i think all of us are going to feel the chilly air arriving on wednesday. at the moment, there's some rain across quite a few areas of the uk. snow, too, falling across parts of scotland, as this cold air all the way from the arctic is starting to set in. it's not desperately cold air, but it is going to feel nippy on wednesday, particularly because of the strength of the wind. so, through early wednesday, we have still south—westerlies in the south—east of the country. so here it's not too cold — around, say, 8—5 degrees. but the cold air has already set in across northern areas. and you can see the white here — that's where the wintry showers are. so let's start with scotland, this is 8:00am in the morning. and some of the conditions, weather conditions, on these upper—levels routes here, the roads will not be great first thing in the morning, in scotland, possibly northern ireland as well, with those wintry showers coming through, driven by the strong winds. icy patches, as well, in a few places. to the south of that, it's cloudy with some rain. so the morning could be quite wet for some of us across southern areas. this is a cold front. it will be quickly moving
5:56 am
away towards the east, and behind it, the skies are going to brighten up. so actually, once the rain clears away from the south, the sun will come out, it will feel better, but wintry showers will be filtering in with that wind. so i think many north—western areas here will get some of these showers, hail, possibly thunder, as well, if you're unlucky. to the south of that, i think lots of sunny spells around, but it will be quite windy, and it is going to feel cold. these are the temperatures in the afternoon, 3—4 degrees. you add the wind, it feels quite a bit colder. and that bluster is with us into wednesday evening, and further wintry showers are on the way. when i say wintry showers, it's sort of a mix of rain and sleet. most of it will be in fact rain. how are we doing compared to the rest of europe? that weather front you can clearly see moving across france, there on wednesday. that's that cold front moving through, the cold air digging in from the north, and bringing some snow there across parts of scandinavia. a little bit too mild, for this part of the world, for widespread snow. so what's happening on thursday, then? thursday, still the winds coming in from the north,
5:57 am
so it's going to feel chilly. blustery, i think particularly on that north sea coast, so newcastle, hull and norwich will feel cold. but the winds are starting to ease a little bit here across western areas and, by the time we get to friday, it's a lot calmer, the winds are lighter. still chilly — temperatures of around about 6 degress — but notice there's a shift in the wind here. that's another weather front approaching which is going to bring some slightly milder air, we think, on saturday, and it looks like rain is on the way for some of us this weekend. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. theresa may insists she's not a quitter as she touches down in china. after criticism from conservative mps, the prime minister has defended her leadership saying she's in it for the long—haul. good morning, it's wednesday the 31st of january.
