hello. we've seen some fairly disruptive weather to get the brand—new year under way. and over the last few days, whether that has been from extensive snowfall or indeed from widespread flooding, it's been the same weather system responsible. now, the good news is that weather system is now moving only slowly, but off in towards northern europe — have big impacts on tuesday in denmark, norway and sweden. but as it's only moving slowly, we'll remain on the western side of it and it's on the western side where we continue to bring the winds down from the north. so for the rest of the working week it does stay cold. sharp overnight frost risk of ice, and we could see some of the lowest temperatures so far this winter by night later in the week, an ongoing risk of some snow, too. now for the morning on tuesday morning it's ice, which will be the widespread risk for some wintry showers overnight, particularly the north and west. and temperatures not quite as low as they were on monday morning for some — that's because more of a breeze. that breeze bringing frequent snow showers in northern scotland to begin with. some of those pushing into central southern scotland for a time during the middle part of the day. rain, sleet and snow showers in northern ireland, north west england, north—west midlands and wales. early showers across some southern counties of england. it should depart and really, for many of you, a much

brighter day on tuesday. a lot more sunshine around, but still cold — two to around six celsius, added wind chill to boot. now it still remains blustery in the north of scotland going into tuesday night — further snow flurries here. one or two elsewhere but some clearer skies, lighter winds developing through the night. so more widely a sharp frost to take us into wednesday morning. certainly a colder morning and wednesday morning in southern parts, so that will have an impact later in the day. some dense patches of freezing fog north midlands, north west england and ireland to begin with. still some snow flurries in the north of scotland, but actually, for many, a dry and bright day, that's providing you're not stuck with the lingering fog, but a shield of cloud coming over later on across southern parts of england and wales. temperatures here around two to five degrees, some in the north not getting above freezing. but with the cold air in place and by the end of the day, this weather system just scraping into southern counties of england, bumping into that cold air, there is still the potential that we could see
2:58 am
a covering of snow late wednesday and into wednesday night across some of these southern counties. one to watch that dividing line could change, but certainly south of the m4 for now. maybe it could be further away in france. either way, it pulls away and then into thursday back to more widespread northerly winds. bring in some showers around scotland down some of these western fringes. many, though, will have a dry, sunny and pretty cold day again, with temperatures struggling to get above freezing in some areas and potentially one of the coldest nights yet to come on thursday night.
