00:00Hi there, and welcome to the latest forecast from the Met Office. A lot of showers to talk

00:06about in this forecast, even some longer spells of rain, but I will talk about some sunny

00:11spells in addition to all of that. Low pressure at the moment really dominating the UK's weather.

00:17It's going to remain with us for the next few days. Around that low, we've got some

00:21outbreaks of prolonged rain for the north of Scotland, a keen breeze here, and a south-westerly

00:26bringing further outbreaks of, at times, prolonged rain into Northern Ireland, Wales

00:30and the south-west through the night. Elsewhere, the daytime showers will tend to fade, leading

00:34to plenty of clear spells, for example, through the Midlands, south-east England, parts of

00:39the far north of England, central Scotland, where we do get the clear spells, temperatures

00:44dipping to 7 or 8 Celsius, but where we've got the cloud, the breeze, the outbreaks of

00:49rain, 10 or 11 Celsius first thing. And very mixed conditions across the UK. Saturday morning

00:56we've got some heavy rain for Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and the south-west. Persistent

01:00rain for the Northern Isles. Elsewhere, some brighter conditions during the morning, but

01:04quickly the clouds will bubble up and we'll see widely showers breaking out. Where we've

01:09got longer spells of rain, some of that will break up into showers. So really it's a case

01:13of sunny spells and showers. Don't take the graphics too literally. Just about anywhere

01:17could get wet, but just about anywhere could also see some sunshine and the best chance

01:22of seeing some sunny spells breaking through the cloud, southern and eastern parts of England,

01:26for example, western Scotland, Northern Ireland. And where the sun does come through, not feeling

01:33too unpleasant. We've lost the Arctic winds, so certainly in the east it's going to be

01:37less cold. 16 or 17 Celsius, however, below average for the time of year. And of course

01:42where we've got the gusty wind in the south-west and near any showers, it is going to feel

01:46cool. The showers in some places could be lively enough for some thunderstorms and some

01:50hail, particularly through central parts of the UK. And these showers will continue

01:55into Saturday evening for a time, but eventually the daytime warmth that kicks off the showers

02:01will tend to fade away. So greater chance of some clear spells overnight. Although for

02:07parts of Scotland there will be areas of more persistent rain tending to sink southwards,

02:12perhaps affecting Northern Ireland by the start of Sunday. With the cloudier skies further

02:17north, 10 or 11 Celsius, and towards the south a bit more of a breeze as well, 10 to 12 Celsius,

02:22but in sheltered rural spots, 8 or 9 Celsius possible first thing. Here's the low. It remains

02:28with us on Sunday. Occluded fronts tending to wrap themselves around it to bring some

02:33more persistent cloud and rain across northern areas on Sunday, but by Monday actually things

02:39are starting to turn a bit drier, particularly across southern parts. Now, Sunday I wouldn't

02:45take the position of this rain too literally. There's a lot of uncertainty, but it originates

02:49on Friday afternoon over parts of Germany and Denmark, the low countries. But either

02:55way it's going to be tending to sink south, turn to showers by Sunday afternoon and then

03:00it's another case of sunny spells and showers. Perhaps a better chance of more prolonged

03:06sunny spells in southern and eventually northern parts of the UK, but either way it is a case

03:13of sunny spells and showers and temperatures still a little below par for the time of year,

03:18but recovering ever so slowly towards average following a cold start to June. Start of next

03:25week sees a better chance of fewer showers and longer spells of sunshine and we'll keep
