00:00Hello. There was certainly some dramatic weather around overnight, especially across northern

00:05England, south-east England, east Anglia, some lively thunderstorms in places and we'll

00:09see more heavy showers and thunderstorms through Thursday as well. Low pressure close to south-west

00:16Wales, south-west England. That low pressure has been with us for five to six days or so

00:21and it's still slow moving across the UK. It's still bringing some of these lively downpours

00:27and those showers will be slow moving through central parts. A bit more of a breeze in the

00:31south will carry along the showers but make it feel on the cool side. I think drier conditions

00:37for the north and north-west of Scotland where temperatures could peak at 21, 22 Celsius

00:42or so and we'll see 20 to 21 Celsius where winds are lighter through central parts but

00:47the breeze in the south make it feel cool. Likewise for the north-east of Scotland where

00:52that breeze will pick up through the day. You might notice the locations on the map

00:56have changed. These locations will actually now vary on a daily basis which means we can

01:03cover more of the UK so around 70 or so locations will be displayed at various points through

01:10the week and we'll see greater variety and a greater number of place names on the maps

01:16through the week. Either way it's looking unsettled wherever you are through Thursday

01:23and into Thursday night some longer spells of rain pushing into northern England, southern

01:28Scotland, some heavy rain for a time, a yellow warning there because of the risk of some

01:33localised flooding, tricky driving conditions as well. Eventually that heavy rain peels

01:37into northern Ireland, into north Wales as well but further damp weather into eastern

01:42Scotland. Away from this zone, this wraparound occlusion, well we're going to see drier conditions

01:48overnight as the daytime showers ease away, some clear spells but a lot of cloud cover,

01:53a bit of a breeze so temperatures staying at around 14 to 16 Celsius. The wind actually

02:00does pick up through the night across eastern Scotland, north-east England so a blustery

02:05start to Friday here and that rain continuing especially through the central belt, the Lothians

02:11into borders of Scotland, the far north of England. Heavy showers then break out widely

02:16once again across England and Wales, more focus towards eastern areas but still quite

02:22a number further west as well. Drier for northern Ireland eventually and certainly a fine day

02:27to come for the north and north-west of Scotland. Temperatures a little lower here compared

02:32with Thursday but further south where we again get some sunshine and some lighter breezes

02:3920 or 21 Celsius. Into Friday evening the showers mostly start to ease away but further

02:47damp weather for a time in the north-east and that will continue as we start the weekend,

02:53at least at first on Saturday but it is a drying up period through the weekend. On Saturday

02:59many places will see drier and brighter weather but Sunday sees more rain arrive from the

03:04north-west.
