00:00Hello there. Welcome to your weather update from the Met Office. The mixed
00:04picture continues as we go through the rest of this Easter weekend but
00:08thankfully for parts of the southwest today will be a little bit drier compared
00:12to what we saw on Good Friday. But still a fair bit of cloud and rain across the
00:17west with the heaviest the most persistent rain probably focused over
00:20towards Western Scotland maybe parts of Northern Ireland too. Best of the
00:24sunshine this afternoon will be over towards Eastern Scotland down into
00:28Northern England maybe parts of East Anglia and the southeast too. But with
00:31more of an onshore flow here today it will be feeling cooler compared to
00:35Friday with maybe the highest temperatures down towards a very far
00:39south of England where we could see highs reaching around 16 or 17 degrees. Into
00:45the evening and nighttime period for much of Scotland England and Wales actually
00:49should be a fairly quiet night. We will see some low clouds drifting from the
00:53North Sea so quite a murky night to come across the eastern coast and still going
00:57to see some rain for parts of Northern Ireland and the very far west of Scotland.
01:02Where we do see the clearer skies it will be turning chilly you could just see a
01:06touch of frost in the most prone spots. So if we start Easter day we are keeping an eye on the risk of
01:13some showers just moving in across the very far south eastern corner for a time.
01:17Could even hear the odd rumble of thunder but they will ease away again as we
01:21approach midday. From most of England Scotland and Wales it should be a fairly
01:25fine Easter day. Best of the sunshine will be focused across Scotland, Northern
01:30England and Wales with parts of southern England turning increasingly overcast as
01:35the day goes on. For Northern Ireland and the far west of Scotland however still the
01:39risk of some showers here but maybe the far east of Northern Ireland seeing a fairly
01:44fine afternoon. Where we do see the sunshine feeling pleasant enough could see
01:49highs reaching 16, 17 possibly even 18 degrees in a few spots. But unfortunately
01:56as we go into Easter Monday we will see a return to rain across many parts of the UK.
02:01But not wash out completely there will be some brighter and sunnier moments in
02:05between bands of rain and showers but some of the rain could potentially be on the
02:09heavy side. Temperatures for most of us around where they should be for the time of year but in the sunshine it will feel pleasant but if you're stuck under the cloud and rain
02:16again a rather disappointing day to come. But if you want more information about the
02:21weather where you are over the rest of this Easter weekend you can check out our
02:25app or look on our website. But for me for now take care and I'll see you again soon.
