00:00Hello, and welcome to the Met Office forecast for the upcoming weekend.

00:04Generally, a cloudy weekend to come, grey skies for most of the time, rain for much

00:10of the time, albeit not all the time.

00:14But one thing you will notice is that it will be milder, particularly by night, because

00:18we keep low pressure to the south of the UK, we keep tight isobars, we keep areas of cloud

00:23and rain moving across the country, and with all of that going on, we're not going to see

00:26those clear, crisp nights.

00:28We're going to see a lot of grey skies to start off the weekend, and some very wet weather

00:32on Saturday, especially during the morning across parts of England and Wales.

00:36Southwest England are focused for the heaviest rainfall for Saturday morning, and that comes

00:40after a soggy Thursday and Friday, and so yeah, that's certainly somewhere that we're

00:44keeping a close eye on.

00:45Southern parts of Dartmoor, for example, could see some substantially wet weather.

00:50Some drier breaks there for southeastern parts of England, but even here, outbreaks of rain.

00:55And then the rainfall shifts northwards, the focus for the heaviest rain turns to

00:59north-east England, and then later on Saturday, south-east Scotland.

01:03Further south, some drier weather, albeit with a few showers, and the far north seeing

01:08some drier weather for a time during Saturday as well.

01:11Best of any brightness, north-west Scotland, parts of northern Ireland, but with a keen

01:15breeze.

01:16And then the cloud and rain shifts here as we end Saturday, Saturday night a wet one

01:19for Scotland, parts of northern Ireland, northern England.

01:23Dryer further south, and a gap between weather systems for Sunday.

01:27A wet start certainly for northern Scotland, that rainfall lingering for the far north

01:31of the mainland and for the northern isles through the day on Sunday.

01:35Further south, a lot of cloud cover, misty, murky start to Sunday, but most places dry

01:41apart from a few showers.

01:43So a brief window of drier weather for many places on Sunday before the next batch of

01:47unsettled weather moves into south Wales and the southwest of England.

01:50Yet more heavy rain along with a strengthening wind by Sunday afternoon here.

01:56Now temperatures technically by day during the weekend will be rising, but I suspect

02:01with the cloud cover, with the breeze, with those outbreaks, that rain is not going to

02:05feel very pleasant.

02:06You will notice though, we'll pretty much lose those frosty nights, those crisp mornings

02:12because of all the cloud cover and all of the rainfall coming through.

02:16So it's not going to rain all the time through the weekend, there will be periods of drier

02:19weather and the best way to keep across those periods of, well, less unsettled weather is

02:25to follow the Met Office on social media and of course to download the Met Office app where

02:29you can access the weather where you are.

02:31Bye bye.
