00:00Hello, welcome to your latest update from the Met Office. We'll see sunny spells develop

00:04for many areas of the UK through the rest of the afternoon. However, the cloud will

00:09linger for some areas in the southeast. And you can see that cloud on the satellite picture

00:13from this morning draped across central and southeastern areas. That's because we've got

00:17a front that is pushing southeastwards across the country. Behind it is turning much clearer

00:23and brighter, but you can see we've got tighter isobars, so that means the winds will strengthen

00:28across northwestern areas and we'll continue to see some rain in the southeast where that

00:32front lies. So that means across the northwest we've got a breezy afternoon to come. Generally

00:37quite a lot of sunny spells still here, but some pesky showers as well. They could be

00:42heavy at times. Across much of Northern Ireland, Northern England, Wales and parts of southwest

00:47England will be a dry afternoon with plenty of sunny spells. However, in the south and

00:52east, another dull and damp day with some drizzly rain continuing still into the afternoon

00:58and it will be another cool feeling day across southeastern areas, highs of six or seven

01:02degrees. By comparison, though, further west, it'll be a milder day than yesterday with

01:07highs of around 11 or 12 degrees. And those clearer skies across western areas become

01:11more widespread throughout tonight. So temperatures will drop off a little more widely tonight

01:16to expecting a frost for some areas. We'll see some mist and fog developing in the south

01:21and east where we've seen that drizzly rain through much of the day and also a touch of

01:25frost here. Temperatures really dipping down to around minus one or two. But even where

01:30we just see temperatures of around one degrees in the south and east, you could see a calf

01:34frost by tomorrow morning. However, in the north, where we've got the wind staying strong

01:39throughout the night will be frost free and it will be another windy day across parts

01:43of northern Scotland and the hills of northern England as well throughout much of Friday.

01:48We'll also see clouds thicken through much of the day and some drizzly rain on and off.

01:53Further south and east, though, still stay dry through much of the day, particularly

01:57in the south and east across East Anglia and Kent, where we have had quite a dull few days.

02:02It'll be a much brighter afternoon tomorrow. However, after the chillier start, temperatures

02:07will still struggle into the afternoon. By comparison, in the south and west, we've got

02:12temperatures of around 11 or 12 degrees in the south and also in the north as we're picking

02:17up that southerly wind direction, bringing in that milder air ahead of the weekend.

02:23The rain will continue across northern areas through Friday evening and further south.

02:28We'll see clouds thicken generally for many central and western areas, some drizzly rain

02:32across parts of Wales, but it should stay dry across the east. And that theme does continue

02:37into the weekend as we see high pressure continuing to dominate the weather across the south and

02:42east, whilst frontal systems that could bring some waves to them could bring some persistent

02:47rain to parts of northwest Scotland as well as northwest England. But if you'd like more

02:52details on your full weekend forecast, make sure you catch our weekend update with Aidan

02:56on YouTube a little later today. I'll see you later.
