00:00Hello, here's your latest weather update from the Met Office. I'm Marco Petania. We're starting
00:04the weekend on a generally fine note across the UK. Plenty of sunshine around, just a
00:08bit of patchy cloud developing across the south as we head into the afternoon, possibly
00:11bringing the odd shower, but most places are set fair. The clearest sky is generally lurking
00:15there towards the north and northwest. And in the sunshine, temperatures are doing fairly
00:19well, generally in the range of the high teens to low 20 Celsius, 21 there locally in the
00:23northwest and up to 23 Celsius in London, 23 is 73 in Fahrenheit. Although the temperatures
00:29here will be tempered a little bit by the east to northeasterly breeze, just taking
00:32the edge off of those values. But on the whole, pleasantly warm when the sunshine does break
00:36through. As we head into the evening and through the overnight period, cloud will start to
00:40increase from the south more bodily, particularly across England and Wales, and we'll start
00:44to see a few showers breaking out, particularly across the south-east of England later in
00:46the night. One or two of those showers quite heavy, potentially even thundery by Sunday
00:50morning. So the clearest sky is lingering there across parts of Scotland and Northern
00:54Ireland. And here, apart from the odd mist or fog patch, as I say, staying fairly clear,
00:58but turning quite chilly, certainly in some rural spots. By Sunday morning, temperatures
01:01could locally dip into single figures, down to around 7 or 8 Celsius in a few rural spots.
01:06But notice towards the south and south-east, the air turning increasingly humid and a very
01:10warm night to come in places. Temperatures no lower than 17 Celsius in a few spots, that's
01:1463 in Fahrenheit. As we head through Sunday itself, on the whole, a cloudier day than
01:18on Saturday. The best of the lingering sunshine towards the northwest of the UK, certainly
01:22through the morning, before cloud starts to increase here into the afternoon too. Whereas
01:26across England and Wales, a cloud thick enough to bring some showers at times, particularly
01:30across central and southern parts of England, and later into the north of England too. Some
01:34heavy thundery downpours in places could give some flooding issues. Whereas towards the
01:38northwest we hold on to some brighter breaks. And here, not too bad in the sunshine, temperatures
01:42into the high teens Celsius. But notice towards the south-east, it's a very warm, if not quite
01:46hot and humid feel to the day. Temperatures up to 27 Celsius in London there, 81 in Fahrenheit.
01:52Into the evening on Sunday, the showers will continue to migrate their way northwards,
01:56reaching parts of eastern Scotland. Elsewhere, some clear spells, but showers never too far
02:00away too. So on the whole, a fairly mixed picture going into Sunday evening. That's
02:04pretty much it for me, but of course you can keep tuned to The Met Office Forecast by following
