10:14 pm
across the northern half of the uk in particular and then we are in a pattern of some sunshine but blustery showers and quite wintry some places as it turns cold and then low pressure returns bringing more wet weather towards the end of the week. let's take it all day by day. sunday morning, after more heavy rain overnight that will clear away on sunday thankfully to leave sunny skies and a few showers. later in the afternoon, very few showers left around. the wind is not quite as strong, gusts a bit higher than this, these are average speeds, and with the wind easing a bit and more in the way of afternoon sunshine, not feeling quite as chilly as it did during saturday. but then we are watching the next area of wet and windy weather coming into the uk. it is this low pressure system that will particularly target the northern half of the uk with its rain and snow in places and with the strongest winds. and with a chance of seeing some snow in the central belt of scotland during the monday morning rush hour before it turns to rain, that snow pushing further north across scotland.
10:15 pm
a band of rain diving south across england and wales. behind that, brighter skies, few showers perhaps, but another day with strong gusty winds and a possibility particularly in scotland of seeing some wind gusts around 70mph. again some disruptive weather around again on monday and temperatures clinging on to double figures in some areas of the uk. it is behind this latest area of low pressure, as low pressure sets itself up close to iceland, we get into a flow of cold air coming down from the north—west with showers. perhaps a longer spell of rain moving down through wales and into southern england on through tuesday. as it turns colder from the north—west, the showers will turn increasingly wintry and to higher ground, even towards southern parts of the uk as we end tuesday, as those temperatures come down into single figures. it is still going to be blustery, not as windy as it was on monday but there is a wind chill factor with all of this as well. and on wednesday as well there are sunny spells and showers and wintry in places,
10:16 pm
but then as they fade away at the end of wednesday, we wait for the next area of low pressure to come in. still some uncertainty about the exact position and detail associated with this as we go into thursday but it looks like bringing another spell of windy and wet weather northwards. they will be at least some hill snow out of this as it pushes northwards into colder air. it may not look exactly like this on thursday as we get to it but check back for details. as that moves through we import a milder air from the south. to give you an idea into next weekend how things are shaping up, low pressure very much in charge and that does mean some further wet weather at times in places. but of course, it is too early to tell the exact details as to who will see the most of that wet weather. coming up in the week ahead, there will be more rain at times, it will often be windy and it will turn colder for a time so that means some snow in places. and of course, by the time we get into next weekend, we are seeing the back of february and hello to march with the hope that march will bring
