00:00Hello, welcome to your national weather update. Things brightening up today and

00:04then hotting up over the next few days. High pressure is moving in. It's a big

00:10area of high pressure. It's taking its time. We do have a couple of weather

00:14fronts. This disintegrating weather front, this cold front, has introduced

00:18slightly cooler air and brought quite a bit of clouds this morning. But that

00:21cloud is now breaking up. Most places seeing sunny spells. Another weather

00:25front bringing thicker cloud to the highlands, bit of drizzly rain here and

00:29across the Northern Isles. Temperatures responding to the sunshine getting up

00:33into the low 20s, mid 20s, maybe 26 across the southeast. A little cooler on some

00:38coasts and cooler where there's a brisk breeze blowing across Western Scotland.

00:43And we do have that thicker cloud from that weather front. That will continue to

00:46bring some drizzle through this evening and overnight across the highlands in

00:49particular. A bit more cloud will spill into southwest Scotland, Northern Ireland

00:53and eventually through the early hours into northwest England, maybe even into

00:58the Midlands. But much of the south and east will stay dry and clear and

01:01temperatures a little lower than last night's, but still in the teens in most

01:06places. On to Friday and it's another fine day. If you like sunshine, southern

01:12England, eastern England starting sunny and staying that way. Parts of northwest

01:16England taking a while to brighten up along with parts of Scotland. But even

01:20here eventually mostly turning sunny. Just this zone of thicker cloud likely

01:24to persist over parts of the north of Northern Ireland, southwest Scotland

01:27where there will be a little bit of drizzle and still quite breezy across

01:30the north as well. Temperatures here close to average but further south or

01:36widely into the mid 20s, 27, 28 as possible across the southeast. That's a

01:42zone of thicker cloud with drizzly rain will continue to trickle a little

01:47further south as we go through Friday evening. But again most places will be

01:51drier, balmy Friday evening for the south and so there's more fine weather to come

01:56as we go into the weekend. Slight complication that there are these

01:59weather fronts just dangling through this area of high pressure. They will

02:03continue to bring more cloud at times to parts of Scotland and some drizzly

02:08conditions in the far northwest. But generally this high is moving in and as

02:11it continues to move in temperatures will build. Perhaps not as high on

02:15Saturday as Friday but back up on Sunday to quite widely across the south in the

02:20mid to high 20s once more. Again some coasts will be cooler and again

02:25northwest Scotland will be a little more comfortable as well with

02:28temperatures here more likely in the high teens or the low 20s. But

02:31temperatures could rise further for all of us as we go into next week. For more

02:37details on that make sure you stay up to date with the Met Office. Best way to do
