00:00Hello there, welcome to your Tuesday evening weather update from the Met Office.

00:05Overnight we watch as more cloud arrives across Northern Ireland as well as Scotland with some

00:09outbreaks of rain. Most of the rain will be particularly across the western side of Scotland.

00:14Elsewhere some clearer skies into Wednesday, a little sunshine but the chance of some showers,

00:20frequent showers though, across the north as the winds pick up some strength. You can see low

00:24pressure sits towards the northwest of the UK. High pressure just influencing our weather

00:29further south as well. So let's take a look at the detail as we head through Tuesday evening.

00:35Still a lot of showers in the mix across Scotland clipping Northern Ireland and they could be heavy

00:39as they move towards the far north as we head through the night. Clearer skies across England

00:44and Wales although along western coasts still the chance of one or two fleeting showers as the cloud

00:50thickens across western Scotland, Northern Ireland as well and you can see this rain just moving in

00:56into Wednesday morning. It's not going to be as muggy as last night even so temperatures holding

01:01up 12 to 14 Celsius as we enter the day on Wednesday. And first thing it will be bright

01:07across eastern Scotland, England and Wales. A little rain for Northern Ireland but more

01:12persistent rain across northern and western Scotland and a stronger wind here. It extends

01:17across towards the north as we head through Wednesday morning and showers will follow. Few

01:23showers running in across Wales, northwest England. The cloud will come and go through the day. It could

01:28increase through the afternoon but even so some fine weather across central and eastern areas

01:34and again the chance of those showers which will be heavy in the north with the risk of thunder.

01:39So certainly the weather remains fairly mobile and changeable but certainly some sunshine as we

01:44head through the afternoon as temperatures rise slowly to around 20 to 23 Celsius down towards

01:51more central and eastern areas but fresh towards the northwest 15 to 17, 19 for Northern Ireland.

01:59So through Wednesday evening and overnight those showers will continue across more northern and

02:04western areas. You can see here still a squeeze on the isobars but then on Thursday this feature

02:10comes in and this will introduce more cloud and outbreaks rain to most parts of the country

02:15and in fact it remains breezy if not windy into Friday with further showers but some brighter

02:20skies emerging as well so an improving picture through the day for the latter part of the working

02:26week. So through Wednesday evening still a mix of clouds and clear skies across much of the country.

02:32Those showers continue across more northern and western areas but we've lost the potency of them

02:37and then through the night into Thursday the cloud slowly thickens from the west you can see

02:42this rain waiting in the wings into Thursday morning. However Thursday will dawn bright

02:48across many areas still a few showers towards more northern and western areas and then thickening

02:52cloud brings outbreaks of rain through the day. We hang on to some drier weather towards the southeast

02:5720 degrees Celsius here 19 or 20 elsewhere. A brighter day around although it will be breezy

03:03if not windy on Friday and still some showers particularly across more northern and western

03:08areas. I'll see you later.
