:00:08. > :00:15.Hello again. Nelson's flag ship HMS victory, was launched in 1765 and

:00:16. > :00:19.you can still see it today in Portsmouth Harbour. But through the

:00:20. > :00:22.whole of that history, you will struggle to find a wetter winter

:00:23. > :00:27.than this one across southern England. Scotland has already been

:00:28. > :00:32.in the record books. Their December was the wettest since standardised

:00:33. > :00:36.records began about 100 years ago. There's plenty more where that came

:00:37. > :00:41.from. Another storm is knocking on the door and will affect the whole

:00:42. > :00:44.of Western Europe, steaming in from the Atlantic. Giving us a steady

:00:45. > :00:50.stream of rain in most places. Severe gales ahead of that rain

:00:51. > :00:55.gusts up to 60 mph. Battering the coasts once again. For the North,

:00:56. > :01:00.across the Scottish mountains yet more snow. It's really piling up

:01:01. > :01:02.here at the moment. A cold night for northern Scotland, elsewhere the

:01:03. > :01:09.temperature is holding up quite well. Tomorrow it is wind that we

:01:10. > :01:15.have to focus on. That will be the main courts of concern, particularly

:01:16. > :01:18.for the South. You can see that spiralling in towards Northern

:01:19. > :01:22.Ireland. Lots of blustery showers ahead of it as well. Still falling

:01:23. > :01:26.snow across the Scottish mountains, although Caithness and Sutherland

:01:27. > :01:32.probably getting away with a fairly dry day. Look at all the. Northern

:01:33. > :01:36.England, down to them West Midlands and into Wales. Fewer showers

:01:37. > :01:41.further east, but it's the winds further west that we are concerned

:01:42. > :01:46.about. Severe gales, gusts up to 70 mph. They will keep blowing for

:01:47. > :01:51.hours on end, building up some really big seas, crashing into those

:01:52. > :01:55.coasts will stop the severe weather continuing through into the early

:01:56. > :01:59.part of Sunday, until the Sting finally goes out of the winds. The

:02:00. > :02:09.showers gradually dying away on Sunday very slowly. Monday, a

:02:10. > :02:14.slightly quieter day. It should be drier, brighter, not as windy but

:02:15. > :02:18.feeling a little chilly in the breeze. If we take a look at the

:02:19. > :02:22.chart for late on Monday into Tuesday, it's not a great site.

:02:23. > :02:26.There is some uncertainty about how intense this next area of low

:02:27. > :02:30.pressure is likely to be, but it tells you there's potential there to

:02:31. > :02:31.get more stormy weather to head our way.
