:06:46. > :06:47.breeze is picking up at the moment and through tonight it is going to
:06:48. > :06:52.be bringing more in the way of cloud. It's still mainly dry and
:06:53. > :06:56.because we have that blanket of cloud overhead, it should stay
:06:57. > :07:00.frost-free, temperatures no lower than six or seven Celsius. Into
:07:01. > :07:04.tomorrow, a cloudy, breezy day more so than today, still mainly dry, but

:07:11. > :07:13.a few patches of drizzle mainly towards the west, otherwise it is
:07:14. > :07:17.dry, but we do have windier weather across the north of Scotland into
:07:18. > :07:22.the northwest of Scotland. Elsewhere, apart from the odd shower
:07:23. > :07:26.to western coast, it is mainly dry, may be a few dry intervals to the
:07:27. > :07:31.East Coast and one or two patches of fog when it stays chilly. Elsewhere,
:07:32. > :07:33.a lot of cloud but also a bit milder, particularly the further
:07:34. > :07:37.north and west Europe. It looks like a milder day for Northern Ireland in
:07:38. > :07:42.the afternoon, temp just higher than today at 11 or 12 Celsius. Still a
:07:43. > :07:45.fair amount of cloud and breeze so not much in the way of sunshine.
:07:46. > :07:48.That takes us into New Year's Eve and changes on the way, we have the
:07:49. > :07:53.weather front living in and the isobars gathering, which means
:07:54. > :08:01.increasing winter so it will become quite windy on New Year's Eve. A dry
:08:02. > :08:05.start, perhaps bright spells, milder head of the rain, temperatures at
:08:06. > :08:09.1011 Celsius but the rain moves in from the northwest to the afternoon
:08:10. > :08:12.and into the evening. All there for many of us, clearing out of the way
:08:13. > :08:16.by the time we get to the midnight celebrations. Behind the rain, we
