00:00Hello there. Thursday marks the beginning of meteorological autumn and possibly the

00:04last settled day for a while, as low pressure replaces high pressure, bringing with it unsettled

00:10conditions, rain, showers and some stronger winds into the weekend. However, through Wednesday

00:15evening it's pleasant outside, just one or two isolated showers towards the east, most

00:20places remaining dry overnight. Quite a brisk breeze across central and southern parts of

00:24England and Wales yet again, but further north a light wind will allow some mist and fog

00:29patches to form and it will turn chilly, particularly across Scotland, the glens of Scotland, seeing

00:34temperatures dip down to mid-single figures, perhaps even a little bit lower. But a mild

00:38start to the day further west and south. So through the morning, pleasant for many with

00:43some blue sky and sunshine cloud just rolling across the sky very slowly. Now you can see

00:48here perhaps a little bit more cloud for Yorkshire where there could be one or two residual showers,

00:53many areas though dry through the morning. During the afternoon more clouds will slowly

00:57extend from more southern areas, making the sunshine here rather hazy. Elsewhere though,

01:02not a lot of change, just a few isolated showers dotted around. But notice some showers gathering

01:08across the Channel Islands. They're going to be moving their way northwards through Thursday

01:12evening and overnight, extending across England and Wales as we head into Friday. Before that

01:17though, through Thursday afternoon, temperatures reaching 21 across Scotland and Northern Ireland,

01:2223 to 25 across England and Wales. So here's your outlook through Friday. The chance of showers

01:28across many areas, but some sunshine in between, certainly for more northern and northeastern areas.

01:34But into Saturday, things really ramp up in terms of how much rain, the intensity of the rain,

01:39it will be slow moving. And through the weekend, most places will see some wet weather as the

01:43winds pick up towards the north as well as the east. So here's that low pressure system extending

01:48and swirling around the UK through Saturday. Weather fronts extending up towards the northeast

01:54through Saturday and into Sunday with some keen breezes here. And some high rainfall totals are

01:58expected, particularly towards the southwest of Scotland through Saturday and into Sunday,

02:03with not a lot of change as we head into Monday where things will slowly turn fresher. Bye-bye.
