00:00Hello there, welcome to your Thursday morning weather update from the Met Office.

00:04If you want a nice sunrise this morning, it's really the west where we're seeing clearer skies, it's rather chilly.

00:09Now further east, an onshore breeze, breeze coming in from the southeast, flowing over a cold North Sea,

00:15will keep temperatures rather depressed and also more in the way of cloud.

00:19High pressure always centred across Scandinavia through the next 48 hours.

00:23Now through this morning, you can see where the sunshine is, western Scotland.

00:27A few showers running in across Shetland as well as Orkney,

00:30and that cloud is stubborn across central and eastern areas of Scotland.

00:33Now, for Northern Ireland, you'll see the cloud break at times, particularly places such as Antrim.

00:38The Isle of Man seeing more cloud from time to time,

00:40North West England also seeing some cloud breaks,

00:43and some brighter weather across the Irish Sea coast down towards the west country, central southern England.

00:47But notice further east, you could run into some fog across central and eastern areas of England through this morning,

00:54and that cloud will be low over Pennines as well.

00:57Some showery bursts just hanging around the far southeast of England.

01:00In fact, through the day, we will see showers develop by around mid to late morning

01:05across central and southern parts of England and Wales.

01:09Now towards the north west of Scotland, you'll fare well through today with some sunshine,

01:14and the sun will come out from time to time across Northern Ireland, west Wales as well, seeing that bright weather.

01:19But notice these showers slowly moving their way northwards as well as westwards,

01:23developing across northern England through the afternoon, mostly scattered,

01:27but through the latter part of the day, they could turn a bit heavier further south.

01:31And quite a breeze down towards the west country, western parts of Scotland,

01:35also seeing a keen breeze far north and northeast.

01:38Along this east coast, feeling cold, particularly with the wind 8 or 9 degrees Celsius,

01:43but inland, we could see a 12 or 13.

01:46Now through this evening and overnight, these showers will continue their passage northwards and westwards.

01:52Notice across the North Sea, that's a lot of cloud there,

01:55and some showery bursts gathering and pushing across central and eastern areas of Scotland.

01:59The air is cold. We could see a little bit of winteriness over the higher ground as we head into Friday morning.

02:05Temperatures then dipping down to around 2, 3, 4 degrees Celsius.

02:09Particularly across more southern areas in shelter, you could see a patchy frost to start the day on Friday,

02:14and even the odd fog patch.

02:16The wind, though, mixing the air up through Friday, and it could turn rather gusty, particularly over the higher ground.

02:22But we will see some brighter skies emerging across central and eastern areas of England towards Wales through the day.

02:27At the same time, these showery bursts continue to push towards more northern areas of Scotland.

02:32But in shelter across western Scotland, yet again, you'll see some brighter weather.

02:36Temperatures struggling generally, we'll see double digits down towards the south.

02:40Wherever you are, take care, have a good 24 hours, and I'll see you again soon.
