ben philip is in torpins in aberdeenshire for us. is it getting any easier there? well, people in the north—east of scotland are still feeling the after—effects of storm arwen, which batted the area on friday and into saturday. over the weekend a major incident was declared due to this storm impact. today school and vaccination centres across aberdeenshire are closed and thousands are without power, internet, running water and heating. here in the village of torphins, locals are facing a third day without power. a stall has been set “p without power. a stall has been set up by without power. a stall has been set up by a nearby cafe to provide essential supplies including hot food and drinks and bottled water. a few of the locals are here around the fire pit to try and get a bit of wants. one person we spoke to who received a bacon sandwich said it was like winning the lottery. the energy provider ssen said the storm has caused catastrophic damage and engineers are working to try and get people back online. 2a,000 customers are still without power and some peo

so far, the strongest wind gusts i've seen have been across coastal regions of aberdeenshire. inverbervie picking up a top gust of 78 mph. not too far behind, northumberland — 7a mph gust of wind here. those wind gusts strong enough to bring down some trees, no doubt some transport disruption out and about as we head into saturday. the peak red weather warning lapses, though, during the early hours of saturday and, as our low pressure moves southward, we'll be left with two regions of strong winds — one affecting eastern areas of scotland and northeast england, and another for wales and southwest england. both of these areas will see gusts of wind around about 60—70 mph, so still strong enough to bring down some trees. we could see some further disruption — and, as well as that, we've got some rain, some heavy snow over high ground, particularly the southern uplands and into the high highlands and over the high parts of the pennines, the cheviots, as well. could see some disruptive falls of snow high up. even low down, you might see a little bit of snowjust for a time

in fact in aberdeen we saw a high of 17 and in aberdeenshire, generally, there was a lot of blue sky and sunshine, particularly in the morning. but let's just fast—forward a few days. all is set to change, notjust in aberdeenshire, but a cold northerly wind will bring a dramatic change to the feel of the weather i suspect right across the country. so, get out and enjoy saturday's weather if you can. still under this influence of high pressure, still relatively mild ahead of this frontal system that's going to continue to bring some outbreaks of rain out of scotland into northern ireland, gradually drifting towards northwest england and north wales. a very weak affair by then, some scattered sharp showers tucking in behind. now, ahead of that weather front, we will continue to see some well broken cloud with some glimpses of sunshine with highs of 12 celsius, but behind it, those temperatures are starting to fall away, and there will be plenty of frequent showers with that brisk northerly wind. the real cold air, though, is set to arrive during saturday into sunday. as it weather fr

in aberdeenshire, 17 degrees, about eight or 9 degrees above what we would expect for the time of year. saturday will be seen as the transition day, the transition into something much, much colder and it is notjust aberdeenshire, it is widely across the british isles. on sunday, the wind flicks round to the north, it comes from a long way north as well and then come monday, the high pressurejust begins to build in, forcing fronts to the northern half of the british isles and cutting of that straight northerly flow. but sunday is going to be a bitter day, a lot of showers running into northern and eastern areas, one or two dribbling through the north channel into wales and the south—west and these are the best of the temperatures that i can find for you. 6—9 , many of us will be below the seasonal norm. the showers eventually, and it will take a time, beginning to fade away as the high pressure builds in from the atlantic. it will keep them going close by the eastern shores and where the skies are clear, under the influence of the high pressure, here again we will see a widespread f

our correspondent lorna gordon reports from aberdeenshire. it has been relentless. for days now, hundreds of engineers have been working to restore supplies to thousands of homes, and some customers still have no idea when their power will be back on. patrick and debbiejamieson say they've been struggling for reliable updates and are now hunkering down for another night without mains power. it was friday, saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday now. without power? without power and temperatures have been between —5 and —10 in the evenings. what have you been doing for heating? just wrapping up very warm, trying to keep close together. i remember the �*70s and the power cuts very well, but not as bad as this. this is the worst it's ever been. across aberdeenshire, people have been grappling with the aftermath of storm arwen. they've been checking on neighbours, offering food. how are you doing? surviving? it's a nightmare, isn't it? it is. i've got three layers on and i'm freezing. all thse houses around here are granite, so when they get cold, they get really, re

just across the board, though, it is a mild day, even after the chilly start in parts of aberdeenshire, but it's towards the north and west of scotland you see this whiter cloud from earlier pushing on from the atlantic, this is going to produce heavy rain we go through the day, for the highlands and islands in particular. you can see it pushing in with the strengthening breeze. still a bit of drizzle through eastern scotland into the start of the afternoon, still some bouts of rain or drizzle, east anglia, the south—east, but even those will become less numerous through the day. and a bit cloudy and drizzly around the western coasts but for most it will be a dry afternoon, light winds but pleasant enough where sunshine through. the strongest of the breeze out towards scotland and western scotland and northern ireland but it's here where that breeze is actually bringing in the milder air, 13 to 15 degrees high, most other areas around 11 to 13 celsius. as we go through this evening and overnight clear skies across england and wales, will see some mist and fog patches form, but for sc

all schools in aberdeenshire will remains closed until wednesday at the earliest. parts of wales and the midlands have also been badly affected — alexandra mackenzie reports storm arwen brought winds of over 90 mph. the damage caused was extensive. scottish power said it was the worst in many years — like here in lockerbie. trees were blown onto power lines. in the town of kintore in aberdeenshire, people are doing what they can to stay warm and fed. but they don't know when their electricity will be restored. we've had no power since friday night, when some big trees took down the cables beside our house. so we've got my 97—year—old dad, he's is in the village, so he's got power now, thankfully. but it doesn't look as though we'll be getting any power any time soon. thousands of people in wales are also without power. carmarthenshire is one of the worst—affected areas, and attempts to resolve the problem resumed early this morning. we rely heavily on electric for everything in the household now. we can't even make a cup of tea. the simple things in life

so far, the strongest wind gusts i've seen have been across coastal regions of aberdeenshire. inverbervie picking up a top gust of 78mph. not too far behind, northumberland — 74mph gust of wind here. those wind gusts strong enough to bring down some trees, no doubt some transport disruption out and about as we head into saturday. the peak red weather warning lapses, though, during the early hours of saturday and, as our low pressure moves southward, we'll be left with two regions of strong winds — one affecting eastern areas of scotland and north—east england, and another for wales and south—west england. both of these areas will see gusts of wind around about 60—70mph, so still strong enough to bring down some trees. we could see some further disruption — and, as well as that, we've got some rain, some heavy snow over high ground, particularly the southern uplands and into the high highlands and over the high parts of the pennines, the cheviots, as well. could see some disruptive falls of snow high up. even low down, you might see a little bit of snowjust for a ti

in fact, we had 17 degrees across aberdeenshire because we're bathed in these south—westerly atlantic winds. but it is going to change through the course of saturday and sunday as we get that arctic air in. so, for what remains of the evening, it's largely dry, just misty and drizzly in the west, but you can see the heavy rain advancing on our cold weather front in the north. so, quite wet for northern and western scotland by the end of the night. quite mild, though, a few spot down to 6—7 degrees celsius, a little bit of mist and fog in the gaps, which will lift during the course of saturday morning. then we'll see some brightness developing, but there's quite a lot of drizzly rain in some coastal and hillier areas, and then on this weatherfront, some more significant rain coming southwards. behind it, temperatures will actually drop during the day, back down to around about average, with some sunshine, but also some showers. and those showers will filtrate further southwards on sunday, as will the cold air. it will feel much colder for all, particularly accentuated by the brisk wi

that's exactly what happened on thursday, with temperatures peaking just over 16 celsius in parts of aberdeenshire. now for many, we are under this influence of high pressure, and a south—westerly flow is driving in a lot of cloud, but a lot of warmth with it. yes, a weather front into the far north, but it means we start off on an incredibly mild start this morning — these are more akin to daytime maximums at this time of year. so, double digits quite widely first thing. the cloud, however, thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle, quite a damp, murky start out to the west, and our weather front producing some heavy, persistent rain to the far north of scotland and the northern isles. top temperatures, though, with a little bit of brightness into eastern scotland, maybe northeast england, once again 14—15, maybe 16 celsius. however, that front will gradually sink its way south through the weekend — it's a cold front, allowing the wind direction to change to a northerly and to bring quite a different feel to the weather as we go through the weekend. so on saturday, it'll weaken off consid

recent hours — and so far, the strongest wind gusts that i've seen have been across coastal reaches of aberdeenshire. inverbervie had about 78 mph gusts. we had a 74 recorded in parts of northumberland. now, the red weather warning — the top level weather warning — lapses during the early hours of saturday morning. we'll be left, then, with two zones of very strong winds — one across east scotland, north east england, and another zone affecting wales and the southwest. both of these regions getting gusts of around 60—70 mph — its strong enough to bring down some trees, so the risk of disruption is there as we head into saturday morning. and, as well is that, we've got some rain, some snow around, as well, potentially some large accumulations over the high ground of northern england and high ground of scotland, as well. we might even see a bit of snow for a time at low levels, but it will melt away readily. much of this will be falling as rain and sleet through the day. it will feel very cold, temperatures at best 3—4 celsius for some — factor in those winds, it will feel freezing. this

that's exactly what happened on thursday with temperatures peaking just over 16 degrees in parts of aberdeenshire. now for many, we are under this influence of high pressure and a south—westerly flow is driving in a lot of cloud, but a lot of warmth with it. yes, a weather front into the far north, but it means that we start off on an incredibly mild start this morning — these are more akin to daytime maximums at this time of year. so, double digits quite widely first thing. the cloud, however, thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle — quite a damp, murky start out to the west — and our weather front producing some heavy, persistent rain to the far north of scotland and the northern isles. top temperatures, though, with a little bit of brightness into eastern scotland, maybe north—east england, once again 14—15, maybe 16 degrees. however, that front will gradually sink its way south through the weekend. it's a cold front. it's allowing the wind direction to change to a northerly and to bring quite a different feel to the weather as we go through the weekend. so on saturday, it will

in the shorter term, we have seen as high as 17 degrees as recently as friday in aberdeenshire, but later this week, same location could be looking at a daytime high of five degrees, so something has already gone on and will continue so to do in the next few days. we have moved into a much cooler regime, and that will be the way that we start the week. high pressure trapping a fair amount of cloud in its circulation, sat right over the british isles. but if it should have cleared, well, you are going to wake to a frosty start. and that will be the way of it for much of england, wales on monday. a lot of sun sunshine to follow. that high just not doing enough to keep the fronts at bay from the north of scotland, so relatively mild both by day and by night. seasonal average around about nine degrees, so we are struggling to get to that sort of mark. we certainly will do if this skies stay clear in some locations as we move from monday on into tuesday. so a little bit of frost, we think, across the midlands, into eastern parts of wales. but again, where you keep your cloud, it will keep temp
