00:00Hello, it's been a cloudy day for most of us today, but there has been some sunny spells

00:05around. However, more cloud and rain is on the way as we head through this evening. This

00:09is all due to an area of low pressure that will skirt its way across the south of the

00:13UK, bringing some very wet and windy weather to many parts into Friday morning. But a change

00:18is on the way. We see high pressure developing out to the west of the UK, bringing something

00:22a little bit more settled, but something a little bit colder through Saturday and Sunday.

00:28Back to the here and now though, and that rain that we can see across the very far south

00:31of the UK slowly pushes its way north and eastwards through Thursday evening and into

00:36Friday morning, bringing some very heavy rainfall totals, particularly across parts of Wales

00:40and southwest England. Further north, ahead of that band of rain, we see another band

00:44of rain sinking its way southwards across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with

00:48some clearer spells behind, albeit with some scattered showers too. Under those clear skies

00:53across parts of Scotland, temperatures dropping down into single figures, and we could see

00:57the odd patch of frost possible. But further south, under all that cloud and rain, another

01:01mild night, those temperatures holding up widely into the double figures. So a mild,

01:06a murky, grey, damp start across the south of the UK through Friday morning. That band

01:11of rain will slowly sink its way south and eastwards through the day on Friday, but further

01:16north, another dry day, plenty of sunny spells around, those showers pushing in from the

01:21west as we head through the afternoon, and perhaps turning a little wintry across the

01:25high ground of Scotland, turning very windy across the north as well, where we could see

01:29some gales possible later through the afternoon. A much fresher feel to the day across Scotland

01:34as well, temperatures not reaching much above 10, 11, maybe 12 degrees, but further south,

01:39under all that cloud and rain, temperatures perhaps reaching 20, maybe 21 degrees, although

01:44not feeling too warm with those stronger winds that we're likely to see. Through Friday evening,

01:50that band of rain across the south-east of the UK slowly clears its way towards the south-east,

01:55leaving a much drier night for most places, plenty of clear skies developing, perhaps

01:59the odd patch of mist and fog possible in places, but further showers pushing in from

02:03the west, particularly across Northern Ireland, parts of Northern England and parts of Scotland

02:07as well, seeing those showers continue. A much chillier night as well on Friday night

02:12and into Saturday morning, more widely dropping down into the single figures, and again a

02:16touch of frost possible across the highlands of Scotland. So Saturday starts a much drier

02:22and brighter day, plenty of sunshine around through the morning. Those showers continue

02:26to spread in from the north-west though, becoming a bit more widespread as we head through Saturday

02:29afternoon. We could see the odd heavy downpour, and for Scotland, those showers more widely

02:34turning wintry over the hills, with a few places seeing some accumulations possible.

02:39A much fresher feel to Saturday as well, with that north-westerly wind, temperatures not

02:43reaching much above 14 or 15 degrees, so a much more autumnal feel to the day on Saturday

02:48compared to what we've seen recently. That fresher feel likely to continue as we head

02:53through Sunday as well, but you can find out more about that forecast on our YouTube channel
