00:00Hello again. Heavy showers sums it up for most places during the rest of Friday, but

00:05in the north those showers will be slow moving with the potential for some very large rainfall

00:09totals in places. Meanwhile in the south a keen breeze will push the showers through

00:15in theory. However, that breeze could converge so the winds coming together, for example

00:21from the south west towards the south east of England and that would cause a line of

00:28showers to develop which means that some places, if you're under that line, would

00:33get shower after shower whilst either side of the line, largely sunny skies and avoiding

00:38the showers, and a similar line could become established from Wales through to the Midlands

00:43and into Lincolnshire. Meanwhile, further north the showers are slow moving and very

00:48lively indeed across northern England, parts of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland and

00:53in places where you get shower after shower with these slow moving thunderstorms, well

00:58there's the risk of 60 plus millimetres throughout the day. The far north of Scotland, the Northern

01:05Isles, largely avoiding the showers and staying fine, but for many it's simply a day of heavy

01:11downpours, avoiding those downpours by watching the rainfall radar as best you can and it's

01:17going to feel cool, high teens, low twenties at best. There will be some longer spells

01:22of rain, there has been already through the start of Friday for north east Scotland associated

01:26with this occluded front and then that wraps back around into parts of the Irish Sea as

01:31we end the day on Friday and you can see this larger area of rainfall coming into the Irish

01:36Sea affecting south west Scotland and then north west England, parts of north Wales eventually

01:41pushing into the rest of Wales overnight. Meanwhile, showers ease away across central

01:44and eastern England through the night with clear spells but they'll continue across parts

01:48of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland, affecting the Northern Isles by this stage

01:51as well. And it's going to be a mild night with all of that weather happening, temperatures

01:57up at 13 to 15 Celsius but a wet start for western England, for parts of Wales. That

02:02rain pushes east, it breaks up into showers during the morning and showers develop again

02:07widely elsewhere but again there'll be a large difference from place to place and the main

02:12focus for the heaviest downpours will be through parts of Wales into northern England, western

02:17Scotland as well as Northern Ireland where again there'll be slow moving and could cause

02:21disruptions so tricky driving conditions, risk of localised flooding and so on. But

02:26brighter skies return to parts of the south west I think by the afternoon with some sunshine

02:30here albeit with a keen breeze and the far north and north eastern Scotland also seeing

02:34a brighter and drier day compared to Friday. It's again going to feel cool, temperatures

02:40only at about 19 to 21 Celsius, particularly where we get these showers coming through

02:44and some gusty winds associated with the downpours as well, especially towards the

02:47south. And you'll see the showers continue well into Saturday night, especially through

02:52central zones, either side of that, the far south, the far north, largely seeing clear

02:57spells developing. But Sunday effectively is another showery day with the risk of further

03:02slow moving thunderstorms and longer spells of rain in places. So some parts, northern

03:08Ireland, north west England, western Scotland, north Wales could see some very large rainfall

03:13totals over the next couple of days and we'll keep you updated how it all happens, following

03:18us on social media for those updates and of course you can stay across all the forecasts

03:22on the website and app. Bye bye.
