00:00Hello again. If you're a fan of spring sunshine, you'll enjoy the next couple of minutes and

00:05you'll enjoy the next several days because high pressure continues to dominate, bringing

00:10plenty more blue sky across the country. There is some patchy cloud up to the northwest and

00:15we have seen one or two mist and fog patches first thing this morning, but they're now

00:19clearing away. A cloud bubbling up at times over northern England, a small chance of one

00:24or two showers here, maybe northeast Scotland, most likely over the Grampians. But I say

00:29the vast majority dry and fine with plenty of blue sky and temperatures responding to

00:33that sunshine as well. It was chilly first thing, but by this afternoon with light winds

00:37for most feeling pretty warm, temperatures widely in the high teens, 20 degrees maybe

00:42somewhere close to London up towards Cambridgeshire. Still a bit breezy across Cornwall and the

00:46hours are silly, but even here the winds lighter than over recent days. Light winds and clear

00:51skies will allow temperatures to drop pretty sharply this evening. Again, some mist and

00:56fog patches possible, most likely over parts of northeast England. A little bit more cloud

01:01just slipping in through the night into western Scotland, the western Northern Ireland with

01:05again one or two very isolated showers here. But for most it's dry and it's clear and it

01:10will turn pretty cold again. Temperatures widely down to single figures, low single

01:15figures and so in the countryside, certainly across more southern parts of England and

01:19Wales, we will see a frost for Thursday morning. But we will again see plenty of sunshine and

01:24any mist and fog will clear away pretty rapidly through the morning. Now, there will be more

01:29clouds tomorrow over the Highlands and that cloud just increasing elsewhere across Scotland

01:33and perhaps Northern Ireland having a cloudier day. One or two isolated showers possible

01:38here. Western parts of Scotland and again over northern England, a very isolated shower

01:43can't be completely ruled out. But for the vast majority, it's dry and it's bright, certainly

01:48plenty of sunshine across the south. We'll again see those temperatures well above average

01:53for the time of year, 18, 19, 20 Celsius is possible. A little lower with a bit more

01:59cloud over western Scotland and northern Ireland, but still temperatures here above average

02:03into the mid-teens for many. A bit more of a breeze picking up over the western isles,

02:08some thickening cloud, maybe again one or two showers over the Grampians pushing up

02:12to Aberdeenshire through Thursday evening. But again, very hit and miss. Most places

02:17won't see them and stay dry and clear and well, high pressure is responsible for this

02:22fine weather and it's not shifting too far. At times, weather front is just flirting with

02:27northern Scotland, so perhaps a bit more cloud here into the weekend. But generally, with

02:31that high sitting right over us through Saturday and Sunday, chilly nights, but plenty of warm

02:38sunny spells by day. See how warm we do get by following the Met Office hour by hour on
