over several days, there was rioting across england and northern ireland.hose chopsticks now...? this was the historic moment that spacex caught a rocket booster on the launchpad. oh, my goodness, they've done it! they've done it first time! that was absolutely astonishing! one of the many moments this year when the private sector showed that it could do space just as well and cheaper than nasa. billionaire jared isaacman became the first privately—funded individual to walk in space. and lift off... but it wasn't plain sailing for private industry. astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams were sent to the international space station on a brand—new spacecraft called starliner, developed by boeing. but because of technical issues, they couldn't come back on starliner, leaving them there for months rather than weeks. but they didn't seem to mind. this year also saw nasa send a probe to one of the moons ofjupiter called europa, which has an unusual icy surface. you can see cracks and ridges, which has been caused byjupiter�*s powerful gravity stretching and s

so i think a better chance of seeing some sunny spells across england and wales on sunday. northernpells as well. but for scotland, this weather front becomes slow—moving. it is set to bring some heavy and persistent rain, particularly in the northwest of scotland, and in fact that rain is set to continue not only on sunday but into monday and tuesday as well. will be mild for most of us, a little bit colder in the far north, and as we go through sunday night into monday, that weather front sinks southwards, but then bends northwards again, bringing rain back into scotland and some snow, particularly over high ground in the north of scotland. further south, drier conditions, a mix of cloud and some sunny spells, mild in the south but much colder further north and through the end of 2024 into the start of 2025, it will turn colder for all of us, turning windy as well. there will be some rain. there may be some snow. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: thick fog is causing travel disruption around the uk and forecasters warn it

further south for northern ireland, central southern scotland and down into northern england, it's drygland and wales developing as the westerly wind picks up. and of course it's a lot milder here than it was yesterday underneath all of that mist and fog. now overnight tonight, the rain for northwest scotland is going to push further eastwards again. it will be heavy and persistent, turning to snow over the hills. further south it is largely dry, mixture of cloud and some clearer spells and generally a mild start to the day tomorrow. now the rain could cause some issues in scotland on monday and tuesday, the rainfall totals will really start to rack up. it will be relentless and there will be added snow as well. and then as the snow melts, it will just add to those rainfall totals. there could be some localised flooding and of course some travel disruption. bearing in mind that tuesday is new year's eve, lots of people out and about, of course. but on monday then there'll still be some wintry over the hills of the far north. all of this set to sink further southwards across central sou

out of scotland, but a rash of showers tucking in behind — the rain will tend to sit across northern englandtern england windy to end the day, but largely fine and dry. the rain across wales, across northern england, and then to the north and west of that, it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers to close out the day. still double digits here, but in the far north of scotland, already in the cold air, just a couple of degrees above freezing for the northern isles. so as we move out of new year's eve into new year's day, we'll have this conveyer belt of moisture pushing in from the west. that means a day of relentless heavy rain sinking its way across central and southern england, and it will linger throughout the afternoon. windy with it, as well. behind, sunny spells and scattered showers. here, the wind direction swinging round to a northerly. some of those showers could be wintry in nature, with the strongest of the gusts perhaps with the heaviest of the rain, gusts in excess of 55—60 mph. here, it will stay still relatively mild, but the colder air starting to dig in across scot

now, if you are going to be celebrating new year in wales and northern england, there's a good chanceover the hills and it may well lead to some flooding as well. that band of rain is going to move southwards on new year's day, but on it and just ahead of it, it's going to be very windy. and then to the north, following the rain, snow and ice continues across northern scotland and a wintry mix of rain and hill snow moves down across northern ireland, southern scotland, eventually into northern england as things get colder. temperatures are going to be dropping through the day for most of us, the last of any mild air is in the far southeast of england, where we end the day wet and windy. that weather front, then, does move away, and then we chase our weather all the way up to the north. it's a north—northwesterly wind that's coming down, and that's going to bring cold air across the whole of the country. and by the time we get to thursday morning, there'll be a widespread frost this time. there could be some icy patches from earlier showers too. most of the snow showers will continue t

now, if you are going to be celebrating new year in wales and northern england, there's a good chance band of rain is going to move southwards on new year's day, but on it and just ahead of it, it's going to be very windy. and then to the north, following the rain, snow and ice continues across northern scotland and a wintry mix of rain and hill snow moves down across northern ireland, southern scotland, eventually into northern england as things get colder. temperatures are going to be dropping through the day for most of us, the last of any mild air is in the far south east of england, where we end the day wet and windy. that weather front, then, does move away, and then we chase our weather all the way up to the north. it's a north to northwesterly wind that's coming down, and that's going to bring cold air across the whole of the country. and by the time we get to thursday morning, there'll be a widespread frost this time. there could be some icy patches from earlier showers to most of the snow showers will continue to affect northern parts of scotland. there could be one or two w

but across southwest england, northern ireland, western scotland, we'll start to see a weather front and increasing breeze here, but for most, it stays dry through the day, but a cold one to come, temperatures struggling to get above freezing across scotland, to around four or five degrees in the south. but as that rain bumps into the cold air across scotland during tuesday evening, we could see a spell of fairly significant hill snow here, with some accumulations, and maybe some for northern england, the cumbrian fells, north wales, as we move through tuesday night. but as the weather front moves southwards and eastwards, it tends to fizzle out, so no more than a band of cloud, with a few showers across southern areas. but again, it's going to be another cold night to come, a touch of frost in there, and possibly some ice, too. so, wednesday, then, it should be a mostly dry day once again, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. so plenty of sunshine around, one or two showers around coastalareas, but later in the day, we'll start to see the next weather front arriving across western ar
