Hello, there. It certainly was a cold start today on Thursday,

0:00:020:00:04

minus 3, minus 4, minus five,

0:00:040:00:06

but it did lead to some very picturesque scenery.

0:00:060:00:08

This was captured

0:00:080:00:10

by one of our weather watchers in Oxfordshire,

0:00:100:00:12

a lovely winter scene

0:00:120:00:13

with the frost on the trees,

0:00:130:00:15

some sunshine beating down, as well,

0:00:150:00:17

but the frost also on the roofs, on the hedges,

0:00:170:00:19

the fences and on the ground,

0:00:190:00:20

but where we saw the sunshine by daytime,

0:00:200:00:22

come the evening,

0:00:220:00:23

temperatures dropped away quite quickly

0:00:230:00:25

and we saw the fog reforming.

0:00:250:00:26

This is the view from one of our weather watchers in Derbyshire.

0:00:260:00:29

Now, the extent of the fog overnight

0:00:290:00:31

is open to some question marks,

0:00:310:00:32

cos some extra cloud is drifting in from the west,

0:00:320:00:34

so, by the end of the night,

0:00:340:00:36

I suspect East Anglia and the south-east

0:00:360:00:37

will see the worst of the fog,

0:00:370:00:39

which will lift slowly into low cloud,

0:00:390:00:40

or keep it quite grey or quite cold here.

0:00:400:00:42

Notice the south-westerly breeze

0:00:420:00:43

for Northern Ireland and Scotland -

0:00:430:00:45

that's going to keep temperatures on the mild side, actually,

0:00:450:00:48

around about 11 degrees for Glasgow and for Belfast,

0:00:480:00:50

but where the low cloud lingers, well, 5, 6, 7 degrees.

0:00:500:00:53

There'll be some breaks in the cloud,

0:00:530:00:54

mainly to the east side of higher ground -

0:00:540:00:56

but notice we do have a weather front in the north of Scotland,

0:00:560:00:58

that's bringing some rain,

0:00:580:00:59

and there is a bit of a breeze associated with that,

0:00:590:01:01

and it stays breezy through the evening.

0:01:010:01:03

That rain just drifts a little bit further south.

0:01:030:01:05

Elsewhere, a lot of dry but rather cloudy weather,

0:01:050:01:07

very patchy fog across the south-western quadrant of the UK,

0:01:070:01:10

but I don't think it'll be too much of an issue.

0:01:100:01:12

New Year's Eve itself -

0:01:120:01:13

well, that weather front's going to bring

0:01:130:01:15

some pretty wet weather across much of Scotland,

0:01:150:01:17

it'll drift south into Northern Ireland, as well -

0:01:170:01:19

maybe a little bit of rain to the north-west of England,

0:01:190:01:21

but the south-westerly breeze affecting much more of the UK,

0:01:210:01:24

so not quite so cold in the south and south-east.

0:01:240:01:26

We might even see double figures, temporarily.

0:01:260:01:28

And then, through the New Year's Eve evening,

0:01:280:01:30

that's where the front eventually clears away

0:01:300:01:32

from southern Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:01:320:01:34

By midnight, it's probably across northern England

0:01:340:01:36

and into North Wales,

0:01:360:01:37

and it continues its journey ever southwards,

0:01:370:01:39

bringing some rain with it - but behind it,

0:01:390:01:41

some much colder air -

0:01:410:01:42

cold enough for some snow showers in northern Scotland

0:01:420:01:45

on New Year's Day - maybe not just northern Scotland,

0:01:450:01:47

the southern uplands could probably see some snow showers, as well,

0:01:470:01:50

but there is some spells of sunshine to be had,

0:01:500:01:52

but it's going to be a pretty grey day, I suspect,

0:01:520:01:54

across East Anglia and much of the Midlands and the south-east,

0:01:540:01:56

with cloud and rain, which eventually pulls away.

0:01:560:01:59

But we keep that northerly breeze going,

0:01:590:02:01

so, as we get towards Monday morning,

0:02:010:02:04

it's going to be cold

0:02:040:02:05

and it'll be quite frosty, as well.

0:02:050:02:07

Could be some icy patches around -

0:02:070:02:08

but, actually, Monday itself looks like a pretty reasonable day,

0:02:080:02:11

particularly in those inland areas.

0:02:110:02:12

A good deal of dry, bright and sunny weather to be had

0:02:120:02:15

after a frosty start.

0:02:150:02:17

A few showers coming in on that breeze,

0:02:170:02:19

mainly to coastal areas in the north, east and west,

0:02:190:02:22

and after that cold start, it'll be a cold day

0:02:220:02:24

in spite of some sunshine -

0:02:240:02:25

4, 5, 6 degrees, maybe 7 if you are lucky.

0:02:250:02:28

So, a cold start to Tuesday, but a cloudy day, I think,

0:02:280:02:32

a cloudier day overall.

0:02:320:02:33

There'll be a little bit of sunshine in the southernmost counties,

0:02:330:02:36

and maybe towards the eastern side of Scotland,

0:02:360:02:38

and a few showers on the western side of Scotland -

0:02:380:02:40

but, again, after a cold start, we are well into single figures.

0:02:400:02:42

It's 5, 6 or 7 degrees.

0:02:420:02:44

Now, what about the middle of next week?

0:02:440:02:46

Well, actually, there's quite a strong jet stream

0:02:460:02:48

coming out of the United States,

0:02:480:02:49

but once it gets to our side of the Atlantic,

0:02:490:02:51

it kind of splits, really, and really weakens off.

0:02:510:02:53

One arm goes to the north of the UK, one arm goes to the south,

0:02:530:02:55

so it's not really the jet stream that'll be influencing our weather

0:02:550:02:58

through the middle of the week,

0:02:580:02:59

it'll be this high in the middle of the Atlantic.

0:02:590:03:01

Remember, winds go clockwise around that high,

0:03:010:03:04

so we're going to import some relatively mild air

0:03:040:03:07

across most parts of the UK,

0:03:070:03:08

but I suspect it will be temporary,

0:03:080:03:10

temperatures probably only getting to 10 or 11 degrees,

0:03:100:03:13

and then, later on next week,

0:03:130:03:15

it looks like it'll be turning a good deal colder.

0:03:150:03:17

There'll be a brisk wind coming down from the north or north-west,

0:03:170:03:20

so it might bring some rain, at times,

0:03:200:03:22

but I suspect it will be cold enough for some wintry showers

0:03:220:03:24

mainly in the northern half of the UK.

0:03:240:03:26

I'll be back tomorrow night

0:03:260:03:27

with an update.
