00:00Hello there, welcome to your Thursday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:04It's fine across the North West today, clouds across central and eastern areas and towards the south, watch out for some heavy rain.
00:10So through this morning, it's chilly if you're stepping out first thing across western Scotland, at least there you'll see some sunshine.
00:15Sunshine also, particularly for the western side of the Central Belt.
00:18Northern Ireland, a very similar situation, cool but bright.
00:21We run into the clouds across Aberdeenshire, border regions, down towards Northern Council of England as well as North Wales.
00:27There could be some rain mixed in there where the cloud is thick enough.
00:30Drier but cloudier conditions across the Midlands.
00:32The cloud could break at times, but notice this rain close by and notice some bright echoes representing some heavy downpours.
00:40Hence the reason why there's a rain warning across southern counties of England and Wales throughout today and into tomorrow.
00:46One or two spots over 48 hours could see up to 100 millimetres of rain.
00:50So there will be problems on the roads, spray, poor visibility, localised flooding as well.
00:55So through the morning, this cloud here will be quite stubborn.
00:58It's going to feel cool along the east coast with that northeast breeze and again some dampness in the air.
01:03Brighter skies coming through across much of Scotland away from the east side, Northern Ireland as well.
01:08But this rain pivots and extends across southeast Wales towards southern counties and more rain moves in also, showery rain across the west country.
01:16And again, we could see some heavy downpours through the afternoon and into evening rush hour this evening.
01:22This wind continues to blow from the northeast and that means more cloud from time to time and temperatures pegged back here 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.
01:31Along the western side of Scotland though, 21 Celsius will be your high, 19 or 20 across the western side of the central belt, 18 degrees for Belfast, Newry.
01:41But with this northern component to the wind, temperatures have been pegged back a little bit today.
01:45They're going to be higher tomorrow and even a disappointing day further south where you've seen some brightness,
01:51but also that keen wind. Here's your warning zone across central and southern parts of England and Wales,
01:56extending through this evening and overnight and feeling cool under the clouds and rain across these parts.
02:03So as we head through this evening and overnight, again, there'll be problems if you are driving in this rain.
02:09It's going to be heavy at times. This cloud thickens along this eastern side down towards much of the Midlands as well as Wales, eastern parts of Scotland.
02:17And again, you can see some patchy rain and drizzle.
02:19Clearer skies across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. A chilly morning come Friday morning, but the sun will get to work quite nicely.
02:27And this rain becomes mostly confined to southern counties of England, but it could nudge northwards from time to time through Friday.
02:33And again, the rain could be heavy. But through the day, notice these temperatures.
02:37So where you catch the sunshine in shelter, particularly across central and western areas of Scotland,
02:42we could see 25, 26 degrees Celsius, making it the warmest day since May, where Agnagart sought 25.6 Celsius.
02:51So currently 22 to 25. Let's see how it works out on Friday.
02:55But it's certainly feeling warm and pleasant and much warmer for Northern Ireland, 22 degrees Celsius here.
03:00Now, the winds lost its northerly component on this eastern side. Still an easterly wind, though, delivering that cloud on Friday.
03:07But the cloud will break at times, allowing for some sunshine, certainly for places such as Lancashire, Cumbria.
03:12You'll see some brighter weather and we'll see some brighter skies coming through across the Midlands as well.
03:17But this rain never too far away. So temperatures are on the up on Friday.
03:21Even so, watch out for that heavy rain across more southern counties.
03:25So that's the picture on Friday. Let's have a look at Saturday.
03:29Saturday, the cloud will wax and wane along the eastern side of Scotland, northeast England.
03:34Inland, though, some brighter weather. Northern Ireland seeing a 21.
03:37And then watch out for showers further south across England and Wales.
03:41They could be heavy across central and southern parts and your outlook then through Sunday.

03:51This week, it's with Aidan McGiven and I'll see you again soon. Have a lovely day.
