The Met Office weather round-up.

Transcript

00:00 Good morning. Many of us will see some sunshine throughout today but through

00:04 the next few hours there's still a bit of cloud around and perhaps some

00:07 drizzly rain as well, particularly across the far southeast this morning. We've

00:11 still got the rain clearing from Thursday but also across parts of North

00:15 Wales, north and western England as well as some areas of Scotland. Some drizzly

00:18 showers are possible but I think you'll be fairly unlucky to see anything

00:22 particularly long-lived or heavy. Many areas though should stay dry today and

00:26 as I said there will be some sunshine on offer by the afternoon, particularly

00:29 across the south coast. I think that's where the sunshine will be most

00:33 long-lived but also many areas of Northern Ireland and southern and

00:37 central Scotland seeing some good sunshine this afternoon. The air is still

00:40 quite mild for the time of year. It's not quite as mild as yesterday but we should

00:45 still see highs of around 15 possibly 16 degrees in the south, closer to 11 or 12

00:50 degrees further north and it will also be feeling a little bit milder across

00:55 the far north of Scotland, apart from across the far northern isles where we

00:58 do have a stronger northerly breeze. So that will bring slightly cooler air to

01:02 the far north of Scotland throughout this evening but generally it will be

01:06 another fairly mild night. Some mist and fog around throughout Saturday morning.

01:11 We'll also see some drizzly rain bringing low cloud across the coast of

01:15 Wales, the southwest as well as over the hills as well. So turning a little bit

01:20 murkier by the time we get to Saturday morning from the west but through the

01:24 east it should stay clear and dry through much of the night and the winds

01:27 are fairly light. Temperatures will dip down a little bit lower than last night

01:31 so it'll be a slightly cooler night but we will be frost free to start the

01:35 weekend. There is a bit more cloud and rain to come through the course of

01:39 Saturday as well. This band of heavy rain will gradually make progress towards the

01:44 UK as the day progresses. Particularly Northern Ireland will see that through

01:48 the day, also parts of Wales possibly into the southwest by the end of the day

01:51 as well. The southeast should and central area should stay dry through much of the

01:56 day however as I said it will cloud over as the day goes on. We've still got a

02:00 southerly breeze though so it will be feeling very mild and probably a bit

02:05 muggy once again. The band of quite heavy and blustery rain will push eastwards

02:10 through the course of Saturday evening and that should clear by Sunday morning.

02:15 So Sunday looks like it should be a fairly fine day as we get a ridge of

02:18 higher pressure developing for a time so still some sunshine to end the weekend.

02:23 But you can buy more details with our full weekend forecast on YouTube.

02:27 See you later on.
