00:00Hello there, I'm Greg Dewhurst. Welcome to your latest broadcast from the Met Office.

00:05High pressure continues to dominate the weather seen as we move right through the rest of

00:09the weekend and indeed much of next week as well. We can see that on the synoptic chart.

00:14Huge area of high pressure over the UK keeping it settled. North-easterly breeze will filter

00:19in a few showers at times though over the next few days.

00:24So taking a look at the details for the end of Saturday, clear spells across the country.

00:29Still the risk of a few showers filtering in from the North Sea though most of these

00:33light few and far between. Though they could be a little bit wintry over the highest tops.

00:37Under the clearest skies temperatures will fall away once again, minus two to minus five

00:42in the countryside but as you can see towns and cities generally holding up just above

00:46freezing. So there will be a frost to start Sunday morning but blue skies particularly

00:51in the west, cloudier skies in the east. Once again the risk of a few showers moving in

00:56from the North Sea. And through the day what we'll see is the cloud starts to bubble up

01:00and also push westwards. So into the afternoon there will be quite a lot of cloud around

01:04but I'm hopeful there will be some sunny spells. The best of these most likely towards south-east

01:09England and also across central and north-west Scotland. Temperatures overall generally around

01:14average seven to nine Celsius but with the winds generally coming in from the north-east

01:19it will feel chillier than the numbers suggest. The wind picking up as well across the far

01:23south-east of England into the afternoon. Through into the evening time the cloud starts

01:27to melt away once more. There could still be a few showers moving in from the North

01:32Sea across eastern parts of England. The clearest skies across parts of Scotland, perhaps south-west

01:37England for a time too. Under the clearest skies again temperatures falling below freezing,

01:42perhaps just holding up above freezing where the cloud remains and the risk of one or two

01:46showers continues. So it means a mixed start to Monday morning. There will be some frost

01:51and sunny spells around, thicker cloud across the east. This tends to spread westwards as

01:55we go through the day, limiting the amount of brightness and sunshine but I'm hopeful

02:00there will be a few glimmers from time to time. The best of the sunshine holding on

02:04most likely across parts of Northern Ireland, western Scotland and as you can see still

02:09some showers moving in from the North Sea, perhaps drifting a little further inland towards

02:14the Midlands by Monday afternoon. And temperatures once again similar, seven to nine Celsius.

02:20Will there be any change over the next few days? Well looking at the pressure pattern,

02:24not really. It stays near, if not over the UK, this high pressure. It does drift a little

02:29bit further northwards but a lot of dry weather to come, the risk of one or two light showers

02:34and winds continue to come in from the north east, a fairly chilly direction. If you'd
