the 2022 bbc sports personality of the year is beth mead.the right direction so yeah, let's push in girls and keep doing the right thing. good evening. it's been a mild christmas day with plenty of showers around. but as the temperatures fall, particularly in the far north—west, we are likely to see some of those showers turning increasingly wintry. it's behind this weather front here, as the wind direction changes to a north—westerly. and so that means we could start to see some accumulations of snow even at lower levels, as much as three centimetres in the far north—west of scotland, perhaps at ten centimetres to wake up to to higher ground across scotland on boxing day morning. so, yes, still the risk of some further sleet and snow showers into boxing day, showers of rain into northern ireland and generally along west facing coasts of england and wales. further inland, away from the strength of that wind, we will see a little more shelter, a little more sunshine and a little more warmth, with temperatures peaking at 10 degrees, but feelin

the 2022 bbc sports personality of the year is beth mead.the right direction so yeah, let's keep pushing girls and let's keep doing the right thing. hello there. it looks like we're closing out 2022 on an unsettled note with low pressure nearby. we will see further cloud, outbreaks of rain throughout the day on new year's eve. some areas really will be quite wet and there is a chance of localised flooding in one or two locations as the ground is so saturated. so this is the weather front which will arrive during new year's eve. this is the low pressure which we had through this morning, which brought heavy rain. that's cleared out. it stays blustery across the uk, a bit of a sting in this low pressure�*s tail as we move through the overnight period across northern scotland. and quite a difference in temperatures. it is cold in the north, milder in the south, one or two showers around. clear spells, showers through this evening, overnight, but very windy for a time across the north and northeast of scotland, gusts 60, 70 miles an hour there.
