00:00Hi there, we've seen some wet weather in places and that rain is moving north

00:04across the UK during the rest of the day followed by a mixture of bright spells

00:09and showers. The weather fairly unsettled at the moment with the low pressure

00:12sitting to the southwest that's bringing these areas of rain or showers

00:16northwards also bringing relatively mild air north but it's been a chilly start

00:22for parts of Scotland and here also we've seen areas of rain, this is the

00:26satellite and radar from earlier, we've seen outbreaks of rain moving north

00:30across the far north of Scotland that will stick around for some time across

00:33Shetland whilst the next band of rain moves into parts of northern England

00:37southern and central Scotland as well as Northern Ireland through the day.

00:41Brighter skies elsewhere, a good deal of cloud but with some sunshine coming

00:45through for northern and northwest Scotland and also for southern parts of

00:50the country but as temperatures rise here you can see some heavy downpours

00:54especially for Wales in the southwest. We're looking at highs of 19 to 20

00:59Celsius towards the southeast whilst it will be notably cold for the coast of

01:04northeast Scotland and northeast England particularly when the persistent wet

01:09weather arrives during the afternoon and early evening. Northwest Scotland seen

01:13some shelter and highs of 13 Celsius here but across much of Scotland it's a

01:18wet night when that rain persisting and turning heavy at times for eastern parts

01:23of the country. Elsewhere a lot of cloud remaining, some clear spells but fairly

01:28misty murky around southern and western coasts of the UK and also around the

01:33North Sea coast of northeast Scotland with that rain hanging on but of course

01:37with the cloud and the rain and the wind temperatures holding up we're looking at

01:4210 or 11 Celsius first thing for England and Wales, 5 to 6 for Scotland and

01:47Northern Ireland. It's a dull and damp start then for many, a lot of low cloud

01:52mist and fog around some southern and western coasts. It will slowly brighten

01:57up inland and the rain for northeast Scotland eventually peters out but a

02:02good deal of cloud remains I think for eastern Scotland whilst sunny spells

02:06emerge elsewhere and as temperatures rise heavy showers will develop

02:11particularly for the heart of England and Wales, eastern Wales as well as

02:15central England seeing the potential for some fairly lively downpours. Away from

02:20the showers though high teens and in places low 20s could see a 22 Celsius

02:25somewhere from say the West Country through to the east of England and

02:30further north it will be also a little milder compared to Tuesday with the wind

02:36coming in from a different direction and taking that rain away with it. So on

02:40Wednesday night clear spells breaking out, still a few showers continuing

02:44especially towards the northeast but otherwise a drier interlude and on

02:49Thursday a brighter skies for many and that warm weather continues into the

02:54start of the Easter weekend.
