00:00Hello. A really slow-moving weather situation at the moment across the UK. So, for some,

00:06if you're stuck under the weather front, it's going to be dull and damp. But either side

00:10of this line of clouds, we do have something a little bit brighter, particularly for Northern

00:15Ireland and eastern parts of England. But say, under this weather front, it's really

00:19quite wet and isn't shifting too far. So, for much of Wales, particularly East Wales,

00:25Midlands, North West England, much of Southern and Central Scotland, it's dull and damp.

00:30Turning a bit drier for South West England, may cheer up a little bit in Pembrokeshire.

00:34Some sunny spells for Northern Ireland and the eastern parts of England as well. And

00:38it's here where we'll see the top temperatures, double digits, 13 as possible, across the

00:43south-east. Whereas, if you're stuck under that rainy zone, just single figures and feeling

00:48pretty bleak, I suspect, that rain will be heavy at times as well. Some brighter colours

00:52mixed in there. And it doesn't really shift too far through the night. It should start

00:57to pull away from Wales, so turning a bit drier here eventually. North West England

01:01too. But for eastern Scotland, North East England, we'll keep outbreaks of rain going

01:06right the way through the night. We'll keep a lot of clouds in most places, but some clear

01:10skies across the far west. So, for Northern Ireland, we will see a touch of frost here.

01:15Belfast may just stay above it. But that weather front, keeping the cloud, keeping the rain,

01:19but also keeping the temperatures up. But it's going to suppress the temperatures again

01:23through Friday. So, again, quite a dull, dismal day for Newcastle down to East Yorkshire and

01:30right up across Aberdeenshire as well. They rain on and off throughout. We'll see some

01:35patchy rain across East Anglia, the East Midlands as well. And we may at times see that rain

01:40come back across North West England into South West Scotland. But again, for the bulk of

01:44western Scotland, certainly the west coast, dry and bright. Northern Ireland, Wales, South

01:48West England, we'll see some sunny spells, but also the possibility of one or two scattered

01:53showers. Generally, a drier day across the West Midlands and here too, maybe a little

01:58bit of sunshine coming through at times. But stuck under that cloud, particularly with

02:01the rain, temperatures not really rising too far. Five, six, seven degrees at best for

02:06North East England, Eastern Scotland. That's, again, going to feel pretty cold. But some

02:10brightness further south. We'll again see temperatures up to double digits. That weather

02:15front kind of clings like a limpet to the east coast as we head through Friday night

02:20and into the weekend and may well linger for much of Saturday for the likes of Eastern

02:24Scotland and North East England. That weather front, as I say, just kind of wriggles around

02:29here. But high pressure is trying to build in across the country and eventually that

02:34weather front disappears. And as the high moves in, most of us will have a dry day on

02:39Sunday. But as the high also shifts in, it will introduce more of an easterly breeze,

02:43certainly for England and Wales, bringing a somewhat colder feel. We'll have a full

02:48weekend forecast for you by Thursday afternoon. So subscribe to our YouTube channels and you'll

02:53never miss a broadcast.
