00:00Hello, Thursday was a day of sunshine and showers for most of us, all due to an area
00:05of low pressure out to the north-east of the UK. This area of low pressure gradually moves
00:10its way towards Scandinavia over the next couple of days, with a brief ridge of high
00:14pressure as we head towards Saturday. But all eyes out to the north-west, another deep
00:18area of low pressure brings various frontal systems up towards the UK as we head through
00:23Sunday bringing further spells of wet and windy weather.
00:27Back to Thursday evening though, and any of those showers that we've seen through the
00:30day on Thursday gradually starting to ease, perhaps lingering for a time across the very
00:35far south coast and pushing inland a little through south-east England into the early
00:40hours of Friday morning. Those showers also lingering across parts of western Scotland,
00:44northern Ireland, into north Wales and northern England as well, but some clearer interludes
00:48between and under those clear skies we could see some patchy mist and fog. Turning a little
00:53bit chilly under those clear skies as well, we could see those temperatures dropping down
00:56to around 6 degrees, but where it remains cloudy at those temperatures holding up just
01:00a little higher. So it'll be a very damp start to the day in the south-east on Friday morning.
01:07Those showers gradually pushing away towards the south-east as we head through the morning,
01:10leaving a very dry and bright start to the day for most places. Those showers across
01:15the western coast gradually pushing inland, although easing, but further showers bubbling
01:20up as we head through the afternoon on Friday. Again, these could turn heavy at times, we
01:24could hear the odd rumble of thunder and there will be some sunny spells between those
01:28showers as well. Feeling a little bit cooler on Friday, particularly compared to Thursday
01:33as we've got a north-westerly wind, so headline max temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees.
01:40Those showers through Friday afternoon will gradually start to ease overnight on Friday.
01:45Plenty of clear skies around and remaining a much drier night than we've seen recently.
01:49Still a few showers persisting across the very far north-east of Scotland, but plenty
01:53of places seeing those clear skies overnight and some patchy mist and fog possible as we
01:57head into Saturday morning. A much chillier night on Friday night as well compared to
02:02what we've seen recently. Some rural spots could drop down to around 4 or 5 degrees and
02:07we could see some frost possible, particularly across Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland
02:11and Northern England as well. So to start on Saturday, a much chillier start than we've
02:15seen recently. Plenty of clear skies though will lead to a very bright start to the morning.
02:20Plenty of sunshine around, particularly across the east of the UK. Still a few isolated showers
02:25across the very far south-east and the north-east of Scotland as well, but it's all eyes out
02:30to the west. Cloud building as we head through the day, particularly across Northern Ireland,
02:34parts of Wales and into parts of western Scotland as well, as this band of rain pushes in from
02:39the west through Saturday afternoon and into Sunday. That rain will continue to push its
02:44way eastwards, but you can keep up to date with that forecast via our website and don't
02:48forget to follow us on social media. Bye bye.
