00:00Hi there, we've still got some rain or showers to move through overnight but by Friday the

00:05weather settles down for a brief period, a drier interlude as we end the working week.

00:11But initially on Thursday evening some wet weather out there across western parts of

00:15the UK, some gusty winds as well. That rain pushes into the east by about midnight followed

00:19on by a greater chance of some clear spells but also further showers coming into western

00:24parts. Where we do get clear spells, increasingly through the night, we'll see temperatures

00:28falling away, especially across northern Scotland where widespread frost will form

00:34and temperatures in some parts as low as minus four to minus six Celsius, somewhere like

00:39Altona Harrow for example which was also the coldest spot on Thursday morning. We'll see

00:44some freezing fog patches in the north of Scotland, Northern Ireland also a few fog

00:48patches around, mist patches elsewhere across the UK where winds fall light overnight and

00:53a bit of a chill in the air first thing Friday no matter where you are with plenty of bright

00:58weather on offer although there'll still be some showers around, clearing eastern parts

01:02first thing and some showers continuing to feed into western coasts. These become fewer

01:06and further between by the afternoon, a better chance of dry and sunny weather emerging across

01:11the country. One or two fog patches in the north of Scotland could persist into the afternoon,

01:16it will stay cold here where that happens but otherwise temperatures bouncing back to

01:20around six to eight Celsius across Scotland and Northern Ireland, nine to twelve Celsius

01:25England and Wales, a fine crisp autumn day. But by the end of the afternoon the next weather

01:31system making an appearance into Cornwall, parts of Pembrokeshire for example, that then

01:37during the evening pushes into Northern Ireland, Wales, the southwest of England, increasingly

01:42soggy conditions once again, the winds picking up. Now ahead of that we'll see clear spells

01:47and a frost quite early on in the night across eastern and northeastern parts of the UK but

01:52by the end of the night those temperatures are recovering as the wind, the cloud and

01:56the rain spread widely. So a frost, yes, north of Scotland, north-east Scotland, parts of

02:03Aberdeenshire for example, minus two Celsius possible earlier on in the night but by the

02:08end of the night most places are mild but also increasingly wet and windy. Risk of fifty

02:14mile an hour wind gusts or perhaps more along the English Channel coast there as this system

02:19moves through. It's bringing a lot of rain, could be some issues first thing across southwestern

02:25parts but it does clear through by the afternoon. So it's a wet start to the day for many, the

02:30heaviest rain towards the southwest and then that wet weather pushes its way eastwards

02:35during the morning along with a strong wind for many. By the afternoon some brighter skies

02:40emerge but also frequent blustery showers into Northern Ireland and Scotland. Longer

02:44spells of rain possible even in the odd rumble of thunder along with gusty winds but some

02:49gaps in the cloud also so perhaps some drier and brighter weather by the afternoon. However

02:54for many places it is going to stay grey and damp through much of the day but with that

03:00southwesterly wind of course it is also going to be mild, fifteen Celsius in places. Then

03:06into Sunday further blustery showers expected and we keep the mild air for a time before

03:11a trend back towards average into next week.
