00:00Hello again. Very good evening to you. It feels like I've said this quite a lot recently
00:04but it's not always going to feel that summery as we go through this weekend. There's going
00:09to be some cloudy wet weather around and a relatively cool breeze at times too. Particularly
00:14towards eastern parts here we have a system coming in from the North Sea. That's going
00:18to gradually become more of a thing as we go through this evening and overnight. So
00:22some thickening clouds, some outbreaks of rain could be a little bit on the heavy side
00:26at times. Further west though a little bit drier. Yes, some outbreaks of rain still possible
00:31where we see any showers kicking off but on the whole it is a bit drier and some clearer
00:36skies quite likely too. Where we see the cloud lingering temperatures aren't going to drop
00:41much. Many places holding up in low double digits but we could just about fall to lows
00:45of around 7 or 8 Celsius over some parts of Scotland perhaps where we get any clear skies
00:50through the night. Into Saturday then and it is going to be a cloudy grey picture down
00:56the eastern side of the country. Rain coming in from the North Sea and it could still be
01:01a bit heavy at times and fairly persistent for some places. More rain developing across
01:05parts of eastern Scotland and down the eastern northeastern side of England as well as we
01:10go through the afternoon. Further west a greater chance of catching some bright or sunny spells
01:16but also a scattering of showers developing and some of these could be quite heavy, could
01:19have some rumbles of thunder mixed in but they're not looking quite as intense or as
01:23frequent as the showers that developed across parts of the southwest today. Nonetheless,
01:28we could see some localized impacts as a result of them. Temperatures are still generally
01:33a little bit on the low side for the time of year. If you get any sunshine away from
01:37any of those showers it's not going to feel too bad. Relatively warm, 1920, that kind
01:42of thing. But down the eastern side and with that thicker cloud, the outbreaks of rain
01:47and brisk northerly wind it's really going to feel pretty cool with temperatures abreast
01:52and pretty unpleasant for the time of year. More wet weather to come across eastern northeastern
01:57parts as we go through Saturday evening and overnight. That swirl of rain continuing to
02:01make its way in and pushes a little bit further westwards for a time. Further west and south
02:06though here it's actually looking largely dry and there will be some clear skies. Those
02:10showers largely dying out through the evening taking us into a pretty fine night for many
02:15places. But because of the clearer skies I'm expecting it to be a touch fresher for many
02:19places first thing on Sunday morning compared to Saturday morning. Otherwise as we go through
02:24Sunday itself and it is looking a bit dry for many places especially across the bulk
02:28of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and northern parts of Scotland. But still this swathe of
02:33wet weather which has changed in position as we've been through this day. So slight
02:38differences in the detail but that swathe of wet weather continuing across southern
02:42parts of Scotland, northern England for a time before then it should start to clear
02:45away. Away from this there will be a few showers around. Some of them could be on the
02:50heavy side but probably fewer showers than through today and also through Saturday. Also
02:55some bright sunny spells again and temperatures likely to be that little bit higher 22, 23
03:00perhaps and so feeling a bit warmer perhaps feeling a bit more like summer than it has
03:04done recently. Still a bit of a northerly wind particularly affecting eastern parts
03:09of Scotland but even here it's going to be a bit more pleasant than it will be on Saturday.
03:15Now on Sunday evening all attention will be turning to Germany where there will be
03:19a few showers around as we go through the day but most of them will be clearing away
03:24in time for kickoff for the Euro 2024 final. We will of course be keeping you up to date
03:30with the forecast both across the UK and for the significant sporting events happening
03:34this weekend across our YouTube channel. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
