00:00Hello. Much of the country had a wet and windy start to Wednesday, but many places are brightening

00:06up through the rest of today with some afternoon sunshine, but also a fair few showers. The

00:11messy view from space shows a lot of cloud in the satellite image and the radar also

00:16showing plenty of heavy rain earlier. And it's all slowly slipping southwards, courtesy

00:21of this weather front. So although East Anglia in the southeast had a dry morning, the rain

00:25moving in here this afternoon, but even here, tending to ease off by the end of the afternoon.

00:30Following on behind brighter skies, yes, but also a whole host of showers. And although

00:35the winds will be easing a touch, it's going to stay blustery through this afternoon. And

00:41it feels cooler out there this afternoon compared to this morning because that weather front

00:45is a cold weather front. So quite a warm, humid start because certainly because much

00:49of England and Wales. But as that weather front sinks southwards, taking its rain with

00:53it, introducing cooler and fresher conditions with many places this afternoon, seeing temperatures

00:59in the mid-teens and feeling colder than that because of that gusty wind, which will continue

01:04to throw showers into northwest England, Northern Ireland and Scotland overnight. But further

01:10south, I think the showers will tend to fade and many places will become dry across England

01:15and Wales with lengthy clear spells and the winds will start to ease a touch as well.

01:19That all adds up to a cooler night after a very warm night and a humid night. Last

01:25night, temperatures will be down into single digits and well down into single figures across

01:29the south. So a much fresher start to Thursday. But for many, certainly because England and

01:35Wales are dry and a bright start. Lots of showers, though, through the morning across

01:39Scotland, still fairly blustery here as well. For Northern Ireland, we'll see a mix of sunshine

01:44and showers, but many places won't see too many showers here during the morning. I think

01:48we'll see more in the afternoon. At the same time, we'll see showers coming into parts

01:52of England and Wales, particularly Northern England and North Wales, with much of southern

01:57England and certainly across East Anglia staying dry and bright with sunny spells and actually

02:02probably not too many showers in the afternoon across the northeast either. There will still

02:06be a fairly brisk wind blowing throughout the day. But look at these temperatures well

02:10above average for the time of year, feeling a little warmer than Wednesday. Get out that

02:15breeze in the sunny spells in the southeast, 20 degrees Celsius. That is well above average

02:20for this time of year. As we head through Thursday evening, I think we'll see a few

02:24more showers coming into southern parts of Scotland, in particular, the wind staying

02:29pretty lively across the northwest. So things turning wetter generally for Western Scotland

02:33and more showers for Northern Ireland and parts of Northern England. Whereas, again,

02:37across the south, most places staying dry. But that is another weather front which will

02:41sink south as we head through Friday. More details on that and a first look at the weekend
