00:00Hello again. Lots of blue skies and sunshine to come with our weather through this weekend.

00:06Settled and dry with high pressure in charge and it stays in charge throughout the weekend.

00:10A big area of high pressure dominating our UK so it keeps things dry and settled by and

00:18large.

00:19We do have a few weather fronts affecting the far north, mainly through this evening

00:22and into the first part of tomorrow. For Shetland we'll see a little bit of light rain and drizzle

00:26from time to time but for most places it's clear skies through the night and under those

00:31clear skies the nights are still long enough for there to be a touch of frost ones and

00:35twos in some of our colder spots as we start Saturday morning.

00:39But we will of course be compensated by plenty of blue sky sunshine to start the day. It

00:45really is going to be a glorious day out there. For many areas we'll see that sunshine lasting

00:50right the way through the day but don't forget that UV levels are getting to moderate now

00:54at this time of year so for any length of time that you're in the sunshine you can

00:59burn.

01:00But temperatures responding well in that sunshine. Highs of 19 possibly 20 degrees across the

01:05south feeling very warm indeed for this time of year. We should be around 12 or 13 for

01:10the end of March.

01:11A little bit of fair weather cloud will bubble up at times and it does stay a little bit

01:14cloudier across the far north and northeast of Scotland but even here we'll see a few

01:19breaks in that cloud developing and a bit more of a breeze across that southeast corner

01:23through the English Channel. So feeling a touch cooler at times here and that gradual

01:28easterly breeze will just start to drift some low cloud, mist and murk in off the North

01:33Sea as we go through into the early part of Sunday. So for here turning grey, misty and

01:38a little bit murky but out towards the west where we have those clearer skies we'll once

01:42again see another quite cold night into the first part of Sunday morning.

01:47So subtle differences I think with Sunday. We will see more in the way of cloud across

01:52those eastern areas of Scotland and England. Some of that drifts its way into the Midlands

01:56and central southern England I think through the day. So for some places quite a contrast

02:01to Saturday. Still dry but more in the way of cloud around. So I think temperatures will

02:06struggle under that cloud. We may only get to highs of 11 to 13 degrees which will be

02:11several degrees down on Saturday. But some of the highest temperatures will be for the

02:15likes of Devon and Cornwall, parts of south west Wales, maybe northern Ireland we could

02:19see 17 or 18 degrees here.

02:24Now as we look ahead in towards the start of next week, high pressure stays close by

02:28but it does start to just dwindle to the north and what that means is we start to see our

02:33air coming down from the north east. So through Monday, Tuesday still much more of the same

02:37weather if a little bit more in the way of cloud. But by Wednesday and going onwards

02:42into the week we start to drag in some colder air from the north east. So things are set

02:47to turn colder for many areas by the time we get to Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures

02:53coming down much closer to average possibly even a touch below.

02:57So quite a bit going on with our weather going ahead. Of course on UV levels you can stay

03:01up to date with those on our website. But for the weekend weather forecast you can check

03:05us out on our social media and I'll see you soon. Take care.
