hello, there. after the record temperatures at new year's eve and new year's day, the week ahead is going to feel very different. it is turning colder. nothing exceptionally cold, just the sort of whether we should be getting, really, this time of the year. the first signs that colder air arrives in northern scotland by the morning, follows a band of wet weather that will continue to move its way southwards. ahead of that, for much of the uk, it is a mild start, and for england and wales there will be some sunshine, a few blustery showers, too. that band of wet weather moves southwards across scotland, a little sleet and snow in the hills. it turns wetter across northern ireland, some rain arrives into the far north of england, and to the north of that, with a northerly wind, the air is getting colder. but across most of england and wales we've got one more day of mild weather, the temperatures in double figures.
2:58 pm
but instead of a southerly wind that brought those high temperatures over the new year, it's a northerly wind that's going to come pushing down across the whole of the country, and drag that colder air southwards, as well. with the clearer skies developing overnight, we are going to have a frost, i think, in scotland, in northern parts of england, perhaps northern ireland on tuesday morning, and because the air is getting colder, though showers in northern scotland are turning more to snow, even to low levels, as well. but it's over the high level routes that is going to be some blizzards and drifting, with gales or severe gales. we've still got the last of the mild and damp weather to clear away from east anglia and the south—east early on tuesday, then we are all in the colder air, cold northerly wind. a few wintry showers coming into some of the western parts of the uk, and, of course, it will feel much colder. those temperatures are going to be quite a shock to the system when you consider how mild it has been of late. we start with a little more frost more widely, i think, on wednesday. those cold winds will tend to ease wintry showers will move away. in most places it's going to turn dry and quite sunny.
2:59 pm
we are still on the chilly side, although these temperatures are near—normal, really, for this time of year. it will get cold very quickly during wednesday evening, wednesday night ahead of the next weather system that's sweeping in from the atlantic. that will bring with it some stronger winds, but as it's moving into colder air, there could be a bit of snow for a while, particularly in the hills in scotland, and then that band of wet weather continues to work its way eastward through the day. it will be followed by some sunshine and showers, some strong and gusty winds around, as well, could make double figures in the south. no signs of anything any warmer across northern parts of the uk.
