00:00Good morning and welcome to your Wednesday weather update from the Met
00:03Office. Lots of low cloud to start the day, even some fog patches. Stronger winds
00:08though continue across the north and the west of the country with weather fronts
00:11just grazing the far northwest. At the same time high pressure remains routed
00:15across more southern areas and that means that low cloud is harder to shift
00:20through the day, although there will be some brighter breaks as we head through
00:23Wednesday and into Thursday. Winds pick up further into the early hours of
00:27Thursday morning across the far north of Scotland, yet again we could see some
00:31rain associated with these frontal systems. Elsewhere we're just chasing
00:34clouds and that's how we see this morning. There will be breaks in a cloud
00:37Aberdeenshire through the first part of the day, so the stronger wind across
00:41Western Scotland. Northern Ireland probably the best place to see the
00:44sunshine through this morning into this afternoon. A lot of thick clouds covering
00:48much of England and Wales and where the cloud is thick enough, yes you'll see
00:51some patchy rain and drizzle. Over the high ground poor visibility but even at
00:55lower levels there are some fog patches around first thing this morning. As we
01:00head through the day then, well not a lot of change. As I said high pressure
01:04remains in charge across England and Wales. The cloud could break or thin at
01:08times, favoured spots northeast England, the Welsh borders, even down towards the
01:12west country. Thicker cloud continues elsewhere. For Northern Ireland you'll
01:16see some sunny breaks through the morning into the afternoon extending
01:19across the central belt of Scotland towards eastern Scotland. Now towards
01:23the northwest, always more in the way of cloud here and also some outbreaks of
01:27rain. A stronger wind right the way through until evening time. Here though
01:31temperatures around 10, 11, 12 degrees Celsius. Elsewhere around 8 or 9 so
01:37around average for this time of year but feeling cool or cold under that cloud,
01:41that cloud which could persist into Wednesday evening across some parts.
01:46Elsewhere through this evening and overnight initially we will see some
01:50clearer skies. They could actually persist across North Wales, Northern
01:54England, even some parts of central southern areas of Scotland. So pockets of
01:59frost can't be ruled out as we head into Thursday morning. Elsewhere yes always
02:03more clouds across the north and the west of Scotland as we enter the day on
02:07Thursday and some patchy rain just comes and goes. Elsewhere yes some fog patches
02:11to start the day. A chilly start across Wales, Northern England, always more
02:16clouds down towards central and eastern areas of England. Some brighter breaks
02:20possible through the morning into the afternoon though and temperatures around
02:235 where you see that cloud persisting probably 8 or 9, 10 towards the
02:28northwest. Friday morning looks like this. Not a lot of change through the
02:32afternoon and temperatures struggling especially across England and Wales.
02:35Towards the north and the west we could see temperatures up to around 10
02:39degrees Celsius. Most places just about dry. See you later.
