00:00Hello there, good afternoon. It is a rather mixed picture in terms of our weather this

00:04weekend. Disappointing for some of us. A few glimmers of brightness in there, particularly

00:08further towards the west where we have this area of high pressure keeping things a touch

00:12more subtle. But for those in the east, it is this area of low pressure in the North

00:15Sea that is driving things and providing more unsettled conditions. Copious amounts of clouds

00:20whirling around the area of low pressure with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in there. Dull,

00:25damp and dreary for a good portion of the UK throughout all of Saturday, unfortunately.

00:29But you do have that brightness further towards the west. We could see some showers developing,

00:33particularly in Northern Ireland, parts of Wales, southwestern areas of England as well.

00:37Some of those on the sharp side, maybe even the odd rumble of thunder in there. But in

00:41those sunnier spots, it might just creep to 19, 20 degrees Celsius, but very disappointing

00:47those temperatures underneath the cloud. 13, 14 degrees Celsius is well below where we

00:52normally expect to be for the middle part of July. Obviously feeling cool because of

00:57that cloud and the rain, but also a quite brisk wind flow that is circling around that

01:01area of low pressure coming in directly from the North Sea. It is going to make it feel

01:06even colder if you are exposed to that brisk wind that is coming in. Winds just slightly

01:11lighter further towards the west and also central areas will help with the feel of things

01:15a touch more. The rain will actually turn heavier as we head into this evening and overnight,

01:20particularly for the likes of the Scottish borders down into Northumberland, parts of

01:24North East Yorkshire as well. Do take care here if you are travelling in that. Elsewhere,

01:29it's a drier night, particularly for southern areas of England and Wales. We'll start to

01:32see the cloud breaking up a touch more. Some clear skies here, the odd mist and fog patch

01:36possible, but temperatures dropping down into single figures for some of our rural sites

01:40underneath those clearer skies. But most of our towns and cities, particularly underneath

01:43the cloud, will be more in double digit marks. So quite a mild start to Sunday morning. The

01:49rest of the brightness, though, will be across southern areas of Wales and England. Not too

01:52bad of a start to the day here, really. And if you are heading out first thing, it should

01:57be quite a nice start. The cloud bubbling up a little later on. A few brighter spells

02:01still possible for Northern Ireland and actually central Scotland into parts of Argyll and

02:04Bute and the Southern Highlands as well, faring reasonably well with some sunshine. But the

02:08cloud and rain is going to be persistent for southern Scotland into northern England throughout

02:12Sunday as well. Unfortunately, it will turn lighter, so a bit patchier as we head into

02:16the afternoon. But temperatures still very disappointing, just slightly up compared to

02:21today, but only around 15, 16 degrees Celsius in the sunniest spots. Parts of central Scotland

02:26across the far south as well, 20 to 23 degrees Celsius will make you feel that bit warmer

02:31and a bit more pleasant here. Rain continuing to ease off as we head into the evening and

02:36overnight period. So hopefully it might begin to stop just as we kick off for the Euro's

02:42grand final and any outdoor viewing parties there, hopefully turning dry for a good portion

02:47of the UK and conditions looking reasonably fine in Berlin as well, with a mixture of

02:52sunny spells and temperatures even around 20 degrees Celsius there. But for here in

02:57the UK, we'll keep you up to date as we head into the new working week. So make sure you

03:00are subscribed to the YouTube channel and we'll see you again here very soon. Bye bye.
