00:00Hello, welcome to the latest update. It's been a rather wet week. In fact, many sites
00:06across the UK have had some of their wettest November days on record. And Friday night
00:12is going to be no exception for the far north east of Scotland. We've still got a couple
00:17of rain warnings in force, in particular an amber rain warning in force for eastern areas
00:23of Aberdeenshire. So some travel disruption is likely and some further surface water and
00:29flooding too. But the rest of the weekend is looking a little bit drier at times. So
00:35through Friday night, the rain will ease across much of northern and eastern areas of the
00:40country, but it will remain quite cloudy and damp at times. Further west, we're going to
00:46see a drier and clearer night. And because of that, a frost developing across quite widely
00:52Northern Ireland, but also southwestern Scotland and the southwest where temperatures could
00:56come down to minus one or minus two degrees. We haven't had a frost in a little while.
01:04So to start on Saturday morning, some bright weather for many western and central areas
01:09of the country. But the east is going to see that rain linger throughout Saturday. So quite
01:15a cloudy and murky day through Saturday across the eastern areas of the UK, but some sunshine
01:22across parts of the southwest, much of Wales, the Midlands and western areas of Scotland
01:27too. So in there, we'll have temperatures up to around 10 or 11 degrees. And but under
01:34the cloud, a cool feeling day, some areas not coming much higher than five degrees across
01:40northeastern areas of England and Scotland. Notice, though, for Saturday evening, heavier
01:46rain is starting to push into Northern Ireland, and that will become more of a feature through
01:52out Sunday. So taking a look at the bigger picture, we've got this band of rain, a front
01:57that's going to push eastwards across the country, driven by this air of low pressure,
02:02pulling with it some cooler air as well. So a bit of a colder feel and an unsettled day
02:08on Sunday. So starting on Saturday night, we've got this murky cloud still lingering
02:14in the east. But meanwhile, this band of quite heavy rain will push eastwards. Now, as that
02:20rain falls into the colder air, it could fall as some snow across the tops of the mountains
02:25in northeastern Scotland, across the Grampians, for example. But further south, we'll see
02:31quite a lot of rain. It could be quite heavy at times. So a bit of a wet night on Saturday
02:36night, turning clearer across the west. But it will be a milder night than Friday night
02:42because we'll have the wind starting to pick up. So quite windy across western coasts throughout
02:49Saturday night and staying windy into Sunday. So a breezier day and a wetter day for many.
02:55Rain lingering across northern areas, some dry weather for a time across central and
03:01eastern areas. But across the west, we'll see quite frequent showers push into the west
03:06and they could be quite heavy and thundery. The winds will be strong across north coast
03:13of Devon and Cornwall, as well as parts of western Scotland too. We could see some coastal
03:18gales for parts of the Western Isles and Highland coasts. Temperatures will be around
03:25average for the time of year, still feeling quite cool across eastern coasts, however,
03:30with only maxing out around seven or eight degrees. Through the rest of the week into
03:38the new week, we will see an unsettled picture continuing, but temperatures will likely start
03:44to pick up from midweek. Have a lovely weekend.
