00:00Hello, very good morning to you. Whilst there is some warm air coming into southern parts,

00:04we do have some very wet weather on the way for more northern areas as we go into the

00:08weekend. Starting off looking at this morning and it's a wet picture across parts of Northern

00:12Ireland into southern Scotland, northern England and perhaps far northern parts of Wales as

00:17we go through the day as well. For other parts of Scotland there's actually going to be a

00:21decent amount of dry and bright weather, especially for more eastern areas, though turning cloudier

00:25as we go through the afternoon. Also some decent dry sunny weather across central southern

00:30parts of England and Wales and here with some warm air pushing its way in, we're likely

00:34to see temperatures rising to around 22 or 23 Celsius, a little bit cooler further north.

00:40Later on as we go through this evening, heavier rain pushing its way in from the west affecting

00:45parts of Scotland as we go through Friday night into Saturday morning. That's in association

00:49with a front that's going to invigorate and become more active as it pushes its way across

00:55Scotland. Elsewhere and although it's a wet picture across Scotland, for much of the UK

01:00it's actually going to be largely dry overnight and there'll be some clear skies so watch

01:03out for a few pockets of mist and fog first thing on Saturday morning. But it's not going

01:08to be especially chilly, many places, particularly in your towns and cities are going to hold

01:12up well into double figures, lots of places only dropping to lows of around 14 or 15 Celsius.

01:18So for many a mild start on Saturday but as you can see across Scotland it really is going

01:22to be a wet picture from the get go and a really wet day. Because of the active front

01:27we're going to see some high rainfall totals building up, even in places where we don't

01:32usually see such high totals. The heavy rain won't be confined just to the higher ground,

01:36we could see some high totals to lower levels. Some places could get in excess of 100mm,

01:42which is why we have a warning out, we could see some disruption to travel, some localised

01:46flooding is quite likely across parts of Scotland. Elsewhere and across the bulk of England,

01:50Wales and even Northern Ireland, it's actually going to be a largely fine day, plenty of

01:54sunshine and with increasingly warm air coming up from the south, we're going to be even

01:59warmer tomorrow than it will be today with highs of around 24 or possibly 25 Celsius.

02:05That rain does continue as we go through the night into Sunday but eventually clears its

02:10way northwards to the far north of Scotland with then the fine weather becoming more dominant

02:14across the bulk of the UK and even warmer air, which is why temperatures are likely

02:18to peak on Sunday in the mid, possibly high 20s, could get to around 26 or possibly 27

02:25Celsius, so unusually warm for this stage in October. There is more information about

02:30the warning across our social media, on our app and our website, also more information

02:35about the warmth. I'll see you later, bye bye.
