00:00Hello there. Welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.

00:05Now through the next 24 hours, rain spreads across the country with some stronger winds.

00:09The ridge which we've seen through Wednesday tends to fade away towards the east as this rain arrives from the west.

00:16The winds will pick up some strength particularly through the afternoon on Thursday,

00:20even some gales along coastal districts towards the southwest.

00:24And notice this area of low pressure here will remain in place through Friday

00:29and in fact into the weekend as well with rain or showers.

00:33So let's backtrack to Wednesday evening. It's pleasant outside, even some sunshine.

00:38More clouds across this eastern strip here. A little showery rain can't be ruled out across Shetland.

00:44Now overnight, temperatures falling away under some starry skies.

00:48However, across Northern Ireland, Cornwall, maybe Pembrokeshire,

00:52temperatures holding up as the winds pick up some strength, mixing up the air.

00:56And eventually that cloud will thicken across Northern Ireland with some rain hot on its heels

01:00towards the west of the province through the early hours of tomorrow morning.

01:04Elsewhere, it's a dry end to the night, a fairly clear one, and temperatures on the low side.

01:10So a bit of a chilly start to the day. Come Thursday morning at least though, you'll see some sunshine.

01:15Now through the day, this sun will be replaced by clouds as it slowly tracks its way eastwards.

01:22It will be a slow process, but a wet and windy start for Northern Ireland, West Wales, the West Country.

01:27That rain by around lunchtime reaches the western side of Scotland.

01:32North West England seeing some patchy rain and we could see some just moving in across the West Midlands.

01:37We hang on to some sunshine across Orkney as well as Caithness, Aberdeenshire, Cairngorms,

01:43and some dry skies across the home counties, East Anglia, even southern parts of Lincolnshire.

01:49So through Thursday evening if you are travelling, it's fine across the far north of Scotland.

01:54But you may run into some heavy rain across the central belt, Northern Ireland, Northern England,

01:58particularly towards Pennine districts, the north west, down towards Wales as well.

02:03Notice these winds, they will be a feature of the weather across Irish sea coasts.

02:07Yes, some strength here.

02:09Now further east through Thursday evening, some patchy rain across central southern England,

02:14but mostly dry for Kent, Norfolk, Suffolk, and even Essex.

02:18However, as we head through the evening time and overnight, this rain continues its march eastwards.

02:24So wet weather across most parts with a few showers maybe just climbing in behind that centre of the low,

02:31just moving towards Northern Ireland.

02:33Again, the odd heavier pulse can't be ruled out overnight.

02:36And then the winds pick up some strength across the far east of England as well as the eastern side of Scotland.

02:43We're in a showery regime on Friday.

02:46Temperatures are notch up though, 17 to 19 degrees Celsius.

02:49And this pretty much sets the scene for the weekend.

02:52The risk of thunder, some heavy pulses of rain.

02:54The winds will be strong at times.

02:56You can see this low pressure here just sitting across the country and will continue to feed that cloud and showers

03:03and some breezy conditions as we head through Saturday and into Sunday.

03:08So wherever you are, cater for some wet weather, a little sunshine coming through from time to time though.

03:12I'll see you later.
