00:00 Very good morning to you. There is some fog around, some mistiness in some places and a bit of low cloud for some.
00:07 And then later on today we are going to see a bit more rain pushing into the northwest.
00:10 But for many it's a generally fine picture and it will stay fine as we go through the next few days
00:16 because of high pressure that's going to dominate the story across the UK.
00:20 As we go towards the weekend we're going to drag in some warmer air
00:24 and so that's going to lead to our temperatures rising a good chance that we could see highs of around 25 or 26 Celsius by Saturday.
00:31 Back to the here and now though and like I said some murkiness, some low cloud across eastern, southeastern parts first thing
00:37 and further west some mist and fog patches.
00:40 Most of that will lift and clear away but some of it could linger in a few spots.
00:44 For most it's going to be a dry day, just one or two showers to watch out for particularly over any higher ground.
00:50 However across Scotland and Northern Ireland, especially towards the northwest,
00:54 here there will be some outbreaks of rain pushing their way in and the winds will be starting to pick up a little bit too.
00:59 For most I think it's going to be a little bit brighter or sunnier compared to yesterday
01:03 and with that it should feel a little bit warmer as well.
01:06 Temperatures rising from mid to high teens across northern parts to high teens, low twenties across central southern areas.
01:14 So temperatures a bit above average for the time of year.
01:17 Through the end of the day we're going to see more wet weather pushing its way across parts of Scotland,
01:21 particularly the northern two-thirds of Scotland.
01:24 Further south staying mostly dry albeit a few outbreaks of rain affecting parts of Northern Ireland.
01:29 Again there could be some low clouds skirting around some eastern, southeastern coastal parts
01:34 and a bit of mist and fog where we see some clear skies across more central western parts of England and Wales
01:40 but I don't think there'll be quite as much murkiness as there was through this morning.
01:44 And again temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount some places,
01:48 particularly towards the north and the towns and cities holding up in double digits.
01:51 A little bit cooler, a bit fresher than this further south,
01:54 a greater chance that we'll fall into single figures across central southern England and Wales.
01:59 Through Thursday itself then sticking with the largely cloudy picture across much of the northern half of Scotland
02:06 there will be further outbreaks of rain here and it is still going to be a bit breezy at times.
02:11 Elsewhere though lots of fine weather to be had, a decent amount of bright or sunny skies,
02:16 not necessarily clear blue skies through the whole of the day but most of us will see some decent sunshine.
02:21 Again one or two showers possible but most of us avoiding this and having another fine and dry day.
02:28 Temperatures starting to rise a little bit, I talked about them rising further as we go towards the weekend,
02:33 a greater chance of us getting to highs of around 22 or 23 Celsius on Thursday
02:38 so it should feel a little bit warmer than today.
02:41 As we go through the end of the week and into the weekend there is more settled weather to come for most of us.
02:46 So it is generally going to be dry and sunny, one or two showers perhaps but for most of us dry and sunny.
02:52 Except towards the north-northwest, here there will be some rain still trying to push its way in
02:57 but for most of us staying dry and temperatures rising like I said,
03:01 a good chance of the mid-20s by the time that we get to the weekend.
03:04 I'll be back later on our YouTube channel with our 10-day trend
03:08 so if you're interested in what's coming up as we go further ahead then do check that out.
03:12 Otherwise I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
