00:00Good morning. Some of us have woken up to a fairly cloudy start, but not everywhere.
00:05West is best for the bright, sunny skies because we had clear skies in the west overnight.
00:09It does mean there's a touch of frost in some prone rural spots, but a good deal of sunshine through today.
00:15Further east, yes, a grey, cloudy start, some mist, some murk around, a bit of fog perhaps,
00:20but a lot of that is going to lift and clear away as we go through the day,
00:24and so by the afternoon most places will be sunny.
00:27That being said, the far east of England, some coastal parts clinging on to a bit of cloud here,
00:32and under this cloud is actually going to feel a little chilly, especially when you factor in the breeze towards the east,
00:38which is going to be a bit stronger than it has been through some recent days.
00:42Further west, like I said, lots of sunshine on offer, and here it is going to feel pleasantly warm.
00:47Temperatures for some, perhaps towards like western Scotland for example, may be a touch higher than some recent days.
00:52We could get high teens, possibly even into the low 20s.
00:56Then as we go through this evening and overnight, still some cloud out towards eastern coastal parts of England
01:02and towards the North Sea, and then that's going to feed a bit further inland across central, southeastern,
01:07southern parts of England as well.
01:10Elsewhere though, again, lots of clear weather.
01:12In fact, it's going to be a clearer night than last night across eastern parts of Scotland
01:16and the far northeast of England.
01:18That's all because our wind direction has changed a little bit.
01:21It's worth bearing in mind there will be some strong gusts around some coastal parts,
01:24maybe even some gustiness around Dartmoor as well.
01:28Where we get the clear skies, we're going to see perhaps a few pockets of mist and fog across parts of Scotland,
01:33northern Ireland, northwest England, and also a touch of frost again.
01:36Temperatures dipping a little bit below freezing in less built-up areas.
01:40Then as we go through Thursday, yes, a grey start across this large southeastern chunk of England,
01:47but I am expecting all of this cloud to break up and burn away as we head into the afternoon.
01:52So lots of sunshine on offer again, away from the far north of Scotland.
01:56Here a bit more cloud and perhaps a little bit of drizzly rain for Orkney and Shetland as well.
02:01With that then and all the sunshine that we're going to have through tomorrow,
02:05we're going to see temperatures a little bit higher in quite a few places,
02:08but markedly higher than today across eastern parts of Scotland and northeast England.
02:13If we just show you the comparison between today and tomorrow's temperatures,
02:17and you can see how much warmer it's likely to be across that eastern, northeastern part of the UK.
02:22Some places more than 10 degrees warmer tomorrow than today.
02:26In fact, some places will be markedly warmer than they have been for several weeks
02:30and likely to be at least Scotland's warmest day of the year so far.
02:34We're looking at highs of 21, 22, possibly even 23 Celsius.
02:39More fine weather to come for many of us as we go towards the end of the week,
02:42but a bit of rain coming in from the north.
02:44And what can we expect as we head towards Easter?
02:47Well, I'll have more details about that in the 10-day trend,
02:49which will be available later this afternoon.
02:51See you later.
