00:00A very good morning to you on this wet Thursday. Rain continues across many

00:05parts of the country today after the wet day we saw yesterday. Rainfall totals

00:09continue to rise and there's an amber warning until lunchtime across North

00:14Wales, North West England as well as Southern Pennines. Low pressure sits

00:18across the country, it's slow moving hence the reason why the weather remains

00:21so wet and quite a breeze coming down the western side of the country as well.

00:26Eventually this low will fill and that means an improving picture through

00:31Friday and into Saturday as temperatures recover a little bit. But for the time

00:36being it's a wet start to the day across much of Scotland and that driving wind

00:40pushing down towards Northern Ireland, some rain towards the eastern side of

00:43Northern Ireland, rain persists across northern and central parts of Wales,

00:47northern counts of England. To the south of that it's a mostly dry morning, the

00:51cloud will break at times, you may even see a glimmer of sunshine as

00:56temperatures rise. However that won't be the case across the northern two-thirds

01:00of the UK. I noticed yet again some heavy pulses of rain churning around the

01:07centre of this low, so yet again we'll see surface water issues, some roads

01:12could be flooded, obviously swollen rivers and with deep water the risk of

01:16strong currents as well. So through the afternoon not a lot of change for most

01:21of Scotland, northern England, northern parts of Wales and again that strong

01:26wind making it feel rather cool. For the western side of Northern Ireland you may

01:30see the sun, it's going to be a bit drier here as it will be the case

01:34across the South Midlands southwards. Here temperatures around 18, 19, 20

01:39Celsius but remaining fairly depressed further north with the rain which will

01:43continue into evening time. Now we should lose the intensity of the rain overnight

01:48on Thursday and into Friday morning as the winds ease a little bit as well. It's

01:54going to be a relatively mild night where you see the cloud persist but some

01:58clearer skies towards more southern areas, temperatures dipping down to well

02:03nine degrees Celsius here as well as clearer skies across the western side of

02:08Northern Ireland, yes yet again single figures here. Now through Friday morning

02:13the legacy of cloud will continue to produce some patchy rain and drizzle and

02:17if you're driving over the high routes there will be a lot of low clouds so

02:21poor visibility. Some brighter weather towards the West Country, central

02:24southern England and the cloud could break elsewhere. One or two showers cropping up

02:29through the afternoon on Friday but they'll be fairly scattered as

02:32temperatures rise around 17, 18, 19 Celsius and your outlook into the

02:37weekend. Well Saturday's looking drier and also warmer, the cloud coming and

02:42going but an increasing chance of seeing some showers on Sunday. See you later.
