00:00Good morning. A fine and dry start for many of us this morning, but it is already turning
00:06cloudy from the west and turning increasingly unsettled. The reason for that is our old
00:11friend the jet stream. This really powers up the weather from the North Atlantic. Normally,
00:15this time of year it's displaced well to the north, but it's running right the way across
00:19the UK at the moment and it's set to bring further outbreaks of heavy rain and wind at
00:24times for the rest of the week. And we are already seeing one of those bands of cloud
00:29and rain moving in across parts of Northern Ireland and Western Scotland. And that rain
00:34will become increasingly heavy and persistent during the course of the afternoon. And these
00:39southwesterly winds will also strengthen, particularly across the northern coast of
00:43Northern Ireland and Western Scotland, where I'd like to see coastal gales develop for
00:48a time. Further to the south and east, winds are a lot lighter and a few breaks in that
00:53cloud will allow those temperatures to actually rise into the low 20s. So looking at highs
00:59around 22 or 23. But for areas further to the north under the cloud and rain, temperatures
01:06disappointing on the cool side of average for the time of year. So that band of cloud
01:11and rain across northwest areas will continue to push eastwards during the course of this
01:17evening overnight and that rain becoming heavy and persistent. And there will likely be some
01:22local impacts, so difficult travelling conditions, some localised flooding. And we do have ourselves
01:27a yellow weather warning and that runs right the way through into Thursday. But overnight
01:34temperatures were generally well above where they should be for the time. It's going to
01:38feel quite humid within this weather system. We have the air of ex-hurricane Ernesto, so
01:43quite humid. Now, that band of cloud and rain continues to work eastwards during the course
01:50of Thursday. But as it pushes into the south and east, it's weakening all the time. Further
01:56to the west, it is brightening up. So a day of sunny spells and showers and those winds
02:00will also ease back for a time. And temperatures during the course of Thursday afternoon, very
02:06similar to the values we're going to see this afternoon, with highs of 22 or 23 across the
02:12south and east. But further to the north, we are still on the cool side of average and
02:17the unsettled theme will continue as we move our way through to the rest of the week. Another
02:23spell of wet and windy weather on Friday, but maybe something a little bit more positive
02:28by the time we actually get to the bank holiday weekend. Thank you for watching. Cheers for
02:33now.
