00:00Hello there, good evening. More fog as we head into the overnight period and still plenty
00:05of low cloud on offer. We're going to start to see a bit of a shift in our wind direction,
00:09more of a southerly. So that's going to push all this cloud that we're seeing across the
00:12far south, pushing it into more areas of northern Wales and also northern parts of England.
00:17So that's going to lead to quite a grey and dank start by the time we reach Friday morning.
00:22It should stay largely dry, though we could see some drizzly spots around hilly areas,
00:26particularly across western parts of Northern Ireland. Also north-western Scotland could
00:30wake up to quite a damp start as we head into Friday morning. And also turning very windy
00:35across the far north-west too, a risk we could see some gales across the far north of Scotland.
00:40It is going to be fairly mild here overnight, lows of around 7 Celsius, but across the rest
00:44of England and Wales, particularly across the south-east, could be quite a chilly night
00:47on offer. We may even see some pockets of frost in any clearer spells. For Friday itself
00:53we're actually not going to see much change, still plenty of cloud around, some quite grey
00:58skies. A chance we could see some brightness, the best chance is just to the north-east
01:02of any high ground. Largely dry once again, though similar across north-west Scotland,
01:07perhaps western parts of Northern Ireland, a bit damper here with outbreaks of rain and
01:12drizzle and also still fairly windy with perhaps some quite long spells of rain across the
01:16far north of Scotland towards the end of the day. Despite this though, this is where we'll
01:20see the mildest temperatures, highs of around 10 to 11 Celsius, maybe even 12 Celsius in
01:25some spots. But across the far south-east those temperatures are going to struggle under
01:29cloudier skies, highs of only around 5 to 6 Celsius here, so a chilly day on offer across
01:34the south-east. Then into the evening once again, not really much change, still plenty
01:40of cloud around though we could once again see some clear spells. The only difference
01:44is it is going to be feeling much chillier as we head into Saturday morning and still
01:48once again fairly windy across the far north-west of the country. But it's across northern
01:53parts of England, central and southern areas that we could just dip below zero, so feeling
01:57chilly here, once again a chance we could see some frost. Temperatures down a degree
02:01or two by Saturday morning across the north-west, but there's still a fairly mild night on offer.
02:07To start the weekend, there are still going to be plenty of cloudier skies, but a good
02:11chance we could see more brightness develop, particularly as we head towards the afternoon,
02:16mainly across Wales, parts of northern England, perhaps later across south-west England too.
02:20We do have a frontal system trying to edge its way in from the west, but it's fairly
02:24slow moving, but just a chance we could see some rain just creep into western parts of
02:28Scotland towards the end of the day, where once again across Scotland and Northern Ireland
02:32temperatures are just above average for the time of year. Highs of around 8 to 9 Celsius,
02:36but once again across the rest of England and Wales, particularly the south-east where
02:40we're seeing those cloudy skies linger once again. Temperatures really struggling here,
02:44only seeing highs of around 3 Celsius, so a chilly start to the weekend on offer.
