00:00 Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office.
00:03 Through the next few days it's rain or showers, although it does slowly settle down from the
00:08 north through the latter part of the working week and into the weekend with some sunshine
00:12 on the horizon.
00:13 Now, let's take a look at the bigger picture.
00:16 Through Wednesday this system here slowly skirts in, quieter weather towards the north
00:21 on Thursday, but we'll see some showery bursts of rain on Thursday in Northern Ireland, England
00:25 and Wales.
00:26 And then this weather system here, this weather front, sort of bumps its way across England
00:31 and Wales into Friday before clearing high pressure, then sits towards the north and
00:34 extends southwards.
00:37 For the time being, that's Tuesday evening, this area of clouds and showery rain slowly
00:43 pushes towards the east.
00:45 So you could see the rain pep up for a time with the odd rumble of thunder before it clears.
00:50 Elsewhere, frequent and heavy showers across the north, northeast, northwest, a keen breeze
00:55 here and again the odd rumble of thunder.
00:57 Inland though, some clearer skies, although a few showers running in across Irish sea
01:00 coasts.
01:01 Now, overnight it is going to turn rather cool, rather chilly actually in one or two
01:06 rural spots towards the north where you see some starry skies as temperatures hold around
01:12 11 to 13 in the towns and cities, but inland, single figures lower than that across more
01:18 central parts of Scotland.
01:21 And first thing on Wednesday morning, some brighter skies for Orkney and Shetland.
01:24 Temperature showers never too far away, frequent showers across the north, northeast of Scotland
01:28 running in across the far north of Northern Ireland, skirting towards the Isle of Man,
01:32 northwest England, northern and western parts of Wales.
01:36 Some drier skies further south and east and a brighter start to the day come Wednesday
01:40 morning with some sunshine.
01:41 Now, through the day, the cloud will build and we'll see a scattering of showers develop
01:47 away from the West country, some drier weather here and certainly Irish sea coast seeing
01:50 some brighter weather.
01:52 Through the day, these showers continue across Scotland, much of England and Wales and they'll
01:57 become more frequent across central and eastern areas through the afternoon as we see drier
02:01 skies further west.
02:03 More cloud through the day for Northern Ireland, one or two showers here, but some brighter
02:07 weather to end the day with some sunny spells.
02:11 Temperatures then through the afternoon, no great shakes coming in around 18 to 21 degrees
02:15 Celsius.
02:16 Now, through Wednesday evening, those showers fade away yet again and we will see some clearer
02:22 skies and it's going to be another chilly one before cloud and rain moves in across
02:26 the west and the south through Thursday.
02:29 And then you can see here that ridge extends down from the south through Friday and into
02:35 Saturday.
02:36 The ice bars open up, still a bit breezy across the south coast there, but even so, high pressure
02:40 in charge for the weekend.
02:42 So stay tuned to the forecast for the weekend because it looks a bit brighter as well as
02:47 drier or settled.
02:49 Backtrack to Thursday now, you can see some fine weather for much of Scotland, more clouds
02:54 and some rain for Northern Ireland.
02:56 Temperatures here only 16 degrees Celsius.
02:59 And further south, yes, Northern England may get away with it with some dry weather, but
03:03 that rain moves down across England and Wales.
03:05 It could turn heavy for a time with some showers to follow from the west later.
03:10 Come Friday, a little more cloud around across Scotland, a little bit of showery rain from
03:15 time to time, but predominantly dry and Northern Ireland having a better day around with some
03:20 brighter skies.
03:21 And here's your outlook on Friday further south.
03:23 Some showery rain across southern counties, slowly clearing, a bit more cloud, but temperatures
03:28 on the up 18 to 21 degrees Celsius.
03:31 And the outlook into the weekend.
03:32 Currently, it looks like it will settle down with some sunshine in the mix, just a few
03:36 showers towards the south and perhaps the far northwest towards the end of the weekend.
03:41 But keep your posters on all your social media channels.
