00:00Thanks for joining me for your latest weather update from the Met Office. It
00:04has been a drab week across the south but things are going to change. High
00:09pressure that's been in charge is starting to dribble away and this cold
00:13front is going to introduce what we call cleaner air and many of us will as a
00:18result see some sunshine tomorrow. But for the rest of today most air is still
00:23pretty drab. We've got some breaks in the cloud over Northeast Scotland allowed a
00:27frost last night so some morning sunshine here. There's that weather front
00:31bringing rain across the northwest of Scotland trickling into northern parts
00:34of Northern Ireland later. For much of England and Wales just dry and cloudy
00:37but we do have some outbreaks of rain across southwest England some rain and
00:41drizzle elsewhere over the Midlands parts of southern Scotland too. But as I
00:45say many places just dry and cloudy. On the chilly side temperatures a touch
00:49below average for many six or seven degrees Celsius. The winds though are
00:52quite light. The winds will be picking up across the northwest as that weather
00:56front moves its way southwards introducing some patchy rain to the
01:00central belt and in the Belfast area this evening. But kind of fizzling out as
01:04it does so. Patches of rain for England and Wales overnight quite misty and
01:08murky still on some of the higher routes in particular. But there's that clearer
01:12air coming in across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some breaks in the
01:15cloud that will allow a touch of frost over parts of Eastern Scotland in
01:20particular. Whereas the cloud keeps the temperatures up for England and Wales.
01:23Frost free here four or five degrees Celsius. Whereas certainly in rural parts
01:27of eastern Scotland we could get down to minus two or minus three. On to Saturday
01:32and as I suggested a brighter day for many. It is still gonna be pretty grey in
01:37the morning across southern England, East Anglia and the southeast in particular
01:40hanging on to that cloud probably until around lunchtime. But brighter skies
01:44follow many of us seeing some sunshine. There will still be some showers for
01:48Wales, northwest England and it then clouds over again for Scotland and
01:51Northern Ireland. As another weather front starts to move in and bring some
01:55outbreaks of rain in here and the wind strengthening further. But as I mentioned
01:59for England and Wales where it has been a very dry a drab week. We are looking at
02:03some bluer skies for Saturday afternoon. Temperatures though still going to be
02:07in single digits. I suspect we're only looking at again six seven maybe eight
02:12degrees Celsius. Feeling cooler than five or six in the northwest as the wet
02:16and windy weather comes in. But that is also going to introduce milder
02:21conditions. Another weather front bringing in the cloud and rain which
02:25will become more extensive on Saturday evening across Scotland, Northern Ireland
02:28and it may well turn damp over northwest England and parts of North Wales too.
02:33That is a warm front and tucked in here we call this a warm sector is much
02:38milder air. So that's the big thing about Sunday is that it is going to turn
02:43milder as that warmer air pushes right across the UK. A chilly start in the
02:48southeast for sure but it will turn milder through the day. It's going to be
02:51quite cloudy again though. Rain and drizzle at times in western areas but
02:55some parts of the east I suspect may well see some bright spells coming
02:59through. The rain in the northwest needs watching because that could well turn
03:02heavier through the day and then may well last well into next week. So we need
03:08to keep our eyes on that wet weather in the far northwest. Also getting quite
03:11windy here on Sunday blustery conditions. Elsewhere look at those numbers
03:15temperatures in double digits 11 or 12 Celsius for many by the end of Sunday. So
03:21plenty going on with the weather this weekend. Do keep up to date with the
03:24latest particularly on any Met Office warnings and you can see those on the
