00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:04Through the next 24 hours we have a strong southerly wind delivering
00:08mild conditions across most of the UK.
00:12So, windy already through Wednesday evening across the north-west
00:16with weather fronts close by. But notice these isobars here
00:20a little closer together through Thursday, bringing in that warmth from the south.
00:24So if you catch some sunshine, temperatures in the south could reach 18 degrees Celsius
00:2815 degrees towards the north, and these fronts gradually make inroads
00:32as we head through to Friday. For the time being, you see where the strongest
00:36winds are, Irish sea coast, North Channel, western coast as well.
00:40Now further south, some starry skies, and because the wind is picking up a little bit
00:44we won't have the visibility problems we've seen through the last few nights, certainly
00:48with low cloud and fog. At the same time though, this cloud could be thick enough
00:52across Scotland for a little bit of patchy rain, as this main
00:56band just nudges close by towards the western
01:00isles as we head into Thursday morning. Now under clear skies towards the south
01:04temperatures 8 or 9 degrees Celsius, but notice across Scotland and Northern Ireland
01:08holding around 12 or 13, so it's a very mild start
01:12to the day come Thursday morning, but it's also a windy one and also
01:16rather cloudy. We'll see some sunshine across England and Wales as the cloud breaks
01:20and just drifts across the sky. And in shelter across the north and east of
01:24Scotland, Northern Ireland as well, seeing some brighter skies through the morning into the afternoon.
01:28So it's a lovely day to be out and about, but watch out for that wind,
01:32always strong, particularly through the morning, we may lose the sting in the wind through the afternoon
01:36as this cloud and rain just encroaches across the western
01:40isles and we could see some just moving in across counties Tyrone
01:44as well as Fermanagh. Elsewhere it's a dry end to the day
01:48as temperatures arrive around 15 towards western Scotland,
01:5216 for Wales, 18 for the south-east of England, 15 or 16
01:56for Northern Ireland. So that's the picture through tomorrow afternoon.
02:00Through tomorrow evening and overnight we hang on to the breeze, so
02:04temperatures still on the mild side, but notice this cloud and rain
02:08gradually pushing across mainland Scotland, covering Northern Ireland, north-west
02:12England as well as the Midlands, seeing some into Friday morning.
02:16And this band of rain here, even though it's fairly narrow towards the south, we could
02:20actually see some more intense bursts as we head through the first part of the day.
02:24And it slowly pushes ever eastwards, turning showery towards
02:28the south-west. So most places seeing some wet weather on Friday
02:32as temperatures arrive around 13 to 16 Celsius, so lower than
02:36Thursday. Now come Saturday, another band of cloud and rain moves in
02:40from the north-west. We hang on to some brighter and drier skies further south
02:44as well as east, and the winds again will be a feature towards more northern and
02:48western areas where that rain could be quite persistent. Showers ahead
02:52of it across the north of England as well as Wales, and some
02:56brighter skies further south and south-east. Temperatures here 14 or 15
03:00degrees Celsius. I'll see you later.
