00:00Hello again. If you check out our 10-day trend on the Met Office YouTube channel, you'll

00:05find that there are strong signals of a significant change in the weather next week. But for the

00:11next few days at least, the weather stays changeable. It stays showery. In fact, during

00:16the evening, we're likely to see some longer spells of rain into the south and southeast,

00:20perhaps running up through eastern parts of England as well as parts of northern England

00:25and eastern Scotland by the end of the night. Showers generally elsewhere, although there

00:29will be some clear spells, particularly northern and western Scotland, western Northern Ireland,

00:33towards the southwest as well, where we get clear spells, temperatures in the single figures

00:37in sheltered spots first thing. But Thursday, we can expect more of the same. Low pressure

00:42to the northwest, driving occluded fronts around it, and in between those occluded fronts,

00:49sunshine and showers effectively. But the occluded fronts will provide a focus for longer

00:52spells of rain. For example, eastern Scotland first thing Thursday, and eastern parts of

00:56northern Ireland, some wetter weather could cause a few issues. But for most, it's scattered

01:03showers. And with light winds, those showers will be slow moving. So we can expect in some

01:09places, shower after shower. In other places, sunny spell after sunny spell. So it's going

01:14to be very mixed, hit and miss downpours, hail and thunder possible towards central

01:18and southern parts of the country, and slightly below average temperatures, even where we

01:23get some sunshine coming through, 18 to 22 Celsius. Windward coasts, most likely to see

01:29drier and sunnier weather. So where we've got a bit of an onshore breeze, those showers

01:33mostly avoiding places. Although into the evening, there'll still be some showers around.

01:39This area of rain threatens the far northeast by the start of Friday. But otherwise, Friday

01:46starts off with, again, clear spells, some sunshine in places, and a few showers, and

01:51a cool start once again. A bit of a breeze towards the far south, but otherwise light

01:55winds on Friday. Feeling pleasant enough, where we get some sunshine first thing. But

02:00through the day, you can see the showers quickly bubble up. The air very unstable at the moment.

02:06And by the afternoon, those showers focused across eastern Scotland, eastern parts of

02:10England, particularly in the north. Whilst towards the southwest, a better chance of

02:15drier and brighter weather arriving. Nevertheless, temperatures still a little below average

02:21for the time of year. Later Friday, the showers ease away, but Saturday brings with it further

02:28showers, in some places longer spells of rain. But eventually, through Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

02:34the weather will turn more settled. And later next week, signs that it will warm up too.
