00:00Good evening, some heavy rain to come for some areas through the rest of the evening

00:04but it is turning a little bit drier as we head towards the end of the week and at least

00:08into the start of the weekend. High pressure is centred out to the south and west of the

00:13UK and that ridge of high pressure is going to build in from the north and west through

00:18the rest of the week. But we've still got low pressure lingering away to the east that

00:22will continue to bring some weather fronts across some southern areas throughout the

00:26rest of the evening as well. So heavy rains likely across northern areas of England, there's

00:30still a risk of some thunderstorms through the first part of the evening but it's across

00:33north-eastern Scotland where we've seen the most persistent rain where there's a weather

00:37warning in force until the early hours of Thursday. Further south though it should stay

00:41dry through the rest of the evening but for most of us it's going to be a cloudy night

00:45so it will be another fairly mild start to the day. Having said that we've got this quite

00:50brisk northerly wind pushing into northern areas of Scotland, particularly the east of

00:54Scotland where it feels quite autumnal at the moment and that feels going to continue

00:58through Thursday as well. Now there's low pressures bringing rain to parts of north

01:03Wales into the Midlands through Thursday. We could start to see a few showers breaking

01:07out across central areas of England as well as Wales later on on Thursday afternoon as

01:12well. But actually for Northern Ireland, Scotland, the south coast it will actually be a dry

01:17day, actually brighter across the north-west compared to today as well. And as a result

01:23it will feel a little bit warmer. Temperatures across the north-west climbing towards the

01:27higher teens for some areas in the central belt and across the south will be up to around

01:3222 or 23 degrees once again. So not too bad in the sunshine if you are sheltered from

01:38that northerly wind. Through Thursday evening this rain will likely continue for parts of

01:43Wales and central areas of England and then we're starting to see a risk of some showers

01:46approaching from the south as well. But from the north it will start to turn a bit drier

01:52as we've got higher pressure building in. So turning more unsettled across southern

01:56areas and more settled across the north as we head into Friday. But another fairly mild

02:02night across southern areas. Into the north though with clearer skies it could be a bit

02:06of a cooler start on Friday. More in the way of sunshine to come on Friday for Northern

02:12Ireland, much of Scotland, northern England as well. Sunny spells but actually where we

02:16are exposed to this northeasterly wind across the east coast of Scotland as well as northern

02:22England it will feel fairly fresh. There's an increasing risk of showers across the south

02:27coast. Some of these could turn quite torrential as well, particularly into Friday evening.

02:33So less in the way of sunshine for many southern areas so temperatures not climbing quite as

02:37high but I think across the north 19, possibly 20 for some areas. So not too bad at all,

02:44particularly considering the temperatures we've seen lately. Looking ahead to the weekend

02:49it's looking a little bit drier to start the weekend but it does turn a bit more unsettled

02:54through Sunday. You can find more details on that on our latest 10 day trend on YouTube.

02:58Bye bye.
