00:00Good morning. Once a bit of a cloudy start for many of us, but I think later

00:03on today we'll see more of that dry, bright and fairly warm weather once

00:08again like we saw yesterday. However, across northwestern areas, particularly

00:12Northern Ireland, South Western Scotland, this area of northwest England too, there

00:15could be some quite persistent rain through much of the day. That will likely

00:18push into parts of the Western Highlands later on this afternoon. Further east

00:22across Scotland, though it should stay dry for much of the day and actually

00:25across the bulk of the UK, particularly Wales, central southern England, we'll see

00:30a good deal of sunshine later on. That cloud should break up quite nicely. The

00:35sunshine will be fairly hazy though, but it's strong enough to pick the

00:38temperatures up above 20 degrees. We could see 21 degrees across parts of the

00:42southeast. Now further west, we've got the southwesterly breeze. It's quite a brisk

00:46breeze and it's going to be dragging cloud in across coastal areas. So parts

00:50of Wales, coastal areas of Wales, parts of the southwest, also up anywhere across

00:54the Irish Sea coast, we'll likely see a bit more in the way of cloud and those

00:57stronger winds. So it won't be quite as warm in these areas. Now this band of

01:01rain that will have lingered across much of the northwest will slowly sink

01:04southwards for Friday evening. It could bring a heavy spell of rain, also a gusty

01:08spell as well. But once it does move it southwards, it will turn a bit drier for

01:13a time for northern areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland. But you can see

01:16some showers starting to develop, some quite pokey showers as well. They'll

01:20become more of a feature throughout Saturday. To the south of this sort of

01:24weak cloud and rain feature, we'll see quite a lot of cloud forming once again

01:28for many southern areas of England, South Wales as well, perhaps some drizzly rain

01:32on the coast. But it's still quite mild in these areas. There's going to be

01:36another mild night across the south and east. But actually to the north where it

01:40turns clear and we see those showers develop, that's where we see some colder

01:43air arrive through Saturday morning. There's going to be a much more

01:47different feel by Saturday morning here. Now this band across central areas will

01:51sort of linger in these areas for much of Saturday, but it'll likely push into

01:54parts of the Midlands, covering many areas of northern England, parts of Wales

01:58through the day. That brings a risk of cloudier skies and some light outbreaks

02:02of rain. To the south and east of that once again, that's where it will remain

02:06fairly dry, if not a little cloudy, but temperatures still climbing to the high

02:09teens here. But elsewhere across many northern areas of the UK, it's going to

02:14turn much more unsettled and cooler. These showers that you can see will

02:17likely be quite heavy, persistent. They bring a risk of hail. There's also going to

02:20be some quite strong winds wrapped up around a little area of low pressure.

02:25Now that cooler and more unsettled weather will become a little bit more

02:28widespread across the country through Sunday, however it should stay largely

02:33dry across the south. But you can keep up to date with all your details for your
