00:00Good morning. Welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It should be another

00:03warm and sunny day for many of us. There is a risk of some further torrential downpours

00:08just for a few areas, particularly across eastern areas of England through this morning

00:12but also into the afternoon. Elsewhere across England, Wales, many northern areas of England

00:17as well as eastern Scotland should stay dry and bright through much of the day. It will

00:21feel rather warm in the sunshine. But there is a bit of a change on the way. As you can

00:25see, wet weather spreading into Northern Ireland, much of Scotland by the end of the

00:29afternoon and the breeze will really pick up. There's a risk of some quite heavy bursts

00:33in that band of rain as well. Where it does stay dry, temperatures still climbing into

00:37the mid to high 20s for some of us, still feeling quite humid as well as I think into

00:42this afternoon. Even where we do see the rain, I think it will still feel quite humid until

00:46before this area of band of rain clears through. Now, that band will push south-eastwards through

00:52this evening, spreading into northern areas of England, Wales, south-west of England as

00:56well through this evening. Dry across central and eastern areas of England, at least to

01:00start this evening and turning dry by the end of the night across parts of Northern

01:04Ireland and much of Scotland as well. And here, temperatures will fall away a little

01:09lower than they have done lately, particularly across northern England. I think you'll start

01:12to notice a difference to the temperatures. Quite a lot of cloud around in the central

01:16areas of England, the south, quite a lot of low cloud and drizzly rain through the morning.

01:22And that rain could turn quite heavy as it pushes into southern England, the south-east

01:26through Saturday, so a bit of a cloudy and damp day, a very different feel through Saturday

01:30compared to this week so far. Further north though, northern England seeing plenty of

01:35sunshine, much of Wales as well, a fairly bright afternoon to come. A little sunshine,

01:39highs of around 21, 22 degrees, lower than it has been but still quite pleasant. Across

01:45the far north and west, there's a risk of some heavier showers and some blustery winds

01:49as well. Temperatures here a little below average, particularly where the winds are

01:52a bit stronger. Now into Sunday, we'll see that weather front push away to the south

01:57and east. So behind it, a ridge of high pressure brings some fine weather for many areas, at

02:00least to start the day on Sunday. But further wet weather will likely spread in from the

02:04west to end the day. You can catch up with more details about the full weekend forecast
