00:00Hello there. Welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office. Wednesday was quite a

00:04cloudy and chilly day across much of the UK. And the reason for that is high pressure has

00:10been in control of our weather and will continue to be in control, meaning slow moving weather

00:14systems over the course of the rest of the week. Though behind me we do see some weather

00:19thunders trying to get in. These may reach us as we move into the bank holiday weekend.

00:24So a sign of some rain to come, but not for all of us, generally across the north and

00:29the west of the UK. Through the rest of Wednesday evening, overnight into Thursday morning,

00:35the clouds should thin and break. We'll see some lengthy clear skies developing. So we'll

00:39see a frost returning across the rural parts of England and Wales, southern Scotland here.

00:44Towns and cities generally holding up above freezing 2 or 3 Celsius, but minus 2, minus

00:503 degrees is possible in the countryside. Thicker cloud though, holding up those temperatures

00:55across the far east and south east of England. Perhaps the cloud thick enough by the end

00:59of the night into Thursday morning, just for the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. But

01:03I think most places dry, with sunshine to greet us for many across the UK into Thursday

01:09morning. But as the day goes on, thicker cloud will bubble up and push its way westwards

01:14once more. So skies tending to turn greyer as the day goes on. But the best of the sunshine

01:19will be across parts of Wales, south west England, western fringes of Scotland and Northern

01:24Ireland seeing some sunny spells too, with most places dry. Under the cloud though, another

01:28fairly chilly day, 11, 12, 13 degrees, even cooler than this along some North Sea coasts.

01:34But in that sunshine, 16 or 17 degrees is possible. Then through Thursday evening, we'll

01:40see once more the clouds starting to ebb away. We'll see clearing skies once more overnight,

01:46which sees the return of those chilly temperatures. Temperatures dropping to single figures in

01:51towns and cities and in the countryside. We could just about see patchy frost once

01:56more across most prone locations, this time parts of Northern England, Northern Ireland

02:00as well, seeing temperatures of minus 2 or minus 3 degrees. So another chilly start to

02:06Friday morning, but plenty of sunshine across the whole of the UK. But again, eastern areas

02:11of the UK holding on to some thicker cloud. But most places should be dry. And then through

02:16the day on Friday, we'll see the cloud start to push its way westwards again, expanding.

02:21But there is a bit of uncertainty of how far westwards this will go. So the best of

02:25the sunshine will be across parts of Wales, South West England, Northern Ireland as well,

02:30and Western Scotland, seeing a dry day with sunny spells, just one or two showers across

02:34the highlands. And temperature wise, well, another good day in that sunshine, just starting

02:39to feel a bit warmer, 14, 15, 16 degrees, possibly locally 17, but still chilly along

02:46some eastern coast here, 12 or 13 at the very best. So over the next few days, we should

02:52see temperatures at night and by day starting to rise. But if you'd like more information

02:56on this, you can visit us on our social media websites. I'll see you again soon.
