Sunday which is Christmas Eve and

Monday which is Christmas day,

staying on the mild side. From all

of the London team I wish you a

happy Christmas and here is Darren

Bett with the national weather.

After Christmas it looks like the

weather pattern will change but up

until then for people travelling to

many problems on the way, not really

any cold air, a lot of cloud once

again, the wind picking up in the

next few days and we will see a bit

more rain coming into northern areas

too. The rain comes on the weather

front, yet to really arrive in

Scotland and Northern Ireland,

high-pressure dominating for most of

us, around the top of the area of

low pressure we are drawing in

Atlantic winds which still come with

lots of cloud. It is quite low

cloud, misty with hill fog around

too although the winds will pick up

across the northern half of the UK

with rain coming into the far north

of Scotland. Chilly for eastern

Scotland with the cloud then but

otherwise a very mild night and

temperatures eight or 9 degrees.

Saturday starts cloudy for many of

us it may stay that way as well. We

could see sunshine here and there,

particularly in northern areas with

stronger winds breaking of the cloud

ahead of the rain that's moving

southwards. Across southern areas of

the UK the winds will be lighter, we

still have this misty dank weather

over the hills in the west. May be

some brightness, sunshine across the

Midlands, East Wales, more likely in

the north-east of England. Gusty

winds here. Some sunshine in

Northern Ireland, Southern and

particularly eastern Scotland ahead

of the rain moving southwards with

heavy rain in the north west of

Scotland during the afternoon. In

the evening the band of rain

continues moving south, perhaps into

Cumbria, Northern Ireland, and then

having moved south it moves

northwards again into much of

Scotland. Elsewhere, generally dry,

cloudy and mild overnight, lows of

nine or 10 degrees. As we head into

Christmas Eve it is a familiar,

cloudy, mild and probably windier

story for England and Wales. The

winds are easing as the rain moves

southwards from Scotland into

Northern Ireland, is an wet weather

in the west of Scotland and Cumbria

it made writing in the touch behind

that rain in the north of Scotland,

otherwise mild and cloudy. What

about Christmas day? We have

stronger winds for England and

Wales, mild winds, ahead of the rain

which is starting to move its way

more south-eastwards, allowing some

slightly chilly air for Scotland and

Northern Ireland, perhaps a bit of

snow over the Scottish mountains.

But it's not really back cold the

air behind the weather front taking

rain eastwards overnight. For money

on Boxing Day will be a
