00:00Hello there. Welcome to your Friday weather update. Now, through the next 12 hours, still

00:05some showery bursts of rain around. We could even see some higher rainfall totals towards

00:10the east. Low pressure across the UK. This one here is sliding down towards the low countries.

00:16A little bit of a stronger wind associated with it. Elsewhere, weather fronts just floating

00:20across the sky, introducing more cloud outbreaks of rain and some heavier showers towards the

00:25east. Let's pick up on that low pressure system through today then. You can see it's

00:30just bringing with it some outbreaks of rain, which could turn heavy, particularly for the

00:34Channel Islands, and it's pushing up towards the central and southern parts of England

00:38and Wales. Another batch of rain extends from northern England towards northern parts of

00:43Wales. Some heavier bursts through the afternoon along the eastern side. The breeze picks up

00:47for a time, particularly across the west country. Elsewhere, it's pretty much sunshine and showers,

00:52although some thicker clouds through the first part of the afternoon across central

00:55parts of Scotland towards the northeast of England. But you will see the brighter weather

01:00coming through towards the west. A keen breeze for Shetland, brighter skies for Orkney. But

01:05this rain here will be fairly persistent across much of England and east Wales through the

01:10afternoon. Notice these brighter echoes across the eastern side, giving some intense bursts.

01:15Winds fairly light here, not much forcing on this area of rain. But elsewhere, you can

01:20see some sunshine will come through in between some heavy showers. Temperatures, though,

01:24still struggling 11 or 12 degrees Celsius at the very best. Now, through this evening

01:29and overnight, this area of more persistent rain pushes very slowly towards the east.

01:35And you can see again, we could see some higher rainfall totals towards the southeast, clearer

01:39skies elsewhere, a lighter breeze for Northern Ireland, western Scotland, a chance of a frost

01:44here. More of a breeze just pushing down across Wales and the west country, mixing the air

01:48up a little bit. Temperatures along the coast around five, but we could see a three inland

01:53and here hanging on to five or six degrees Celsius under a covering of clouds. And also

01:57that rain anywhere from Lincolnshire towards Kent. This rain slides down towards the low

02:03countries through Saturday morning. The cloud then breaks a little bit, but with a little

02:08bit of sunshine coming through, we'll see one or two quite heavy showers through the

02:12afternoon, brighter skies across more western parts of the country. And that's where the

02:17highest temperatures will be. Fifteen degrees Celsius feeling pleasant in that sunshine

02:21before the cloud thickens from the west. Later on in the day, come Sunday morning, you see

02:27that cloud has brought with it some outbreaks of rain, particularly across western parts

02:30of Scotland, down towards Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and perhaps a little bit

02:34of rain just fringing western parts of Wales through the afternoon, though. Brightest skies

02:38further east, always the chance of some rain further west. But where you see the sunshine,

02:43temperatures could reach 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, feeling pleasantly warm, all courtesy

02:48of a flow coming in from the southwest. That ridge extends then into the first part of

02:53next week before we become under the influence of a Scandinavian high, delivering a southeasterly

02:59or easterly breeze and bringing with it more in the way of clouds. So warmest there possibly

03:03on Monday, with temperatures peaking around 18 or 19 degrees Celsius cooler along the

03:08coast through midweek next week. Bye bye.
