00:00Hi there, very good morning to yet another cloudy start to the day for many parts of

00:05the UK. Low cloud, hill fog, coastal mist and largely drizzly rain across southern and

00:13southwestern parts in particular. Some heavier bursts of rain moving along the English Channel

00:18coast for a time, extending its influence inland occasionally and that's going to stick

00:24with us for much of the day. But for Wales, the Midlands, North East England, skies do

00:28brighten, it ends up mostly dry by the afternoon and in any sunny spells it's going to feel

00:33pleasantly warm, 23 Celsius there in Hull. Cooler for Western Scotland and Northern Ireland

00:39where there will be some brighter spells but also frequent showers moving in and those

00:43showers become heavier and more prolonged later in the day. Whilst towards the south

00:50and south east we're going to see yet more outbreaks of rain as this weather front becomes

00:54very slow moving and reluctant to clear by Friday morning. So some heavier rain on Thursday

01:01evening there for south east England and then further bursts of rain moving along southern

01:05counties of England and south Wales for a time overnight. Eventually that does become

01:11confined to the far south east and east Anglia but elsewhere clear spells and scattered showers.

01:17One or two showers for western England for example but most of the showers will affect

01:20western Scotland and Northern Ireland and some heavier downpours certainly for the first

01:25part of the night in western Scotland at the odd rumble of thunder as well. But it is going

01:30to be turning cooler, certainly a fresher night to come for many places, that is apart

01:35from where we keep the cloud and some outbreaks of rain in the far south east, 16 Celsius

01:40here by dawn. That cloud will eventually move away into the continent and it does turn brighter

01:47and in fact by late morning it's a typical sunny spells and showers kind of set up for

01:52most of the UK. The showers will be most frequent and heaviest across Scotland and Northern

01:58Ireland. Fewer across England and Wales but you wouldn't rule them out just about anywhere.

02:03However where we do avoid the showers, some places will stay dry, it will be warm once

02:07again, 24 Celsius there in the south east, widely 21 or 22 across England and Wales,

02:13mid to high teens or even up to 20 Celsius for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Now we

02:18keep that sunshine and showers theme going into the first part of the weekend, in fact

02:23Saturday's showers could be heavier and slower moving in some places but Sunday a ridge of

02:29high pressure moves in, sunny skies for many.
