00:00Good afternoon, a bit of a disappointing summer's day to come for many of us as

00:05cloud and rain is spreading in from the south and west, already arriving into

00:09parts of southwestern England, parts of Wales, northern England, Northern Ireland,

00:13Western Scotland already seeing that cloud build. Has been a bit of a brighter

00:17start across eastern areas of England but that will likely change as we head

00:20into this afternoon as this band of cloud and rain pushes north and eastward.

00:25So there's a risk of some quite heavy bursts in there as well, particularly

00:28across northwestern areas, parts of Scotland, northern England and across

00:32parts of western Wales, the southwest is gonna be a lot of cloud around so if you're

00:35planning on heading to the coast it will be much more overcast, there's a greater

00:39chance of some drizzly rain here as well. Bit of a breeze too but despite all this

00:43rain and cloud actually temperatures won't be suffering too badly, still in

00:47the low 20s, high teens across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland but you

00:52really notice a muggy feel out there, it's gonna get muggier as the day

00:55progresses and it'll likely stay quite muggy for some of us into this evening

00:59as well. With further outbreaks of rain most persistent across parts of Scotland,

01:03eastern areas of northern England as well but still some drizzly rain pushing

01:07into Wales, southern areas of England through much of the night and here is

01:10where it's going to stay muggiest overnight. Further north and west though

01:14fresher air will arrive by tomorrow morning so temperatures will fall

01:18through the night across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, some areas of

01:21Northern England as well will be down into the lower teens but in the south

01:25and east the high teens so quite a close and sticky feeling night for some of us

01:30and probably a bit of a dull start across southern areas of England but

01:35that will change as the day goes on and Friday is looking like a much brighter

01:38day, more in the way of sunshine particularly across England and Wales,

01:41parts of Northern Ireland as well as Scotland too but the far north of

01:45Scotland still seeing some fairly frequent showers and quite a brisk

01:49breeze through much of the day. As a result temperatures only 15 or 16 degrees

01:53for some areas here, different though further south Wales and England seeing

01:58temperatures in the low 20s possibly closer to the mid 20s across the south

02:02and east where a bit more sheltered from the breeze and we see the longest lived

02:06sunshine so a different day to come tomorrow but a fairly disappointing day

02:10for the rest of today. Friday evening doesn't look too bad as well, not a

02:14bad end to the working week, plenty of dry and bright weather around but cloud

02:18will spread in from the south and west bringing with it milder air for the

02:22start of Saturday so probably some cloud and rain to start the day on Saturday

02:26that will clear quite quickly into the afternoon and then behind it we see the

02:31air masses really start to build, some tropical air arrives so temperatures

02:34will climb into the 30s for some of us by Sunday and into the early part of

02:39next week. If you'd like any more details on that why not check out our 10 day
