00:00Hello there, welcome to your latest update. Staying mild for the bulk of the UK, but it'll

00:04also be quite wet for the next few days with a lot of cloud around. This is the latest

00:09satellite and radar from this morning. You can see some very bright colours on the radar

00:13showing some heavy rain that's pushed through, particularly across the south coast, but also

00:17many areas further north as well. North Wales, north-west England, as well as much of central

00:22southern Scotland have also seen some quite heavy bursts of rain. And through the rest

00:26of the day, we'll continue to see heavy rain in these similar areas, particularly the south

00:29coast, also northern England and southern Scotland as well. Away from the rain, though,

00:34there's still going to be a lot of cloud around. There's lots of coastal fog as well as over

00:38the hills. And because we've got fairly light southerly winds at the moment, any fog will

00:42be quite slow to clear. So it'll be quite a murky afternoon out there. However, across

00:47the far north of Scotland, it's a very different story. The wet weather hasn't quite reached

00:52here, so it's going to be a fairly bright afternoon. But it is cooler here than elsewhere,

00:56with only highs of around 5 or 7 degrees. But in the south, highs of 15 degrees, despite

01:02all that cloud. Through the evening, it's going to stay quite mild and murky once again.

01:06It could be quite a close night for some areas. We'll see another batch of rain pushing in

01:11from the south-west. This will bring some heavy bursts to a large swathe of the UK,

01:15particularly northern Ireland, southern Scotland and northern England, as well as the south-east.

01:19We could see some heavy rain here by tomorrow morning. In the south, though, we'll probably

01:24see a drier start to the day. But as I said, it'll be quite a gloomy morning once again,

01:30with a lot of low cloud still around. But it will be another mild start to the day.

01:36Temperatures dipping only as low as 11 or 12 degrees in some areas. That's above the

01:41daytime average maximum temperatures for this time of year. The far north of Scotland as

01:45well, starting to see that milder air arrive by tomorrow morning as well. But they'll also

01:51see that wet weather arrive as well. So some very heavy rain through Thursday morning

01:55across much of Scotland and northern Ireland. We'll also see heavy rain persisting across

01:59parts of Devon and Cornwall, south Wales as well. So there could be some water on the

02:04roads if you are travelling throughout the course of Thursday. So do take care. In the

02:08east, though, it will probably be a much drier day. We should escape much of the rain through

02:13the bulk of the day. And in any breaks in the cloud, temperatures will climb. We've

02:17still got this really mild air. So temperatures climbing to 16, possibly closer to 17 degrees

02:22if we do see any sunny breaks. Temperatures across the north coast of France are expected

02:28to be closer to 19 degrees tomorrow. So we're not too far away from that warm weather across

02:33the far southeast through Thursday. However, that rain is as a result of this frontal system

02:38and that will push into the southeast throughout Thursday night and by Friday morning. However,

02:44once that does clear, we're expecting a ridge of higher pressure to bring a much better

02:48day through Friday. So a bit more in the way of dry and brighter weather to come. But if

02:52you'd like more details on your forecast for further ahead, make sure you check out the

02:5610 day trend with Alex Berkhill a little later on today on YouTube. See you later.
