00:00Good morning, welcome to your latest update from the Met Office. A pretty fine day for
00:03many of us, not feeling too bad at all in any sunshine, but across the north and west
00:08there's still some quite frequent showers and a bit of a brisk westerly wind to come
00:12through the day. Heavy showers will likely affect north and western Scotland, moving
00:16into eastern areas of Scotland later on. Still a risk of some showers across some areas of
00:20northern England, Wales, the south west, but I think showers will be much fewer and further
00:25in between compared to yesterday and there'll be more in the way of sunshine, particularly
00:29the further south and east you are. In the sunshine it will feel warm, but it is going
00:33to be a fresher day than yesterday today. That's because we've got a new air mass, fresher
00:38air that's moved in overnight. So temperatures at best 23 or 24 degrees across the south
00:43and east, but widely will be in the high teens, low 20s. That's a round average for the time
00:48of year, but we've got that brisk westerly wind in the north, it will feel that much
00:52cooler. Room for another cool night tonight as clear skies develop quite widely through
00:57this evening. So quite a fine end to the day. As I said, temperatures will fall away quite
01:01quickly through this evening as the sun is starting to set much earlier. So in rural
01:06areas we'll be down in single figures. Some towns and cities could see temperatures as
01:10low as 8 or 9 degrees as well, but that will mean we're in for a fine start to the day
01:15on Friday morning. Potentially a few patches of mist and fog around, but other than that
01:19it's going to be a clear and bright start to the day and it will still feel warm enough
01:23in any sunshine. The winds look quite light widely across the UK through Friday as well,
01:28away from the far north of Scotland, but there's still a bit of a breeze through Friday. So
01:34in the sunshine, highs of 24, 25 degrees in the south, further north around 18 to 19 degrees.
01:41So not bad at all, particularly as we haven't had many widely settled days through this
01:46summer so far. And Saturday looks like a similar day. As we head into Sunday though, a threat
01:51of some showers arriving from the south and east, but you can find out more details on
01:55that on our latest 10 day trend on YouTube. Have a great day, see you soon.
