00:00 Good evening. There'll be some late sunshine for many southern areas this
00:04 evening and those clearer skies will push northwards leading many of us into
00:08 a much better day on Saturday. So some cloud and rain across northern areas
00:12 still continuing drizzly rain mainly. It's fairly light but it will persist
00:16 across the far north of Scotland through much of the night but elsewhere it turn
00:20 much clearer so clear skies for many perhaps a bit of mist and fog across
00:24 central areas where the ground is wet from recent rainfall and with those
00:29 clear skies is actually going to be a fairly cold night particularly compared
00:33 to recent nights so many towns and cities around 8 or 10 degrees but
00:37 actually where you see the greens on the maps we could be down as low as 3
00:41 degrees across parts of Wales and England by Saturday morning but it is
00:45 going to be a bright start to the day so even though it will be chilly overnight
00:48 I think temperatures actually will pick up quite quickly because of the sun
00:52 shining it's quite strong at this time of year UV levels are high when the sun
00:56 does shine and for many of us it should be a dry warmer day than yesterday
01:01 through Saturday. There are a few exceptions to that there's actually an
01:05 area of rain to watch across eastern areas of England could likely move into
01:09 parts of Lincolnshire Norfolk as well could turn quite heavy into Saturday
01:13 afternoon so here it could be a bit of a cloudy and damp afternoon but for most
01:18 of us I think sunny spells through the day. Highs of around 22 degrees in the
01:22 south closer to 19-18 degrees in the north so definitely warmer than it has
01:27 been throughout Friday but across the southwest notice we do have the next
01:32 band of quite showery potentially heavy rain moving in so it will turn a bit
01:36 wetter from the southwest through Saturday evening so the sunshine is
01:40 going to be fairly short-lived through the weekend as this band of rain pushes
01:44 north and eastwards through the night. We'll also see that rain from
01:47 southeastern areas of England push into parts of Scotland Northern England as
01:51 well so quite a couple of areas of persistent rainfall affecting
01:55 central areas of the UK. Across the southwest will turn a little bit clearer
02:00 first thing on Sunday just for a time but I think most of us can expect some
02:04 showery outbreaks of rain through the night but the one benefit of that is
02:08 going to be a milder night temperatures much closer to where they have been
02:11 overnight recently. So a milder but a much more unsettled start to the day on
02:17 Sunday outbreaks of rain will continue through the day as well I think across
02:20 northern areas it's likely to stay quite cloudy through the day outbreaks of rain
02:25 not particularly heavy for most of us but there is a chance of some heavier
02:28 outbursts particularly across southern areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland
02:33 and for England and Wales there'll be a mix of sunny spells and heavy downpours
02:38 now those downpours could turn thundery as well and we could see up to 30
02:41 millimeters of rain falling in one place if you do see a couple of showers
02:46 covering the same area and because of the recent rainfall that could
02:50 cause some localized issues. Now not all of us will see the showers so if you are
02:55 lucky enough to dodge the showers through Sunday it won't actually be too
02:59 bad a day highs of around 18 or 19 degrees lighter winds means that it
03:04 won't feel too bad in the sunshine but I think most of us will notice quite a
03:07 difference between a Saturday and Sunday particularly across many areas of
03:12 England and Wales so a bit more of an unsettled day on the cards on Sunday and
03:16 it's going to stay fairly unsettled into Monday as well the Bank Holiday Monday
03:21 looks like we'll have low pressure still nearby the rain becomes a bit more
03:24 restricted to eastern areas by the end of the day on Monday as a ridge of
03:28 higher pressure builds in from the west so actually I think there's a chance of
03:32 some sunshine some dry weather across western areas to end the day on Bank
03:36 Holiday Monday but again it's short-lived as the next day of low
03:39 pressure is arriving for the rest of the half term week so a few changes on the
03:44 way make sure you keep up to date with all our latest forecasts on YouTube by
