Hello. Before we look ahead to the next ten days, let's look back at a

:00:00.:00:14.

record-breaking December. Rainfall figures for southern Scotland, we

had over 500 millimetres of rain. These figures were before the rain

:00:20.:00:27.

of the last 24 hours. Cumbria had almost 800 millimetres. More than

:00:28.:00:32.

that of a Wales, over a metre of Wales in December. -- metre of

:00:33.:00:41.

rain. This cloud has brought the latest rain, of the Atlantic. Some

:00:42.:00:46.

early showers on New Year 's morning. Sunny skies for England and

:00:47.:00:52.

Wales, downpours rushing into Northern Ireland. Heading east

:00:53.:00:56.

through the day. Southeast during daylight hours, dry and quite funny.

:00:57.:01:02.

Elsewhere, cold and possibly some snow and rain over the northern

:01:03.:01:06.

hills. Most downpours clearing during the evening. We are waiting

:01:07.:01:11.

for this area of low pressure to arrive from the south-west. For the

:01:12.:01:15.

midnight hour, it will be mostly dry. Risk of continuing overnight. I

New Year 's morning, looking at widespread frost in the countryside.

:01:21.:01:28.

It will be a bright start with some sunshine on New Year's Day, clouding

over from the south-west as rain pushes in two southern England and

:01:33.:01:36.

Wales, and eventually Northern Ireland. Further north and east,

staying dry and bright. There will be a wind picking up which will make

:01:40.:01:44.

it feel a bit chilly, especially after the early frost. We have low

:01:45.:01:48.

pressure heading our way for the start of the week. This will move

:01:49.:01:53.

slowly across the UK. Some strong winds, especially in the south-west

:01:54.:01:59.

of England and north-east Scotland. Looking at showers and rain to start

the weekend, not as much as we have seen recently. The air is not quite

:02:05.:02:09.

as warm. We need to keep an eye on this next area of low pressure

:02:10.:02:12.

coming in, this one is a bit deeper with some strong gale force winds

:02:13.:02:17.

around it. We will see a spell of rain which could be quite heavy,

:02:18.:02:23.

although not lasting too long. Accompanied by strong winds. We may

:02:24.:02:26.

see some impacts during the second half of the weekend. That band of

:02:39.:02:45.

tending to force low pressures to rise. Gradually becoming drier

:02:46.:02:49.

throughout the day. The rain not as heavy, still a lot of cloud around.

:02:50.:02:59.

Earlier this week, we had warm air in this position. Approaching the

:03:00.:03:03.

new year, we will find the jet stream further south. It will pick

up areas of low pressure and probably steer them a bit further

south. Changing the position for the new year, and we have this blocking

area of high pressure from Scandinavia. What does it mean? That

:03:18.:03:22.

northern parts of the UK will likely feel colder, but it will be a bit

:03:23.:03:29.

drier. Most of the rain will drive a bit further south across the
