00:00Hey, how's it going? Is it a bit wet with you at the moment? There will be some dry,

00:05sunny weather around for some of us today but there is also quite a bit of rain that

00:09has pushed across parts of Northern Ireland, much of Scotland and is now feeding into parts

00:14of Northern England and Wales. Towards the south of the UK it is a drier start to the

00:19day and in the south east it's going to stay mostly fine through much of today as well

00:24but we are going to see that cloud, that rain feeding a little bit further south eastwards

00:29into more central parts of England and across much of Wales as we go through the afternoon.

00:34To the north west of the frontal system things will brighten up a little bit, some sunny

00:37spells developing but also a scattering of showers but here there will be some blustery

00:42winds so any showers should rattle through relatively quickly. The blustery winds though

00:46will add to the cooler feel to things with some fresher air coming in behind the front

00:52in the north, temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens but towards the south east

00:56we still have some warm air around so across southern south eastern parts we're looking

01:00at highs in the low to mid twenties, highs of around 25 possibly 26 Celsius. Clinging

01:06on to some fine weather across the far south south east for a time this evening but eventually

01:11the front will make its way in as we go overnight bringing some cloud and some rain. Do watch

01:15out for some heavy bursts of rain for a time across the far south south east as we go through

01:19the early hours of Friday morning. Elsewhere we are going to see a largely dry and clear

01:24weather just a few showers dotted around and with those clear skies and that slightly

01:29fresher air temperatures will drop a little bit lower perhaps than they have done through

01:32some recent nights. In rural spots we could see some places dropping into mid single figures

01:38perhaps many towns and cities still just about holding up in double digits and in the south

01:42east quite a bit warmer than this. A bit of a wet start then across the far south east

01:47first thing on Friday morning but any rain across Kent should quite quickly clear away

01:51and then for many it's looking like a largely fine day. Again some showers particularly

01:56towards the northwest of Scotland and still some blustery winds so those showers rattling

02:01through relatively quickly but for many places it is going to be dry fine with plenty of

02:07sunshine around. Yes we do have that slightly fresher air across us but nonetheless feeling

02:12warm enough in that sunshine again temperatures just about getting towards the low to mid

02:16teens mid 20s sorry towards the south and further north again mid to high teens celsius.

02:23More showers to come across northern parts of Scotland in particular as we go through

02:27Friday evening but elsewhere it's a largely fine end to the day lots of late sunshine

02:31especially across much of England and Wales. The generally fine pattern continues as we

02:36go into this weekend for many it is going to stay dry and there'll be some decent sunshine

02:41around still some showers possible most likely towards the west and northwest as we go into

02:46Sunday and in the north northwest it is also going to be a bit breezy at times but if you

02:52want a more in-depth look at what we can expect this weekend then do head to our YouTube channel

02:57later on this afternoon where Annie will have our longer weekend forecast available. I'll

03:01see you again soon bye bye.
