Weather with some sunshine on sunday. but that the north—easterly wind will be quite wet. it is to feel quite raw i think with temperatures on the thermometer 4—6 celsius. it could feel colder than that. into the start of next week, still high pressure to the north. quite a few white lines youll see here on the chart. quite a few isobars that shows that we will keep that brisk northeasterly wind. the blue colours on the chart, the air is still coming from a fairly cold place. so, low tempera...

Than digital objects... i definitely want a better version of me. is that sort of unhealthy for people? ..whose beauty standards are designed by men sat behind a screen? 0bviously my inspirations were quite unrealistic, you know? its kind of like supermodels and barbie dolls. and who will control our avatars once weve gone? i just want to do what we started off doing and as much as that feels right. to find out ive made my own avatar and entered the dystopian world occupied by our digital twins....

Covering of snow in places through saturday night. as we get into sunday, a subtle change. because this area of high pressure to the west shifts up to the north. as the high changes shape, the wind direction changes as well. instead of the northerly winds we are going to have a north—easterly wind. a subtle shift but it will focus the showers into eastern areas and provide a bit of shelter out west. so northern ireland, wales, the south—west should see drier weather with some sunshine on sun...

Ever having to spend a day learning it. sign language. hey, christine, i heard you know asl. can we see a little bit of the alphabet, please? i like to be nice to my own avatar. christine says the biggest growth markets for these hyper—realistic avatars are fashion, advertising and digital assistants, but its still early days for the technology. i really think that gen z and the younger generations, theyre loving it and theyre going to be the ones that decide how it works, what the winners are...

Especially over the high ground, so probably the best of any dry and bright weather will be across southern, northern and western areas — and again, a cold day to come. when you factor in the stronger north—easterly breeze, it could feel quite raw. and that breeze just picks up further as we head on into next week. a stronger easterly which will feed in thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain at times, particularly across southern and eastern parts of england, and youll notice it will stay quite co...
