00:00Hello. Welcome to your weekend
00:02forecast from the Met Office.
00:03If you're after some sunshine this
00:05June weekend and some warmth,
00:07well, look away now because, yes,
00:09there may be a bit of sunshine at
00:10times, but for many, it's looking
00:12cloudy, often wet and
00:14fairly blustery and chilly as well.
00:16Why so?
00:17All thanks to an area of low
00:18pressure, quite a deep area of low
00:20pressure. In fact, that's bringing
00:21some wild weather to parts of Spain
00:23and France, so much so that the
00:25Spanish Meteorological Service
00:27named this storm Miguel.
00:29You can see the isobars really
00:30close together there, some pretty
00:32violent conditions across parts of
00:33France. But as the low pressure
00:35heads northwards, it does weaken.
00:37So the conditions won't be as bad
00:39across the UK.
00:40But nevertheless, with low pressure
00:41sitting over our heads, that does
00:43mean rain.
00:44And with the isobars fairly close
00:46together, it is still going to be
00:47blustery.
00:48Now, the wet and windy weather
00:49starts on Friday, but as the low
00:51heads northwards, you can still
00:53see bands of rain spiralling
00:55around. It's bringing more heavy
00:56rain, particularly to Scotland,
00:58Northern Ireland, Northwest England
01:00and North Wales early on on
01:01Saturday.
01:02In the south, it looks a bit
01:03brighter on Saturday.
01:04There'll be some sunshine, but as
01:06you can see, it will still be
01:07blustery and there will still be
01:09showers around.
01:10It's also going to stay pretty cool.
01:13Temperatures with some sunny spells
01:15across the south may get up into the
01:16high teens.
01:17But for most places, particularly
01:19stuck under that rain band, 12
01:21to 14, with a brisk wind, it will
01:23feel cooler as well.
01:25How about Sunday?
01:26Well, the area of low pressure does
01:28try and ebb away, but there's
01:30another one not too far away.
01:31And although the isobars do open
01:33out, so it won't be quite as windy
01:34on Sunday, it's still going to be
01:36fairly breezy and it's basically
01:37going to be a day of sunshine and
01:39showers. Perhaps with the low still
01:40close to the northeast, some more
01:42persistent rain here and still a
01:43brisk and chilly wind across the
01:45far northeast.
01:46Elsewhere, we could well start off
01:48with a bit of sunshine, but the
01:49clouds will bubble up and then
01:50bands of showers will be swinging
01:52through.
01:53We may see some areas that don't
01:55see too many of those showers.
01:57We may see a bit more sunshine on
01:58Sunday compared to Saturday.
02:00But overall, you can still
02:02expect to get wet at some point
02:03through Sunday because of that
02:05brisk breeze chasing the showers
02:07along. That brisk breeze also,
02:09again, making it feel on the
02:10cool side.
02:12Temperatures, again, middle of
02:13the teens, maybe 18, 19
02:15with a bit of sunshine across the
02:16southeast. But for most places,
02:18again, rather cool for
02:20the time of year.
02:21There are a few signs it may get a
02:22little bit drier and brighter
02:25as we go through next week.
