00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office.

00:03Still wet across the country as we head through to Thursday, even Friday towards the east,

00:08but things are slowly improving from the west into the weekend.

00:12Now through Wednesday evening, showery rain continues across the bulk of England and Wales,

00:16as well as Scotland, away from the far north east.

00:19Now towards the west, a slow moving band of rain arrives across Northern Ireland,

00:22a keen breeze here as the rain moves across to western Scotland, Wales, as well as the west country.

00:27At the same time, some dry weather to end the day across the south east of England.

00:32Temperatures holding up wherever you are, around 5 to 7, 8 degrees Celsius,

00:36but a windy start to the day across eastern Scotland.

00:39Some clearer skies for Shetland here, even some sunshine before we see more clouds and some showery bursts of rain.

00:45Patchy rain for eastern Scotland, and then this band of more persistent rain continues,

00:50particularly on the upslopes of the higher ground.

00:52By this point though, you can see some dry skies coming in across the south east of Northern Ireland,

00:56west Wales, the west country, eventually seeing even some brighter weather,

01:00and certainly some slices of sunshine for the south east of England,

01:03and they'll migrate towards east Anglia, even Lincolnshire as we head through the afternoon.

01:08So this band of rain is fairly slow moving.

01:10The winds will remain strong across eastern Scotland, and eventually we'll see some rain across Shetland.

01:15Orkney also seeing some showery bursts of rain,

01:17and this rain just stalls across the central spine of the country,

01:20with some showers across Northern Ireland through the afternoon.

01:23Temperatures typically coming in for 13 at the very best,

01:26if you catch some brighter weather towards the south east of England,

01:29generally around 8 to 11 degrees Celsius.

01:32So that's the picture come Thursday.

01:35On Friday, that weather front tends to stall across more eastern counties,

01:40so always more clouds here, even a little rain from time to time,

01:44but a trend to some brighter weather from the west into the weekend.

01:47Yes, it's going to feel quite cold by night, with the risk of frost by day,

01:51temperatures struggling a little bit,

01:53and always more clouds as we head through to the latter part of the weekend,

01:56across more eastern areas.

01:58I'll see you later. Bye bye.
