00:00Hello there, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office. It's
00:03mixed fortunes over the rest of this weekend. For Easter day itself it should
00:07be fairly fine and dry but as we move into Monday we see the return of rain
00:12for most of us. But for Saturday into the early hours of Easter day we still have
00:16some rain actually around for Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. But also
00:19a fairly quiet night, we'll have some low cloud moving from the North Sea so
00:23quite a murky end to the night for many eastern areas and potentially some
00:27showers just moving in across the very far southeastern corner. So the clearest of
00:31the skies will be out towards the west so here we could just see a touch of frost
00:34as we start Easter day morning. But it's here where we'll see sunshine from the
00:38word go. Eastern areas as mentioned quite murky but that will gradually burn its
00:42way back towards the North Sea as the morning goes on and any showers in the
00:46southeast also easing as we head towards lunchtime. It's not quite the case for
00:50Northern Ireland and Western Scotland here we continue with the cloudy theme and
00:54some outbreaks of rain. And come the afternoon I think the best of the sunshine will be for
00:58eastern Scotland down to Northern England and also parts of Wales. And in the
01:02sunshine feeling pleasant enough we could see highs reaching 16 to 18 degrees but
01:07still feeling quite chilly along the North Sea coast with an onshore flow here. So temperatures
01:12struggling here around 10 to 12 degrees for some areas. Moving into the evening hours
01:18the low cloud could return back off from the North Sea and at the same time further cloud
01:22coming in from the west. So overall by the end of the night I think most of us seeing
01:26cloudy skies. Also outbreaks of rain spreading in as the night goes on. So
01:30temperatures certainly nowhere near as low as they will be on the Easter day
01:34morning. So Easter Monday morning maybe just a bit of a frost in the far north but
01:39actually for most of us I think it'll probably be no lower than around five to
01:43seven degrees. Maybe even staying in double figures in a few spots. And then Easter
01:49Monday itself really it's going to be a fairly grey day for most. There will be
01:52some breaks in the cloud from time to time but really we're just watching this
01:56area of rain gradually spread its way eastwards across the UK. We may hang on
02:00to the sunshine for most of the day across the very far northeast of Scotland
02:04although it will cloud up there later on in the day. But then reversely down towards
02:08the very far southwest it will start to cheer up later on with some sunshine as we
02:12end the long bank holiday weekend. Temperatures on Easter Monday still reaching
02:17around 16 to 17 degrees than any brightness but still quite cool along the
02:22eastern seaboard of the UK. But you can find out more information about the
02:27weather where you are over the weekend on our website or on our app. But for me
02:32for now take care and I'll see you again soon.
