High pressure will remain to the west of the UK, with low pressure to the north-east so cold north-westerly winds will continue to bring below average temperatures.

00:00Hello there. So the first week of June certainly hasn't felt like June with below average temperatures
00:11and blustery northwesterly winds. Now we've had this because high pressure has been located
00:16to the west of the UK out in the Atlantic, with low pressure to the north or north east,
00:21which has created a northwesterly airflow dragging in that colder air. Now when cold
00:26air crosses over the ocean it turns increasingly unstable, bringing showers or thunderstorms
00:32to the land. So on Thursday night these showers will merge into longer spours of rain across
00:37northern and western Scotland and Northern Ireland as the weather front pushes in. This
00:42band of rain then will push south eastwards on Thursday night and Friday morning across
00:47Scotland and Northern Ireland, before turning increasingly patchy and showery across northern
00:52England on Friday. Further south there will be more cloud around, with a few showers
00:58here and there, but some brighter spells will break through too. Further north, once that
01:03rain has cleared, there will be a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers. On Saturday
01:08morning there will be some cloud around to start the day across England and Wales, as
01:11well as a few showers associated with that weather front, but that will soon clear to
01:16leave a mostly dry and sunny Saturday afternoon for England and Wales. Further north, Scotland
01:21and Northern Ireland will have a mixture of sunny spells and showers, which will become
01:25mostly confined to northern areas during the afternoon.
