we should see quite a bit of sunshine, i think, to start the new week of 2023. so for monday, the 2nd ofjanuary, it looks like it s going to be a much chillier day, but dry and bright with plenty of sunshine around. just a few showers in north west scotland, again, wintry nature temperatures four to eight degrees. and i think under those clear skies, that cooler air mass through monday night, we re likely to see a frost before this weather system starts to push in to the west. so it s all change once again. we start off chilly, bright, dry, central and eastern parts of the country for tuesday. 0ut west, though, it ll be turning windier or wetter and that rain will be turning to snow over the high ground of scotland as it bumps into the cold air. but we re starting to draw in some milder air once again from the south. so we re up to double figures, i think, across some southern and western areas still quite cool in the north and east. so move out of tuesday into wednesday this deep
it will turn cold underneath the clear skies, we are looking at patches of frost developing in the countryside. there will be more rain to come over the course of the weekend. i will have more on that a little bit later on. you are watching bbc news. here are the headlines. a sexual predator described as a danger to any woman has pleaded guilty to the murder of zara aleena in east london last summer. chancellorjeremy hunt denies tax rises and spending cuts are a raid on working people as analysis shows middle income earners will be hit particularly hard. yes, this is difficult, but there s a plan. we re going to get through it. we re going to bring inflation down, we re going to start to grow the economy much more healthily when we get to the other side. labour sasteremy hunt has picked the nation s pockets with stealth taxes . because we would have asked those with the broadest shoulders to pay more,
now it s time for a look at the weather. hello. the weather s looking a little mixed over the next couple of days, certainly today and tomorrow, a chance of catching some showers, but also plenty of spells of sunshine. by friday, it ll be very different. a big autumn low heading our way with heavy rain and strong winds. so here s the satellite picture from earlier on. and the cloud cover is quite varied across the uk. quite a cluster of showers this afternoon expected around the north east of england, which will then spread through yorkshire, move further southwards into the midlands, wales and eventually reach the south of england by the early hours of thursday morning. so a mixed picture overnight. the temperatures will also be varied overnight, four degrees, for example, in east anglia, but close to coastal areas here. 0ut west, i think around ten celsius. so the forecast for thursday shows this large area of low pressure spread across the continent, but much more vigorous areas of
countryside down to minus five. a cold start to saturday, but bright with sunshine. still some showers, but not as many as we have today. the showers mostly towards the north east of the uk, not as many showers further south and west. temperatures through the afternoon still be lee par for the time of yore, seven to 12 degrees. through saturday night with this ridge of high pressure, it is going to be cold and frosty. 0ut west this area of low pressure tries to work its way in, it will introduce more cloud. sundayy starting on a less cold note. most start with a frost and sunshine. through the day many of us will hold on to dry weather, but cloud will increase from if west. some rain in western parts. with southerly winds developing, the temperatures start to nudge up and that trend continuing into next week. in any sunshine it will feel warm with highs of 19 degrees. but
