00:00Hi there. Following the very heavy thunderstorms that some parts of the UK saw over the weekend
00:06and a slightly quieter start to the week, we've got more rain to come as Atlantic weather
00:12returns. The first signs of that already in two parts of Wales and the south-west. It's
00:17been a damp start to Wednesday, that band of rain pushing into the Midlands, the south
00:21and south-east as well as parts of Northern Ireland by the afternoon. Northern England
00:25and Scotland mostly dry but it will be increasingly cloudy and there will be a few showers about,
00:30particularly for Northern Scotland where there will be a cold breeze, although some brighter
00:35skies at times for Shetland and for Orkney. So temperatures in the far north, 10 or 11
00:42Celsius. Towards the south, feeling unpleasant under the band of rain, but as the rain clears
00:47Devon and Cornwall, it will feel warmer once again with south-westerlies and temperatures
00:52of 18 Celsius, although those south-westerlies will bring further showers in through the
00:57evening, even some longer spells of heavier rain overnight. And the main band of initial
01:02rain pushes into North Wales, Northern England, Southern Scotland and Northern Ireland where
01:06it comes to a rest for some hours and it will turn increasingly persistent and heavy, particularly
01:11over north-east England. Just about avoids central and northern Scotland where there
01:16will be some clear skies overnight and with the colder air in place, temperatures dropping
01:21once again into the low single figures, a touch of ground frost around first thing.
01:26But in the south it's a mild night with the south-westerlies and the heavy showers around.
01:31Those showers will be with us first thing across the south coast, south Wales as well.
01:36Some brighter interludes in between the showers but across this central swathe of the UK there's
01:41this heavy and persistent rain that will accumulate, particularly through the morning and particularly
01:47for parts of north-east England. North York Moors, Pennines could see 80mm or so, perhaps
01:53more in one or two spots, 50mm more widely and that could cause localised flooding, transport
01:59disruption. But it does ease later in the afternoon and we'll see again a marked contrast
02:06in temperatures across the UK. We've got the cold air in the north but much milder air
02:10further south with temperatures closer to average in southern England, although with
02:15gusty winds and heavy showers moving through during the afternoon, it's not going to feel
02:19particularly pleasant if you're caught in those showers. Then the band of rain moves
02:23south and becomes lively once again across parts of Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia.
02:29There is the risk on Thursday night and into the start of Friday of 30mm in an hour or
02:36two and perhaps 40-60mm in several hours in some locations. A little bit of uncertainty
02:43about where exactly we'll see the heaviest rain but there is the risk again of localised
02:48flooding and of course that rain hitting areas that have already seen some heavy rain through
02:53the weekend. It's mild though in the south with that rain first thing Friday. Colder
02:59further north with northerly winds starting to push south. Those northerly winds will
03:04help to clear the rain but it could be a tricky rush hour through the M4, M5 first thing Friday
03:10before the rain eventually eases. Some heavy showers potentially affecting the south coast
03:14for a time but by the afternoon many places are drier and brighter. There will be showers
03:19coming through on those northerly winds, particularly for northern Scotland, Northern Ireland, but
03:23interspersed by sunny spells and it's going to feel a lot colder everywhere with those
03:29northerly winds arriving and below average temperatures across the board. Having said
03:34that, although it will be colder than normal through the weekend, much brighter skies return
03:39and for many it's a dry weekend with just one or two showers and plenty of sunny spells.
