00:00Hello there and very good morning to you. We start off this Saturday with a slight
00:05east-west split in conditions. Generally out towards the east it's not too bad at all but
00:10it's low pressure in control for western regions and this is providing a more unsettled theme
00:16overall. We've got continuing outbreaks of rain across many western districts. Those will be heavy
00:21in places and particularly for Northern Ireland and northwestern Scotland they'll be continuing
00:26right throughout much of today. It should be an improving picture though for Wales and southwest
00:30England. Into the afternoon the rain will ease and it will turn drier allowing for a few brighter
00:34spells to develop but the best of any sunnier breaks will certainly be out towards areas of eastern
00:38Scotland and England. Temperatures climbing towards highs of around 15 degrees celsius so in that
00:44sunshine not feeling too bad for the time of year. Though there is still quite a keen breeze coming in
00:49from the east from that north sea direction so if you're exposed to that it will be feeling a touch
00:54cooler in there and also cooler underneath the most persistent cloud and rain in the northwest.
00:59This rain will be lingering into the evening as well particularly for the outer Hebrides parts of
01:04the highlands and Argyle and Butte as well easing off a little bit more overnight for Northern Ireland.
01:09We do also see another system just push its way into the far southeast closer towards dawn on Easter Sunday
01:15as well but elsewhere managing to stay dry. Generally not too chilly of your night our temperatures will be
01:22holding up around four to eight degrees celsius in towns and cities though it will be a touch lower
01:26than that in the countryside and we may get close to freezing in a few sheltered rural spots.
01:32But for Easter Sunday itself then away from the far northwest and the far southeast where those two
01:37systems are in play it's not too bad of a day overall. There'll be plentiful amounts of sunshine for
01:42the bulk of Scotland Northern England down into Wales as well and generally lighter winds around
01:48tomorrow should make for a relatively pleasant feel as well. A bit of a breeze still lingering
01:52around some coastal districts particularly where you do have those showers and slightly longer
01:56spells of rain in there. But with the sunshine temperatures climbing towards that 15-16 degrees
02:01celsius a bit more widely particularly for the northwest once the rain does clear off into the
02:05afternoon it will be feeling a touch more pleasant here. There may be a few spots where we even see
02:09higher than these values here. But the sunshine is not going to last for all of us as we head into the last
02:16stage of this bank holiday weekend. Low pressure will be returning and bringing more weather fronts
02:22our way so further spells of rain are possible and the showers will also become a bit more widespread
02:28particularly for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There could be some heavy ones around
02:32on Monday. It's looking like Scotland will be the driest of the nations and with the best of any of that
02:38sunshine still lingering on at times. We'll have plenty more updates of what you can expect over the
02:43next few days so do subscribe to the YouTube channel and we'll see you again here very soon. Bye bye.
