Hello. Say what you like about dreaming of a white Christmas | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
but at least this mild and quiet weather is kind to anyone | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
making pre-Christmas travel. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
But things could change right after Christmas Day | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
as it turns colder and there is a risk of some snow. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
This is the mild air we have now through Christmas Eve | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
into Christmas Day, but late on on Christmas Day, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
but more especially going into Boxing Day, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
notice the colder air starting to move south across the UK again, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
and it's Boxing Day and a few days beyond in that colder air, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
there is a risk of some snow, as I'll show you in a moment. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Now, this for Christmas Eve is the mild weather. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Around this area, high pressure, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
the flow of air coming in from the Atlantic, still a moist flow, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
still plenty of cloud and still this weather front, which even | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
into Christmas Day, will be hanging around the same part of the UK. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
So, here is the rain from it on Christmas Eve. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Several hours of quite heavy rain in western Scotland. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
In the hills, we could see up to 100 millimetres. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Turning wetter across more of Northern Ireland, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
that rain pushing into Cumbria, where it will be quite heavy. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
To the south of that, mainly dry, often cloudy. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
North of it, a few brighter breaks into northern Scotland. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
And on through Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
overnight, notice still some outbreaks of rain then across | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Northern Ireland into Scotland and the far north of England. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
South of that, a bit of patchy light rain and drizzle, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
and nearly for all of us, as Christmas Day begins, it will be | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
frost free, it will be mild, it will be a green Christmas Day. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
And still that weather front | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
is close to Scotland and Northern Ireland | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
but it is only gradually later on Christmas Day into Boxing Day | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
finally starts to move further east. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
But notice, as we go on through Christmas Day | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
still some uncertainty about the detail and position, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
but it's going to hang around for quite some time. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Central belt, southern Scotland, the east of Northern Ireland, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
gradually pushing into Wales and western England later in the day. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
And it is the boundary between the very mild Christmas Day that | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
a large part of England and Wales will have | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
and a colder one for those parts of Scotland | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
and Northern Ireland turning drier. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
And as we look at things through Christmas Day night | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
and into Boxing Day, as this system clears away | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
and the colder air just tucks in behind, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
we could see some late snow on Christmas Day | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
into Boxing Day morning | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
on some of the hills as it pulls away eastwards. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
And then on Boxing Day, once that has gone, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
we have this colder flow of air. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Remember that cold air moving south across us, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
single figure temperatures. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
And then, this weather system coming into the south west, here | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
is this area of low pressure going from Boxing Day and into Wednesday. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
And it's from this area of low pressure, pushing that moisture | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
into the cold air, we could see some snow across some | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
southern parts, maybe not just on hills, that is one to watch. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
During Wednesday, that clears away eastwards, wintry showers, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
particularly to coastal areas on Wednesday, and for some of us, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
low single figures for the top temperature. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
And then on Thursday, that cold air, frosty start, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
another weather system targeting southern parts of the UK | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
and again we could see some snowfall out of this, initially | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
and particularly to hills as it moves in. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
So, just bear in mind for a time right after Christmas, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
there could be some travel impacts from wintry weather. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
But as we go into the following weekend, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
the last weekend of 2017, it is low pressure dominating things, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
though things turn a little bit milder once again. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
It will be unsettled the last few days of the year | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
into the start of 2018, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
we're more looking at rain rather than anything else, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
and some northern hills could see a bit of snow out | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
as the weather system is moving through. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
But we are concerned then about the strength of wind which could be | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
disruptive from the weather systems moving through | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
right at the end of the year into the start of 2018. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
