00:00Hello there. The weather remains lively across the UK through the rest of this week before calming

00:05down into the first part of next week. For the time being though you can see where this band of

00:10rain is extending from the south west of Scotland, the Midlands, Northern England, Wales, Central

00:14Southern England. Some brighter skies perhaps across eastern fringes of England, the far north

00:19of Scotland but a relentless wind wherever you are. Showery rain continues across Northern Ireland

00:24with some showers to follow and some heavy showers with the risk of thunder and hail towards Wales

00:28as well as the west country through the afternoon. Temperatures typically coming

00:32in around 10 to 12 celsius but that wind will be persistent as we head through evening time

00:37and certainly it could actually pick up even more strength across western hours as we head

00:42through evening and overnight with gusts up to around 50 miles an hour in places.

00:46But through the night it remains showery. Yes some clearer skies from time to time

00:50but those showers never too far away and again tracking in from the south so that's where we

00:55see the most frequent bursts, heavy bursts with the strongest winds, gusty winds through the early

01:00hours of Saturday morning. But temperatures should hold up so a frost free night for most.

01:06So through Saturday morning we watch as this batch of showery rain continues again

01:11northwards with a strong wind. The winds ease for a time you can see a lull across England and Wales

01:16still with those showers though some sunshine in between and then the next system awaits in the

01:21wings and that will allow the winds to pick up later in the day across the west country as well

01:25as Wales and some heavy rain associated with it as well. So through Saturday evening and overnight

01:32this system again will move across the country. The winds will pick up further strength particularly

01:38across Irish sea coasts and that leads into a fairly wet and windy day as we head into Sunday.

01:44As this system tracks further northwards you can see a squeeze on the isobars and further

01:49bouts of showery rain. All in all yes a very windy end to a windy week. Things as I said will calm

01:56down as we head through next week with a ridge coming in from the east. So here's your summary

02:01for Sunday and I'll see you later.
