00:00 Hello, Thursday was a day of sunshine and showers for most of us, all due to an area
00:05 of low pressure out to the north east of the UK. This area of low pressure gradually moves
00:09 its way towards Scandinavia over the next couple of days, with a brief ridge of high
00:13 pressure as we head towards Saturday. But all eyes out to the north west, another deep
00:18 area of low pressure brings various frontal systems up towards the UK as we head through
00:23 Sunday bringing further spells of wet and windy weather.
00:27 Back to Thursday evening though, and any of those showers that we've seen through the
00:30 day on Thursday gradually starting to ease, perhaps lingering for a time across the very
00:34 far south coast and pushing inland a little through south east England into the early
00:39 hours of Friday morning. Those showers also lingering across parts of western Scotland,
00:44 Northern Ireland, into north Wales and northern England as well, but some clearer interludes
00:48 between and under those clear skies we could see some patchy mist and fog. Turning a little
00:52 bit chilly under those clear skies as well, we could see those temperatures dropping down
00:56 to around 6 degrees, but where it remains cloudy are those temperatures holding up just
01:00 a little higher.
01:01 So it will be a very damp start to the day in the south east on Friday morning, those
01:06 showers gradually pushing away towards the south east as we head through the morning,
01:10 leaving a very dry and bright start to the day for most places. Those showers across
01:15 the western coast gradually pushing inland, although easing, but further showers bubbling
01:19 up as we head through the afternoon on Friday. Again, these could turn heavy at times, we
01:24 could hear the odd rumble of thunder and there will be some sunny spells between those showers
01:28 as well.
01:29 Feeling a little bit cooler on Friday, particularly compared to Thursday as we've got a north
01:34 westerly wind, so headline max temperatures around 17 or 18 degrees. Those showers through
01:40 Friday afternoon will gradually start to ease overnight on Friday, plenty of clear skies
01:45 around and remaining a much drier night than we've seen recently. Still a few showers persisting
01:50 across the very far north east of Scotland, but plenty of places seeing those clear skies
01:54 overnight and some patchy mist and fog possible as we head into Saturday morning.
01:59 A much chillier night on Friday night as well compared to what we've seen recently. Some
02:03 rural spots could drop down to around 4 or 5 degrees and we could see some frost possible,
02:08 particularly across Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland and Northern England as well.
02:13 So to start on Saturday, a much chillier start than we've seen recently. Plenty of clear
02:17 skies though will lead to a very bright start to the morning, plenty of sunshine around,
02:21 particularly across the east of the UK. Still a few isolated showers across the very far
02:26 south east and the north east of Scotland as well, but it's all eyes out to the west,
02:30 cloud building as we head through the day, particularly across Northern Ireland, parts
02:34 of Wales and into parts of western Scotland as well, as this band of rain pushes in from
02:39 the west through Saturday afternoon and into Sunday. That rain will continue to push its
02:43 way eastwards but you can keep up to date with that forecast via our website and don't
02:48 forget to follow us on social media. Bye bye.
