00:00Hello, thanks for joining me for your latest weather update from the Met Office, another
00:05cold one tonight with more warnings in place for snow and ice across northern and western
00:11Scotland along with Northern Ireland. The snow showers continuing to feed in here through
00:15the night, a further few centimetres topping up what we've already seen. We've seen through
00:20the day some snow showers over northwest England and north Wales, they are now fading. For
00:25most of England and Wales a dry night, a clear night with a hard frost as the winds
00:30continue to ease down. Those lighter winds could also allow some fog patches to form
00:34parts of northwest England and the Midlands along with Northern Ireland. It could be quite
00:38dense in some spots in the morning as well. Temperatures are going to really drop away
00:43through the night, if anything colder than Tuesday morning. Temperatures down to minus
00:482, minus 3 pretty extensively across towns and cities, minus double digits in the countryside
00:54over northern England and parts of central and southern Scotland too. Still quite windy
00:59across the far northeast, that wind has been perishing through the course of Tuesday. Not
01:03quite so cold in the far southwest, a little bit more cloud edging in here that will help
01:08to keep the temperatures up perhaps across the isles of Scilly and Cornwall. But certainly
01:13cold for many and we do have that warning in place for snow and ice across northern
01:17and western Scotland and Northern Ireland through Wednesday morning as the snow showers
01:22continue to come in. It could be very slippery on the roads first thing in the morning. Then
01:27as we go through the day as mist and fog should clear for many, it's dry, it's bright, there
01:31will be some sunshine. The snow and sleet showers easing for Northern Ireland but will
01:36continue to feed some in across northern Scotland throughout the day. But for a good chunk of
01:41the country it's dry but notice in the south, clouds slowly increasing, sunshine turning
01:46hazy over the Midlands, Wales and East Anglia and the clouds thick enough in the far south
01:51for some wet weather. Temperatures are going to struggle again. Some places, Shelter Glen
01:57to Scotland for example, are likely to stay below freezing all day. Generally with a bit
02:02of sunshine creeping up to 3 or 4 degrees Celsius, perhaps getting a little milder in
02:07the far southwest but it all depends on how far north this wet weather comes. And that's
02:13still giving us a few headaches at the moment. Still some uncertainty about how much snow
02:16we're going to see but as the wet weather comes in through the morning, we are likely
02:20to see some snow over Dartmoor and then it's just a question of how far north it gets and
02:26how it interacts with the winds. Winds coming in from the sea make a big difference compared
02:31to winds coming in across the land. So really on a knife edge across these southern counties.
02:37Most likely we're going to see rain but there is still the decent chance that we could see
02:41some snow in places across the south. It's not a guarantee but in this yellow warning
02:47area there is the possibility of some disruption. Won't be everywhere that sees the snow but
02:52where we do see it, it could cause a few issues during the course of Wednesday. Something
02:56we're keeping a very close eye on at the moment. That wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow should
03:01then pull away during Wednesday evening time but could still be around certainly through
03:07the rush hour period. Then we're still feeding in showers and the northerly wind over the
03:11north of Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland. So again potentially quite icy here on Wednesday
03:16night and into Thursday and for most places again clear skies, light winds, a hard frost.
03:23Again negative double figures across parts of Scotland, Northern England in the countryside
03:26and well if anything could be colder still Thursday morning compared to Wednesday morning.
03:31Could get down to minus teens across parts of Scotland. So again a frosty start, an icy
03:37start for some. Any of that leftover rain and sleet clearing away from Kent pretty sharply
03:43in the morning. Again could be some mist and fog around but for most places dry and
03:47fine with good spells of sunshine. Temperatures again are going to struggle some places not
03:53getting much of a freezing particularly if any mist and fog sticks around but generally
03:56getting up to 2 or 3 degrees across the north, 5 or 6 Celsius across the south. It looks
04:02like turning a little milder as we head into the weekend but certainly further wintry weather
04:07to come over the next 24 to 48 hours. Keep up to date with those weather warnings on
