00:00Hello. The start of a new metrological season has also meant a major change in the weather.

00:07We currently have an area of low pressure to the west of the country and that area of

00:12low pressure is set to dominate the weather over the coming days, spreading cloud and

00:16rain across many parts of the country. And looking at the latest radar sequence, we have

00:21that rain already across some areas in the west and particularly across parts of Northern

00:25Ireland where we are seeing some heavier bursts. And we do currently have a yellow

00:31weather rain warning covering parts of Northern Ireland and South West Scotland and that is

00:35valid for the remainder of Saturday afternoon. So that cloud and rain continues to move north

00:41and eastwards very slowly during the course of Saturday afternoon, although eastern areas

00:45stay in largely dry with a few isolated showers. Temperatures generally above average, especially

00:52where we see those sunny spells across eastern areas with temperatures reaching 26 degrees

00:57in some spots. And that cloud and rain continues to edge eastwards overnight tonight with a

01:04renewed push of heavy rain arriving across the south and west and parts of West Wales

01:09later. Overnight temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures but that wind strengthening

01:15across parts of the south west later in the night. So a wet start to Sunday morning with

01:20further outbreaks of heavy rain moving north and eastwards across Northern Ireland and

01:24Scotland. The best of any dryness really reserved for the far east of the country. Temperatures

01:30again tomorrow above average with highs of 24 or 25 across the south and east. And remaining

01:38unsettled as we look further into the new week with low pressure dominating the picture,

01:44windy at times with a risk of coastal gales also in the mix. Thank you for listening and
