00:00Hello, more of the same over the next few days as a jet stream pointed from the south-west

00:06continues to deliver both warmth and wet windy weather. Now that jet stream is dipping to

00:11the west of the UK, it's within this zone where various small areas of low pressure

00:16and weather fronts are spawning and they are brought to us from the south-west. So bouts

00:22of wet weather, fairly breezy but warm at the same time. Certainly a mild night to come

00:28on Thursday night, a lot of cloud across the country, a few showers possible for a time

00:31across the Midlands, they clear away. And then mostly dry ahead of the next system that

00:38brings increasingly wet weather during the early hours into Northern Ireland, Western

00:41Scotland, North West England, Wales and the south-west. And the winds pick up as well,

00:46risk of gales around some of these exposed western coasts, 50mph winds in places. Look

00:52at those temperatures, first thing Friday, now these would be considered mild for the

00:56afternoon at this time of year, let alone dawn. 15-16C in the south, 13-14C in the

01:03north and a gloomy start to Friday, a wet and windy start in the west certainly, a lot

01:10of cloud and rain pushing through. It tends to push towards the north-east, that means

01:15we don't see much rain in the south-east, if any at all and actually it brightens up

01:19here by lunchtime. Sunny spells returning for England, Wales, Northern Ireland after

01:24that wet and windy start. It stays breezy, the breeze pushes the rain to the north of

01:28Scotland and for central belt southwards really, we've got those brighter skies and it is going

01:33to feel warm once again, 17-19C in the south, 15-16C in the north, but always with that

01:41brisk breeze, a wet end to the day for the north of Scotland nevertheless. That rain

01:47clears through, further showers come along for Northern Ireland into Western Scotland,

01:51parts of north-west England, but another spell of rain starts to appear by the early

01:57hours of Saturday, that pushes north. A few showers for south-east England, but once again

02:02south-east England avoiding the heavier and more persistent rain and some clear spells

02:07further north, but I think most places will be cloudy overnight and as a result it's another

02:12mild night, perhaps not as mild but still well above average for the time of year. The

02:17rain in the south moves north during Saturday morning pushing into northern England, southern

02:22Scotland, northern Ireland by mid to late morning and then by 2 or 3pm reaching the

02:26central belt. It does tend to clear further south, although I think there will be further

02:30spells of rain into parts of Wales and the south-west, some showers and that wind as

02:35well continuing to be on the strong side, especially for western coast, but some brightness

02:40emerging behind the early rain and just ahead of it as well for northern Scotland and wherever

02:46you are, it's going to be a mild if not warm afternoon. Temperatures in some parts of

02:51the south-east climbing up to 21, 22 Celsius if we see enough sunshine. Saturday night

02:57then sees those outbreaks of rain clear away. Sundays are bright and breezy day with further

03:02heavy showers at times and the weather stays very changeable next week, but temperatures

03:07start to trend downwards.
