00:00Good morning. It's going to be another cloudy and mild day for many of us. There's also

00:04some heavy rain to come with rain warnings in force for some areas of England and Wales.

00:09But this morning, the heaviest rain is across many areas of Scotland, particularly across

00:13the southwest of Scotland. That's where we'll see some very heavy rain through the rest

00:16of the morning as well. Also, Northern Ireland seeing some heavy rain for the next few hours.

00:21Elsewhere, across many areas of England and Wales, the heaviest rain will have cleared

00:25through for now, but they'll still be feeling quite muggy and murky out there. Temperatures

00:29only as low as eleven or twelve degrees. This band of rain will push into parts of

00:34South Wales and many areas of Devon and Cornwall. That's where we've got some rain warnings

00:38in force for the afternoon. We'll also see some heavy rain across parts of the Midlands

00:42and we're quite sensitive to further heavy rainfall in these areas. So there'll probably

00:46be some spray on the roads, perhaps some travel delays in these areas ahead of this band of

00:51rain in the south and east, though it's quite a different story. It should stay largely

00:55dry throughout today. And because we have got such mild air, if we do see any sunny

01:00breaks in the cloud, temperatures will climb as high as 17 degrees. Also notice the far

01:06north of Scotland. The story changes quite a lot by this afternoon. It should turn much

01:10drier and perhaps a little brighter by the end of the day. The rain will push into the

01:16southeast through the evening, though some quite heavy bursts of rain to come through

01:21the final hours of Thursday here. Behind it, though, it should turn much clearer and

01:26drier for many areas, some clearer spells. It will be a slightly cooler night tonight.

01:31However, Friday is looking a much improved story for many of us. We've got a ridge of

01:35higher pressure building in, so that will bring some sunny spells through Friday. A

01:40lot of drier weather as well. It won't be entirely dry. There will still be a few isolated

01:44showers here and there, but the rain will be nowhere near as heavy as we're expecting

01:48through the course of today. So we'll be also feeling mild still. We've still got mild

01:52air, so highs around 15 or 14 degrees on Friday. And then as we head into the weekend, well,

01:59it's looking mild still, but we will see some further heavy rain. But if you want more details
