00:00Hello, and welcome to your latest forecast from here at the Met Office.

00:03Although there will be plenty of dry and sunny weather around this weekend,

00:06you can also see a few heavy, perhaps thundery, showers.

00:09So high pressure is in charge of our weather, but we do have these small frontal systems

00:13moving their way in from the southwest. Both tonight and on Sunday,

00:16these could be the focus for those heavy, thundery showers.

00:19So for Saturday afternoon, much of the UK is dry, fine, with plenty of sunny spells around.

00:25Always cloudier up towards Northern Ireland and North West Scotland,

00:28and a few showers are possible there for a time.

00:31Temperatures, though, in the sunshine reach in low 20s for many of us.

00:35However, down towards the southwest, we do see some of these showers starting to develop,

00:39and through the overnight period, they'll move their way

00:42north and eastwards across southern England and Wales.

00:45These could bring some thundery downpours at times.

00:48Other than that, though, it will be a mild night,

00:49with the best of the dry weather up towards Scotland.

00:53So Sunday starts off on a damp note in the south,

00:55with some heavy, possibly thundery showers first thing.

00:58Dry a little bit further north, although still some showers for western Scotland.

01:01Then through the day, more in the way of sunshine,

01:03and even warmer in the southeast corner on Sunday, with highs of 25 degrees possible.

01:08But showers are already queuing up in the south for the overnight period.

01:17I'll speak to you again soon.
