very well and for animals like meerkats, we know we have got

ten animals in here, and it is something

that is easy to do. Seven gorillas, three pygmy hippos,

UK going back to 1910. We will start 2017 on a decidedly cold note, but

:06:19.:06:23.

prior to them, through the course of tomorrow, it will be a fairly mild

:06:24.:06:27.

day, it is looking dry or thereabouts but by the time we get

:06:28.:06:31.

to midnight and into New Year's Day, there might be some rain around but

:06:32.:06:34.

most of the rain will arrive in the early hours and it is behind that

:06:35.:06:44.

that we find colder air appearing from the North, quite quickly. Here

:06:45.:06:47.

is a wider look at how the story unfolds. A warning for fall, not as

:06:48.:06:49.

extensive as this morning. You will notice the cold front running

:06:50.:06:52.

southwards, through late tomorrow night and in comes the colder air

:06:53.:06:56.

which we can trace all the way back up to the Arctic Circle. For

:06:57.:07:00.

tonight, temperatures should remain frost free. There will be fog

around, quite dense in places, watch out for that tomorrow morning,

:07:09.:07:11.

particularly in parts of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. When that

:07:12.:07:15.

clears, we will have generally a lot of cloud, some brighter spells, it

:07:16.:07:19.

will remain dry in the South West until we get laid into the evening,

:07:20.:07:23.

approaching midnight, in comes the cold front. -- late into the

:07:24.:07:30.

evening. Most of the rain holding off until the early hours of Sunday.

:07:31.:07:36.

Temperatures will be fairly mild, between nine and 10 degrees, but

:07:37.:07:40.

watch the change as we head into New Year's Day and I think it will be

:07:41.:07:44.

even colder as we head into Monday. That visit from me.

:07:45.:07:46.

I'm back with an update in the late news.

:07:47.:07:49.

Good evening, fog has been a problem in recent days, slow changes over

:07:50.:08:15.

the next 48 hours or so as this weather front moves south bringing

:08:16.:08:20.

rain and behind it, much cleaner, cold arctic air which will sweep
