00:00Hello, good evening. Thursday is going to be a much drier and brighter day for most

00:04areas of the UK. However, for the next few hours, there's still some very heavy rain

00:09to come across the north-west. Rain warnings still in force for parts of western Scotland.

00:14The main band of rain will sink further southwards through the day into parts of north-western

00:18England. Cumbria could see some very heavy rain through this evening. And then it pushes

00:21into Wales, the Midlands, where it could turn heavy for a time, but it's generally going

00:25to weaken as a feature. So, although you will likely see some drizzly rain, it's unlikely

00:29to bring you any impacts. However, by Thursday morning, the rain band will sit across the

00:34south coast, where it tends to create these sort of waving features, which will keep it

00:38across the south through much of Thursday. Further north, though, it'll turn much clearer

00:43and drier. There's fairly brisk south-westerly winds to come through tonight. That'll hold

00:48the temperatures up well above 10 degrees for most areas. We could be at 13 degrees

00:52across some parts of the south by tomorrow morning. So, a mild start, quite a dry and

00:57bright start as well, particularly across the north and east. The best of sunshine will

01:02be through the middle part of the morning. I think as the afternoon progresses, the sunshine

01:06will turn that much hazier as this band of rain starts to return from the south and west.

01:11And actually, across the south-west of England, south-west of Wales as well, it'll likely

01:15stay quite dull, possibly a bit drizzly through much of the day. So, it's going to be a bit

01:20cooler here compared to elsewhere, but I think wherever you are, you will definitely notice

01:24the humidity as it will start to be a little bit muggy. But highs of 20 degrees are possible

01:29across parts of the south-east, but actually even up towards the north coast of Scotland,

01:34we could see highs of about 17 or 18 degrees. So, definitely a different feeling day compared

01:39to today for most areas. However, the rain will return to the north-west through Thursday

01:44evening and it'll continue to stay fairly damp here into Friday as well. Further south,

01:49though, we'll continue to see dry weather dominating, but there's going to be quite

01:53a lot of cloud around most likely. However, that will keep the temperatures up once again,

01:58so it's going to be another very mild night for most areas of the UK on Thursday night.

02:02So, mild start to the day on Friday. And as I said, quite a lot of cloud around to start

02:06the day away from the far north of Scotland. That cloud should break up and allow some

02:11brightness by Friday afternoon, but it's across Northern Ireland and western areas of Scotland

02:15where it will stay quite overcast with drizzly rain. The rain won't be as heavy as it has

02:20been earlier on in the week and I think eastern areas of Scotland should stay largely dry.

02:25Again, with plenty of warm air around, temperatures will climb into the high teens. It won't be

02:29quite as warm as Thursday just because there won't be as much sunshine, but it's still

02:33going to feel fairly warm for the time of year. Looking ahead to the weekend, well,

02:38the rain will continue to affect northern areas, but it does look like it will turn

02:42a little bit cooler. But you can find more details on your weekend forecast with our
