:04:04. > :04:08.family have been a big help. Let's get a check on the weather.

:04:09. > :04:14.Good evening. It was certainly nice to see some sunshine today and have

:04:15. > :04:16.the lighter winds too. There were early morning showers initially

:04:17. > :04:19.across Greater Manchester. We're changing now throughout the

:04:20. > :04:23.night`time period. It's been a cold evening. Temperatures down to around

:04:24. > :04:27.two Celsius. We have seen a slight frost developing. Also, it is

:04:28. > :04:31.starting to turn misty. There's hill fog affecting the Pennines. This

:04:32. > :04:35.weather front starts to come in from the west. It works in through the

:04:36. > :04:38.morning tomorrow. We do start to see the wind picking up a little more.

:04:39. > :04:43.Blustery conditions tomorrow, rather than gale`force winds. A wet day on

:04:44. > :04:47.and off as well, as that rain works towards the north`east. Day time

:04:48. > :04:51.temperatures of nine Celsius. Slightly better weather on Tuesday,

:04:52. > :04:55.despite the fact it will be showery. Wednesday another decent day.

:04:56. > :04:57.That's it for now. I'm back next weekend. Hope you can join me then.

:04:58. > :05:11.Goodbye. Good evening. In the midst of any

:05:12. > :05:15.normal winter weather for the week ahead would be fairly unremarkable.

:05:16. > :05:19.Some rain in places, some strong winds at times, but of course we are

:05:20. > :05:22.in the midst of no normal winter. It is worth emphasising that with -

:05:23. > :05:29.the weather this week will be less angry and volatile overall, a fair

:05:30. > :05:32.bit calmer. Calmer but by no means dry. Outbreaks of rain will spread

:05:33. > :05:36.across much of the UK through the night. There will be some snow mixed

:05:37. > :05:38.in across the hills of central Scotland. Temperatures slowly

:05:39. > :05:42.starting to rise through the night but they could be at or below

:05:43. > :05:46.freezing across northern Scotland first thing, maybe a bit icy as the

:05:47. > :05:50.weather pushes northwards. A dull, damp, dismal Monday morning with

:05:51. > :05:54.outbreaks of rain covering much of the UK. The rain may not yet have

:05:55. > :05:58.reached the east coast of England, a misty and murky start here. The rain

:05:59. > :06:02.not too heavy for most but there will still be some heavy bursts

:06:03. > :06:05.particularly over south Wales and south-west England and it will be

:06:06. > :06:09.quite windy here through the day, although nothing like the storms of

:06:10. > :06:13.last week. As the wet weather pushes northwards there will be some snow

:06:14. > :06:17.even to relatively no levels across northern Scotland. It is a dull day

:06:18. > :06:19.with outbreaks of rain, but something a bit drier and
