00:00Hi there and welcome to the latest update from the Met Office. A much sunnier day today
00:05compared with the last couple of days. Certainly that sunshine prevalent across Scotland, Northern
00:12and Eastern England, the Midlands and Wales first thing, a bit more cloud remaining for
00:15Northern Ireland. A widespread frost where we've had clear skies overnight but soon warming
00:19up because of the strong March sunshine. Although we'll see a bit more of a breeze at the same
00:25time compared with yesterday and that means it's going to feel cold where we've got
00:29that breeze, especially in the south and the east. But where we've got the sunshine
00:34out of the breeze feeling pleasant enough, temperatures are a degree or two higher compared
00:38with the same time yesterday. We'll keep the clear skies overnight. In fact, Northern Ireland
00:43eventually sees the cloud clear as well. A bit more cloud remaining for the Northern
00:47Isles but for the vast majority under those clear skies, one or two mist and fog patches
00:52will form and another widespread frost is expected. Away from southern counties where
00:56we keep a breeze and temperatures in the mid-single figures, I think for the northern
01:00two-thirds of the UK, widely temperatures will dip below freezing in some places, several
01:05degrees below freezing. Nevertheless, over the next few days, we're going to see more
01:09of a southerly airflow and that's going to import warmer air. So, temperatures will gradually
01:14rise but we'll also see this area of low pressure that's lingering across Portugal at the time
01:21being. But it's eventually going to bring some more unsettled weather to the west and
01:26southwest of the UK. The first signs of that there on Wednesday morning, across Cornwall
01:30a bit more cloud in the sky, a few passing showers. But for the vast majority, Wednesday
01:35is another sunny day and temperatures are responding well to those southerly winds,
01:3914 or 15 Celsius. Even warmer on Thursday and Friday but with a bit more cloud and further
01:45showers arriving into the weekend.
