expecting temperatures as we go through Thursday night into Friday to
02:53drop even lower.
02:54Could be the coldest night of this week, with quite a frosty start for a fair few of us on
02:59Friday morning.
02:59We'll, of course, be keeping you up to date with that, and if you want to know what's happening in
03:03the longer range, well, check out the 10-day trend Aiden will be bringing it to you later on.
03:07Bye-bye.
