00:00Hello again. Wednesday was another fairly grey day, at least for most of us, and Thursday
00:06promises again pretty cloudy skies, but maybe not quite so misty. High pressure continues
00:11to dominate, actually sitting well to the east of us, but another centre of the high
00:15pressure is building just to the east, generating the winds coming up from the south. Quite
00:20a noticeable breeze around some western coasts, and that southerly breeze is also bringing
00:26in the cloud and the reasonably mild air. A bit of drizzle here and there across parts
00:30of the south, particularly over hills and parts of Scotland. Again, over high ground
00:34maybe seeing a little bit of drizzly rain, but northern Scotland has seen some sunshine
00:38through Wednesday and will continue to see some decent clear spells overnight. Temperatures
00:43are going to hold up. It's generally pretty mild air, and with the blanket of cloud keeping
00:47the temperatures high as well, we won't start Thursday any lower than about 8 or 9 Celsius
00:53in towns and cities. Some rural spots may be a little lower, but many will start in
00:57double figures. So, a pretty warm start to Thursday, a pretty grey start to Thursday.
01:03Again, some drizzle here and there, especially over hills, moors of the southwest, hills
01:08and mountains of Wales, but most places will be just dry and fairly drab. We are, I think,
01:14going to see not quite so much in the way of mist. Visibility should be a little bit
01:18better during Thursday. Still some hill fog where the cloud is sitting over the higher
01:23routes, but equally to the north and west of high ground, we should again see some breaks
01:28in the cloud. So, northern Scotland, again, instead of grey skies here, we should see
01:33some decent spells of sunshine. Still quite breezy across the northwest in particular.
01:37That breeze helping actually to both break the cloud up, but also bring some higher temperatures
01:43and parts of northern Scotland could easily get to 16, maybe 17 or even 18 degrees Celsius.
01:49Elsewhere, temperatures close to the average for the time of year, a little milder in the
01:53west, 14, 15 degrees possible here, whereas many central and eastern parts 10, 11 or 12
01:59Celsius. So, close to average, but we will see above average temperatures in the west
02:03and particularly above average across northern Scotland with those southerly winds and something
02:08called the fern effect. For more on that, you can catch Aiden's Deep Dive. That's available
02:15on our YouTube channel from Tuesday. As we go through Thursday evening, we'll keep the
02:20clearest skies across northern Scotland. We'll keep the thick cloud for most places, but
02:25most places will also stay dry to some light rain and drizzle here and there over the hill.
02:30So, not a great deal of change as we go into Friday. In fact, again, northern Scotland
02:33favoured for some bright or sunny skies. Maybe a few more breaks in the cloud again, north
02:38and west Wales, but also maybe over parts of northern England, southern Scotland, we
02:42could see a bit more sunshine. Again, quite thick cloud across the south with some drizzle
02:46here over any hills, but most places will stay dry. Temperatures maybe not quite so
02:51high on Friday, 10 or 11 degrees Celsius. Again, with some brightness in the west, we
02:56could see those temperatures getting into the mid-teens and again, maybe a touch higher
03:00in northern Scotland. Subtle changes as we go through the weekend and into the early
03:05part of next week, but high pressure remains in control. For more on that, you can catch
03:10the 10-day trend that's available on YouTube.
