00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather forecast from the Met Office. As we go through this

00:04weekend for a lot of us there's going to be plenty of dry weather around but quite cloudy

00:08too. That's all to do with this area of high pressure. It will keep things settled as we

00:12go through the course of the weekend but it also will come with a fair bit of cloud. Also

00:17quite breezy for many eastern and southern areas and that will certainly take an edge

00:21off the temperatures too. So Friday evening you can see quite a lot of cloud out there

00:26first thing but a lot of this will melt away especially across many western and southern

00:30parts of the country. Still the risk of a few showers is coming in across the North

00:34Sea coast as we go through the course of the night. So here actually temperatures probably

00:38disdain just above freezing but the further west you go certainly the risk of a widespread

00:43frost developing especially for Scotland and Northern Ireland could see temperatures as

00:47low as minus 4 or minus 5 in a few spots. But compensation will be plenty of sunshine

00:52across many western and southern parts of the country as we start Saturday morning.

00:57But a cloud across the east will spread its way a bit further westwards as we go through

01:01the course of the day. So basically the afternoon a mixture of cloud and sunny spells for a

01:05lot of the country. Maybe hanging on to more in the way of sunshine for western Scotland

01:10and Northern Ireland as the afternoon goes on. But for many temperatures around 7 or

01:148 degrees but feeling fairly chilly especially where we continue to see this fairly brisk

01:19wind down towards East Anglia and the south east of England. Saturday evening most of

01:26the cloud across the west fading away so again allowing a widespread frost to develop here.

01:32Further east continue to see the risk of some showers coming in but again that will keep

01:36temperatures on the positive side as we start Sunday morning. And really Sunday is going

01:41to be a very similar day to Saturday. Lots of dry weather around still the risk of a

01:45few showers coming in from the North Sea. Maybe reaching the Midlands at times too.

01:51And overall quite a lot of cloud for a good chunk of England and Wales where the best

01:54of sunshine on Sunday for western Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. Temperatures

01:59very similar 7 or 8 degrees quite widely across the country but across the North Sea and down

02:05the English Channel that will be tempered somewhat by that fairly keen breeze. And that

02:09settled spell does look like it will continue as we go into the next weeks. But you can

02:14find out more about that on our website or through our various social media channels

02:18but that's all from me for now.
