:04:07. > :04:10.Let's get a look at the forecast for the start of the Christmas week
:04:11. > :04:17.Good evening. It was little bit today and that was accentuated by a
:04:18. > :04:21.gusty wind and places. As we go to the rest of the of the week, the
:04:22. > :04:25.winds are often going to be the feature. There is more rain showers
:04:26. > :04:29.forecast and it won't be quite as much as we have been used to lately.
:04:30. > :04:33.Today we had a few showers coming in on the breeze. A few of those for a
:04:34. > :04:37.time to the best part overnight, particularly towards the north and
:04:38. > :04:41.west but for many of us will die away. Temperatures and towns dipping
:04:42. > :04:44.to five or 6 degrees but rural spots could be a little bit lower support
:04:45. > :04:48.a chilly night in places. Towards the west the change on the way. It
:04:49. > :04:51.will eventually brighten up tomorrow but first thing in the morning it is
:04:52. > :04:56.going to bring us a wet and windy start so bear that in mind. Through
:04:57. > :04:59.the morning rush-hour there could be surface water to content was on the
:05:00. > :05:02.roads. That band of persistence frameworks its way eastwards through
:05:03. > :05:05.the morning, along with those brisk winds and eventually we'll see
:05:06. > :05:09.something brighter tucking in behind it later in the morning. As we will
:05:10. > :05:13.cross the Republic of Ireland as that rain moves away. The wet and
:05:14. > :05:16.windy weather extended to Scotland and Stansted the snow over the
:05:17. > :05:20.mountains. Into north-west England, Wales and into the south-west. Later
:05:21. > :05:24.in the date creeps towards the south-east. Temperatures still not
:05:25. > :05:27.bad here. And they have that blustery wind. It is still going to
:05:28. > :05:32.be quite gusty for Northern Ireland, the afternoon at a much cheerier
:05:33. > :05:36.picture with some sunshine and a lot of dry weather. Temperatures around
:05:37. > :05:41.nine or 10 degrees. Pretty similar to today and we have that gusty wind
:05:42. > :05:45.making it feel quite cool. As we go through the rest of the week plenty
:05:46. > :05:49.of highs of bars still on the charts so the winds are going to be a
:05:50. > :05:52.feature and we were various weather fronts running through as well. We
:05:53. > :05:55.will find these wet and windy spells come along at night time so we get
:05:56. > :05:59.the first of those coming through tomorrow night and then sinks is way
:06:00. > :06:03.southwards and England and Wales during Tuesday, brightening up with
:06:04. > :06:06.showers behind towards the north-west. On Wednesday it is
:06:07. > :06:11.generally a bright, breezy day for many. The showers mainly confined to
:06:12. > :06:14.the north-west in Scotland. Another weather system for Wednesday night
:06:15. > :06:18.once pushes through and it could be chilly on Christmas Eve.
