00:00Hello, welcome to your latest update from the Met Office. If you're watching on
00:03YouTube don't forget to hit subscribe. The heavy rain that's affected much of
00:08England and Wales over the past couple of days is now easing. It's going to be a
00:11much drier day on Friday but lurking behind me there are more weather systems
00:16they'll be coming in later on Sunday. In between them you can see we've got a bit
00:22of a gap, a bit of a respite and many of us will be much drier for the next 48
00:26hours. The rain bands that have brought the flooding are now pulling away down
00:31towards the southeast clearing away on Friday morning and the sunnier skies are
00:36following but so are the northerly winds bringing a significant chill. Quite a
00:40brisk wind blowing along these North Sea coast and across northern Scotland.
00:43Plenty of showers packing in here but a snow likely over the tops of the
00:47mountains as well. A scattering of showers coming into Northern Ireland
00:50some feeding into West Wales, southwest England and the odd one over central
00:55areas but they're moving through because of the breeze and many places will stay
00:58dry this afternoon with some decent spars of sunshine. It is going to be a
01:02struggle on the thermometer getting much above 13 or 14 degrees. Some parts of
01:06northern Scotland staying in single digits. We might just squeak up to 15 or
01:1116 in the south but generally speaking we are well below the average for the
01:15time of year by three to six degrees Celsius. So yes it is quite chilly. It
01:20feels even colder with those winds blowing along North Sea coast and when
01:24the showers come along. Now both the winds and the showers should tend to
01:28ease overnight. We'll keep some going across Pembrokeshire down towards Devon
01:32and Cornwall and a bit more in the way of cloud will push back into northwest
01:35Scotland with some outbreaks of rain coming towards the Highlands and the
01:38Western Isles by dawn. That'll actually help to keep the temperatures up here
01:42but elsewhere we've got the cold air in place, we've got lighter winds, clear
01:45skies. It is going to be a chilly start to the weekend down to three or four
01:49Celsius. That's in towns and cities. Many rural spots will be pretty close to
01:54freezing. So yes a cold start to Saturday but we should see quite a bit
01:57of sunshine over the Midlands, Northern England, East Anglia and the southeast.
02:01Still maybe one or two showers just affecting North Norfolk for a time. Quite
02:05a lot of cloud across Scotland tomorrow. There will be some outbreaks of rain
02:08drifting through the central belt and then we're left with rain at times over
02:12northern Scotland. Some showers on the west coast. A few scattered showers for
02:16Northern Ireland. Clouding over somewhat for Northern England and Wales but a
02:19good chunk of England and Wales will have a dry day and over the East Midlands
02:23East Anglia and the southeast generally a sunny Saturday. Temperatures will still
02:29be below average struggling to get to 14 or 15 Celsius but those winds will be
02:33lighter. So in the sunshine it'll probably feel quite pleasant but there
02:37will be more clouds across Scotland tomorrow compared to today and still
02:42some outbreaks of rain affecting particularly northern parts as we head
02:46into Saturday evening. One or two showers across northwest England, west
02:50coast of Scotland but for many it'll be a dry and a fine Saturday evening. But
02:54again if I just head out of the way look at what's brewing down towards the
02:58southwest. We have that next weather system coming in. An area of low
03:02pressure that's going to bring some wet and windy weather by the time we get to
03:06Sunday. Pushing away our area of high pressure. That high will still be just
03:10about in place for Sunday morning bringing many places a fine start. A few
03:14showers over northern Scotland but here comes the wet weather into southwest
03:18England, south Wales before lunchtime. It's going to be a bit fragmented in
03:22places early on but then turn more persistent come the afternoon eventually
03:27spreading up towards Northern Ireland. We have a wind warning across parts of
03:31the coast of southwest England, south and west Wales. Those gusts could get
03:36pretty lively as we head through the second half of Sunday
03:40especially giving potentially some disruption. Of course any extra rain
03:44falling on the flooded areas won't be welcomed either but a good part of
03:48eastern England, northern England much of Scotland will be dry for most of
03:52daylight on Sunday but still on the chilly side and feeling colder as the
03:57wind and the rain arrives and it will spread to many areas as we go through
04:01Sunday night. So that's something we need to keep a close eye on. Please do keep up
04:05to date with all of the Met Office warnings and the flood warnings which
04:08you can see on the Environment Agency website. As I said at the start if you're
