00:00Hello, good morning. There's a chance of some heavy downpours breaking out in the
00:03southwest later, but for most of us it should be another dry day. There's quite
00:08a lot of cloud around through today though, as we've got this northerly wind
00:11bringing in this cool air and cloud from the North Sea for many areas,
00:15particularly across eastern areas of Scotland and northern England. We can see
00:18some drizzly rain through the day as well. We could also see some drizzly rain
00:21continuing across parts of Wales. Still another fairly cloudy day here and
00:25across the south coast, there's a chance of some very heavy downpours, perhaps
00:29thunderstorms as well, that could bring some localised disruption. So keep an eye
00:33on the forecast if you're in those areas through the day. Having said that, there
00:38is going to be some sunshine around, particularly for parts of the central
00:41belt because the temperature is climbing to the high teens, possibly the low 20s
00:44here, and for most of us will be around 17 or 18 degrees for today. So with the
00:50lack of sunshine, that means it doesn't quite get as warm as it should do for
00:53this time of year. Through this evening, this cloud and rain from the North Sea
00:57is going to continue to push into parts of eastern England, parts of eastern
01:00Scotland as well. So here we could see outbreaks of drizzly rain through the
01:04night and some of that rain and showers could push into the
01:07far southwest as well. But further north and west it should stay largely dry
01:11through tonight, so it could be another fairly fresh start tomorrow morning for
01:15some parts of rural Scotland and Northern Ireland, for example. But here we
01:19will see the best of the sunshine through Saturday morning and I think
01:22it's a bit of a messy picture as we head into Saturday. We've still got low pressure
01:25pivoting around in the North Sea, continuing to bring this risk of heavy
01:29rain to some eastern areas of northern England and southern Scotland. And once
01:34again we could see some heavy showers across the far southwest parts of Wales
01:37as well. The far southeast though should stay fairly dry through the day and the
01:42far northwest as well. And here we'll see the best of the sunshine, the
01:46highest temperatures as well. Still only 18 or 19 degrees at best, which is a
01:50little bit below where it should be for this time of year. Looking ahead to
01:55Sunday though, we do see things turn a little bit more settled. That's because
01:59this area of low pressure that's been bugging us through much of the week
02:01slowly pushes up to the north of the UK and that will allow that high pressure
02:06to become a bit more dominant. But as we head to the end of Sunday and into
02:10Monday, the next day of low pressure is likely to arrive from the southwest. So
02:14the settled weather is unlikely to last for too long. But keep up to date with
02:18all your forecast details over the next few days and into the weekend by
