00:00A very warm day for some, a very wet day for others.
00:04And for all, a pretty humid feel.
00:06All thanks to southerly winds.
00:08The big picture shows the UK smothered in clouds.
00:12We've got a large area of high pressure sitting to the east,
00:15but ambling away.
00:16Low pressure systems sitting to the west,
00:18and that's generating southerly winds.
00:20They're bringing the warmth and the humidity.
00:23But with these weather fronts injecting the moisture,
00:26they're also bringing some pretty heavy downpours.
00:28And we've seen some very wet conditions already.
00:31Met Office yellow warnings in place.
00:33The heavy rain extending north into parts of northern England
00:36and parts of eastern Scotland.
00:38Also looking pretty soggy this afternoon.
00:40Not everywhere seeing the torrential rain,
00:43but pockets of very heavy rain that
00:46could cause some issues, some local flooding,
00:49and certainly some disruption to the transport network.
00:51Much of western Scotland staying dry.
00:53Actually, a largely dry but cloudy
00:55afternoon in Northern Ireland.
00:56It's eastern England where we're
00:58seeing the driest and brightest weather.
01:01Some sunshine here.
01:02Likely to see temperatures top out.
01:04It's 20, 21, maybe even 22 degrees Celsius.
01:07Not unprecedented for October, but still
01:10pretty warm for the middle of the month.
01:12And even where it's raining, temperatures 17, 18 degrees.
01:15That humid feel likely to continue.
01:18And the wet weather will continue
01:20through the evening and overnight.
01:21There's warnings in place into the evening
01:23as well as the rain pushes again into parts of northern England.
01:26Then into eastern Scotland.
01:28Eventually, we'll see some rain this evening
01:30across eastern England, but tending
01:32to clear away from the west.
01:34So by dawn, northern Ireland, Wales, southwest England
01:37should start to see some clearer skies.
01:39Temperatures still staying pretty high though overnight.
01:42Still warm air in place.
01:43So pretty much everywhere in double digits.
01:45And many places staying in the teens through the night.
01:48So not a cold start to Thursday.
01:50A fairly glum one for east Anglia,
01:52the southeast of England, northeast England,
01:54and much of northeast Scotland.
01:55With outbreaks of rain lingering
01:57in that far northeastern corner until around lunchtime.
02:00And most of the day, in fact, in Shetland.
02:02But elsewhere, it brightens up quite nicely, actually.
02:05And for many, it's a good looking day.
02:07There will be a sprinkling of showers
02:09dotted across northern Ireland, southwest Scotland.
02:11Maybe one or two for Wales and western England
02:13come the afternoon.
02:14But they will be well scattered.
02:16Much of the day dry.
02:18Some good spars of sunshine.
02:19Perhaps a bit more high cloud spilling back
02:21in towards east Anglia and the southeast later on.
02:23But overall, a fine autumnal feel.
02:26And although it won't be as warm and humid as today,
02:30temperatures will still be above average,
02:31getting up to the mid or even high teens
02:34across the southeast.
02:36A bit breezy come the afternoon across Wales and southwest
02:39England, as we see a few more showers drifting in here
02:41through the course of the evening.
02:43And a few more getting going over southwest Scotland
02:46and northwest England, too.
02:47But again, many places will stay fine.
02:49Just need to watch this area of rain.
02:50Looks like sticking away from the far southeast.
02:53So many places having a dry end to Thursday.
02:55Notice behind me, though, there is a line of rain.
02:57That's a weather front approaching
02:59from this large area of low pressure,
03:01I should say, heading up towards Iceland.
03:03The isobars squidging together as well.
03:05So some potentially strong winds across the far northwest
03:08on Friday, coupled with some high tides,
03:11that could cause a few issues.
03:12And then look at this, an intensifying
03:14area of low pressure.
03:15This one really does need watching.
03:17This is for Sunday coming in.
03:18Again, a lot of isobars on the chart, a spell of wet,
03:22and potentially very windy weather
03:24during the second half of the weekend.
03:26One we'll be keeping a very close eye on.
03:29Aidan will have more on that in the 10-day trend forecast.
03:32That'll be available on our YouTube channels
03:34by Wednesday afternoon.
