00:00Hello, and welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. We do have some

00:04fine settled weather on the way for most of us, and that's because we have high pressure

00:08that's building and going to dominate the picture. You can see this towards the south

00:11west of the UK at the moment. However, notice some fronts will still be toppling over the

00:16north of this. So particularly across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, it will

00:19be cloudier, cooler and a bit damp at times. Elsewhere, with high pressure building as

00:23we go through the weekend and into next week, lots of settled weather to come and rising

00:28temperatures too. Back to the here and now, and as we go through Thursday evening, yes,

00:32some cloud and some rain, particularly towards western parts of Scotland. Also quite a cloudy

00:36picture across Northern Ireland too. But elsewhere through the night, largely clear skies for

00:41many places. Watch out for a few pockets of mist and fog first thing on Friday morning.

00:45Notice temperatures aren't going to drop much. Most places holding up in mid-teens could

00:49just about get into single digits in some prone spots, but perhaps around the London

00:53area, temperatures really not dropping much here. Could stay around 15 or 16 Celsius for

00:58some here, so an uncomfortable night of sleeping. As we look through Friday then, a bit of a

01:03blustery start across some northern parts, some brisk winds here. Also a bit of rain

01:07still across far western parts of Scotland, but this should break up as we go through

01:10the day. A spell of cloud and rain will feed in across parts of Northern Ireland and perhaps

01:14the far south west of Scotland as we go through the afternoon. But notice across England and

01:18Wales, lots of fine sunny weather to be had and here in the sunshine, temperatures really

01:23rising. Could get highs of 28 or 29 Celsius towards the south east, so feeling pretty

01:27hot indeed. As we go through the end of the day on Friday, we will see this cloud and

01:32few spots of rain feeding into northern parts of England, so a bit of rain to watch out

01:36for here. Also notice overnight a couple of showers feeding in across parts of Scotland,

01:40but elsewhere some largely clear skies and lots of dry weather to be had. Again, a few

01:44patches of mist and fog to watch out for and also temperatures perhaps even higher than

01:49through Thursday night, so notice in the London area it could be again a pretty uncomfortable

01:54night for sleeping. A quick look towards Saturday then, and for many it is going to be a fine

01:59day, plenty of sunshine to be had, perhaps a little bit cloudier with a few showers to

02:03the far north north west of the UK, but notice temperatures maybe just down a touch compared

02:09to Friday. Some of us may feel that's a little bit more comfortable. However, by Sunday yes

02:14there's a bit of cloud and perhaps some rain toppling over the top of Scotland, but for

02:18many again lots of fine sunny weather to be had and notice those temperatures rising,

02:23so greater chance of getting into the high 20s, mainly in the south east but even across

02:26other parts of England and Wales some mid to high 20s expected, so some hot weather

02:31for most of us. However, temperatures are going to rise further as we go through next

02:35week. Definitely worth keeping up to date with the forecast wherever you are. I'll see

02:38you later.
