00:00Hello. A good deal of cloud in the forecast over the coming days and in fact into the

00:05weekend as well, with a blocked pressure pattern keeping things fairly static. And this afternoon

00:12is no exception. We have a lot of cloud across the country associated with a weather front

00:17and that cloud is thick enough to produce some outbreaks of mainly light rain or drizzle

00:21at times. Having said that, there will be some brightness around. Parts of East Anglia

00:27and the south-east will see some sunshine, as will some western extremities of the country.

00:32And it will be quite a mild day as well, despite the breeze, which will be noticeable,

00:36but the breeze coming from a southerly direction, so drawing up some

00:40milder air than we might expect at this time of year. Now, through this evening and overnight,

00:46we keep hold of a lot of cloud, further outbreaks of rain at times, a few clearer spells, but they

00:52will be fairly limited. So, all in all, a lot of cloud overnight tonight will keep those

00:56temperatures up, a fairly mild night for most of us to come. And then we start to see this next

01:02weather system pushing in from the south-west during the start of Friday and gradually making

01:08its way northwards as the day progresses. So, this will introduce a band of more persistent

01:13rain for a time. There could be some heavy bursts within that and then clearing to sunshine and

01:18showers from the south-west as that weatherfront clears through. So, most of us seeing some rain

01:25of some kind during the course of the day tomorrow and there could be some heavy bursts at times. But

01:30again, it's another fairly mild day for the time of year. And again, it is a breezy one. In fact,

01:34the breeze picking up in comparison with today. Now, through Friday evening, it's more of the

01:40same. The weatherfront continues to make its way northwards, showers feeding in behind. Some of

01:45those will be on the heavy side, perhaps even the odd rumble of thunder and there will be some

01:50clearer spells in between. And it's more of the same as we head into the weekend. A lot of cloud

01:55around, some outbreaks of rain at times, but occasional brighter spells. Staying breezy,

02:01but staying on the mild side. That's it from me. I'll see you again soon.
