00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your evening weather update from the Met Office. Low pressure has
00:05brought some outbreaks of rain, particularly across northern and western parts of the UK
00:09today. This system moves out of the way overnight and then high pressure starts to build in
00:13across the UK, keeping it dry and settled for the rest of the weekend and much of next
00:18week too. Becoming established to the east of the UK, we'll see the winds coming in from
00:22the southeast as we move through next week, temperatures rising, particularly across central
00:27and western parts. Looking at the picture for this evening time, this weather front
00:31continues to push its way southeast with very little rain left on it across southern counties
00:35of England and Wales, just some light rain and drizzle. Overnight, some clear spells
00:40developing but generally staying fairly cloudy and windy, particularly across the northern
00:43half of the UK, gales around some coasts of Scotland continuing and further heavy showers
00:48across northern Scotland, Orkney and Shetland, seeing the most frequent showers through the
00:53night. As a result of a loss of cloud, temperatures not falling too low, generally 7 to 9 Celsius,
00:59so not so chilly night to come and a fairly bright start to Sunday morning. Though there'll
01:04be a fair amount of cloud around, this should start to break up as we head through the day,
01:08but it remains quite windy across northern parts of the UK, the Pennines seeing gusts
01:12of 40-50 mph for a time. It remains windy down the east coast of England and Scotland
01:17too, and that wind coming in from the northerly direction and we could see some large waves
01:22around some coasts here, so do take care if you are heading to coastal stretches for
01:26the afternoon. Best of the sunshine across central western parts of England and Wales,
01:30stretching into parts of Northern Ireland, western Scotland as well. Winds will be lighter
01:35here and feeling pleasant in that sunshine. Highs reaching the mid-teens, 14 to 16 Celsius,
01:41generally locally we could see 17 or 18 perhaps across southern counties. Always feeling chillier
01:47with that breeze still across eastern parts in particular. As we head through into the
01:52evening time, weather fronts do start to move in across parts of Northern Ireland into
01:55the Western Isles and the Highlands as well. Could be thick enough for a few splashes of
02:00light rain and drizzle. Generally elsewhere it stays dry with some lengthy clear skies
02:04and that will allow temperatures to drop away, chillier than the night just gone, 3 or 4
02:10Celsius in towns and cities in the countryside lower than this. There could be some low cloud
02:14also developing around some western coasts of England and Wales to take us into Monday
02:20morning. But a chilly start, bright start for many though. Thicker cloud across Northern
02:23Ireland, northern and western parts of Scotland will remain here through the day. There will
02:27be some sunny spells developing there as that cloud tries to break up. But the vast majority
02:33of England and Wales will be dry, lengthy blue skies and sunshine out there and winds
02:38generally on the light side. It will be a pleasant afternoon. Temperatures again 17,
02:4218 Celsius, well above average where we should be around 12 Celsius at the best for this
02:48time of year. Under the cloud even still reaching 14 or 15 Celsius. Into the evening
02:54time further cloud across northern and western parts of the UK. But for the next few days
03:00high pressure builds further and it keeps it settled. Plenty of sunshine to come through
03:05the middle part of the week. Temperatures rising as well, perhaps locally getting into
03:11the low 20s across central and western and north-western parts of the UK. Always a little
03:16bit chillier further east you are with that east to south-easterly breeze developing.
