00:00Hello, good morning. It's a bit of a wet start for some of us, but it will get that much

00:04drier through today, so there will be a bit of respite from the wet weather we've had

00:07recently. But through the next few hours, some heavy bursts of rain to come across the

00:12south coast. This could bring some travel disruption. Elsewhere, though, although it

00:16is a fairly cloudy start, there will be much more in the way of dry weather, particularly

00:20across the northeast, where it's been a fairly miserable few days. We've still got cold air

00:25in situ here, but the winds are much lighter, so it's going to start to feel a little bit

00:28warmer than it has done lately here. In the south, across many areas of Wales and England,

00:34we'll see a mix of sunshine and showers. The showers will be well scattered, so there'll

00:39be a decent amount of sunshine in between those showers, and it will feel fairly mild

00:43for the time of year in those sunny spells. Through this evening, though, across the southwest,

00:48that's when the next batch of rain will arrive, so it's going to be another wet end of the

00:51day in these areas. This rain is going to push north and eastwards through the day.

00:55We could see some quite gusty and blustery spells of rain up through the Irish Sea coasts

01:01throughout Thursday night, and as that rain moves in and bumps into that cold air across

01:05Scotland, we're likely to see some snow over the Grampians and the Highlands that could

01:09affect some roads here. But in general, it's going to turn considerably milder through

01:15Friday. So once that rain does clear through, you'll be into the mild air. So some areas

01:19across the south will be starting the day across at 11 or 12 degrees, which is closer

01:24to the daytime average for this time of year. But it's going to be a blustery day and across

01:28many northern areas, it will remain particularly across the northwest. It will remain quite

01:32wet through the day, some quite heavy bursts of rain across England and Wales, northeastern

01:37areas of England and southeastern Scotland. We could see quite a lot in the way of dry

01:41weather, though the best of the sunshine will be across the southeast on a Friday afternoon.

01:45And in that sunshine, it's going to be feeling very warm. Indeed, highs of 17, 18, possibly

01:50even 19 degrees. So despite these strong gusty winds, it's going to be feeling much

01:55milder than it has done lately. That mild air will push further north into parts of

02:00Scotland. So it will be a warm weekend, but it's going to turn unseasonably windy. So
