00:00Hello there and welcome to your latest updates from the Met Office. It's been a

00:04fine and bright start to the weekend for many of us. The latest satellite image

00:08shows some of the higher base clouds that's just making the sunshine a bit

00:12hazier. We do also have outbreaks of rain pushing into northwest Scotland in

00:17particular and these will continue to come and go over the course of Saturday

00:21afternoon filtering into other western areas as well. Further south and east

00:27some sunny intervals coming through and in that sunshine it will feel pleasantly

00:31warm with highs of 21 degrees. It is also worth noting that UV levels are high so

00:37if you are out and about in the sunshine then do protect your skin. The cloud

00:42across Scotland and northwestern areas just making it feel that bit cooler and

00:46the rain will continue into Saturday evening turning more persistent at times

00:50as well with breezy conditions. The clearer skies across England will allow

00:55for some mist and fog patches to form and rural spots potentially turning a

01:00bit chillier down to mid single figures but towns and cities overall holding up

01:04around 10 degrees as we move into Sunday morning. Sunday will be a relatively

01:09similar day with that northwest southeast split continuing so some good

01:14sunshine coming through over southeast England whereas we'll see the rain

01:19continuing across northwestern areas turning a bit more showery into the

01:23afternoon with a potential for those to be heavy at times with the odd rumble of

01:27thunder. Temperatures holding back once again underneath the clouds and rain

01:31further northwest but in that sunshine in the southeast temperatures climbing

01:36even further than Saturday with highs of 24 degrees. It is a case though if you

01:41are on the southeast to make the most of it through the weekend as these

01:44unsettled conditions will spread more widely across the UK into next week. To

01:49keep up to date with all of that then do make sure to stay following us on

01:54social media and we'll see you again here soon.
