00:00Hello there, welcome to your Tuesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:05Through today we've seen some sunshine and also a few showers.
00:09Overnight though the problem in the south will be fog, winds alight here.
00:13At the same time winds pick up across Scotland as well as Northern Ireland,
00:16with weather fronts just skirting the northwest, cloud thickening ahead of it as we head through Wednesday.
00:22Through Wednesday into Thursday winds will slowly strengthen further south as well,
00:26so we won't have the fog problems we've seen over the next 24 hours,
00:30but certainly it will be a windy day, gusty winds as cloud approaches with some rain towards the west.
00:36For the time being any showers tending to fade away across more southern areas,
00:40still some across Caithness, Orkney and Shetland,
00:43as thickening cloud brings some stronger winds and outbreaks of rain towards the western isles,
00:48the far north there, and a little bit of rain just encroaching across Northern Ireland.
00:53Elsewhere you can see that cloud spilling towards more eastern and southern parts of Scotland, that's High Cloud.
00:58Further south the fog becomes fairly dense as we head into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
01:04Now particularly if you are driving across the Midlands, the south east, East Anglia,
01:09you may run into problems with poor visibility, but further west as well, mid Wales down towards the west country,
01:14certainly some fog patches to start the day, and this fog will be slow to clear.
01:18So through tomorrow morning are a lot of clouds across the north,
01:22and some patchy rain across the far west as well as the north west.
01:26Winds again will be a feature here, turning gusty over the hills as well as the mountains.
01:30Now further south that fog should clear by around 10, 11 o'clock in the morning.
01:35We'll see some brighter skies, a few residual showers can't be ruled out,
01:39but they're fairly drizzly in many areas here, having some dry weather.
01:43Cloud will break at times across southern Scotland, northern England as well as we head through the day,
01:47but always windy across more northern and western areas,
01:50as temperatures arrive around 14 or 15 in the north, 16 or 17 further south.
01:55And the wind will be a feature as we head into Thursday,
01:58certainly that will keep a lot of the fog away across more southern areas,
02:02and in fact overnight that cloud and rain thickens even further from the west.
02:07This is a more persistent band of rain, it's fairly slow moving,
02:10but certainly it will graze western Scotland as well as Northern Ireland into the early hours of Thursday.
02:16Elsewhere on Thursday, it's bright with a mix of cloud and sunshine,
02:20winds coming in from a mild direction but still quite gusty over the higher ground.
02:24Now Friday looks like this, it's showery and low pressure, firmly in charge,
02:29with the weather front slow moving across the country,
02:32and that leads into a fairly unsettled weekend,
02:35so rain or showers and the winds will be strong at times.
02:38So here's your outlook through Friday afternoon.
02:40A lot of showers around and temperatures arriving around 12 to 14, 15 degrees Celsius,
02:45so slightly lower than tomorrow.
02:47I'll see you later, bye bye.
