00:00Welcome to your national weather update from the Met Office.
00:03A bit of a messy one out there today.
00:05Some sunshine, a lot of cloud, a bit of rain here and there,
00:09but not a huge amount.
00:10And it's another very warm and humid day across large parts
00:13of southern and eastern England ahead of this weather front.
00:17It's a cold front and slowly it is introducing fresher air,
00:22but it is a slow old process.
00:24On this weather front, there's also quite a bit of cloud
00:27and a little bit of rain, but only really a few showers
00:31extending from the wash down towards Hampshire and Dorset.
00:34Not a huge amount.
00:36And many places, of course, in this area would like a bit of rain.
00:39The far southeast staying dry and mostly sunny.
00:42Some good spirals of sunshine developing over north Wales
00:45and northeast England.
00:46Further north, we've got quite a lot of cloud again
00:49with a few showers here and there,
00:51but we'll also see some blue sky across northern Scotland.
00:53Quite a fresh wind blowing across the far northeast.
00:56Temperatures here in the mid-teens.
00:58But further south, it is another very warm and humid day
01:02with some sunshine across east Anglia and the southeast.
01:05We could get up to 28 or 29 Celsius.
01:08It will turn somewhat fresher here overnight.
01:11That weather front tends to drift through, not bringing much rain,
01:15but introducing cooler air.
01:17Further north, there'll be some heavier rain moving into parts
01:19of Northern Ireland for a time through the evening
01:21and then later in the night across parts of eastern Scotland.
01:24We could see some heavy bursts of rain as well.
01:27A scattering of showers coming into northwest England
01:29and maybe north Wales by dawn.
01:31As I said, a cooler night.
01:33Still quite warm and humid, certainly this evening,
01:35across east Anglia and the southeast.
01:37But by dawn, temperatures in the low to mid-teens foremost
01:42and a little cooler across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
01:44Quite a wet start, though, for the northeast of Scotland.
01:47Some heavy bursts of rain here for a time.
01:49A scattering of showers over northwest England
01:52and we'll see more showers developing over western Scotland
01:55and some for Northern Ireland through the day.
01:57The odd one may trickle down towards the Midlands,
01:59but again, much of the south Midlands, south Wales,
02:02southern England and east Anglia will have another dry day
02:05with probably a bit more sunshine compared to today.
02:08But it won't be as warm, it won't be as humid,
02:10it won't be as sticky, a more comfortable day,
02:13a fresher feel.
02:14Could easily still get into the mid-20s,
02:16but temperatures generally high teens, low 20s
02:19and as I say, a much fresher feel.
02:21Still a few showers keeping going over the northern half of Scotland
02:24during Thursday evening.
02:25Otherwise, most places looking dry and fine with sunny spells.
02:29Perhaps just a few more showers drifting back into Northern Ireland
02:32as we head into Friday morning.
02:34But the outlook is for high pressure to amble its way back in.
02:39These weather fronts may bring a bit of patchy rain
02:41to the northwest during the weekend.
02:43But overall, this high pressure is set to bring a lot more dry weather
02:46through Friday and the weekend and plenty more sunshine as well.
02:49More details on that and our longer-range 10-day trend forecast
02:53that'll be available on YouTube and Facebook by Wednesday afternoon.
