00:00Hello there, hope you've had a good week so far. It has been a rather breezy one for many
00:05of us, but there is a little respite from the winds coming up. Taking a look at the
00:09bigger picture we can see why it has been so breezy. A tight squeeze in the isobars
00:13bringing these brisk westerly winds through and into Friday we will see a cold front sinking
00:18southwards continuing to bring some further squally winds. It's into Saturday where we'll
00:23start to see an area of high pressure begin to build in across the UK and that will bring
00:29a bit of a calmer note for a time being at least. But if we focus on the here and now,
00:34rewind the clock back to Thursday evening, the cold front that we saw will begin its
00:38life up in the north west pushing its way into Scotland and Northern Ireland over the
00:42course of Thursday evening and into the night. The rain it brings could be heavy at times
00:46and come in a fairly short amount of time frame as well. Those squally winds potentially
00:51bringing gusts of 45-50 miles per hour. Staying dry further to the south and we'll retain
00:57that rather mild air with the clouds and breeze so many locations only dropping down
01:02into 11 degrees or so. Behind the cold front though we're seeing the introduction of some
01:07fresher and cooler air so a late minimum for the likes of Scotland and some rural locations
01:13may drop down into mid single figures. For the morning rush hour then on Friday this
01:19cold front could prove a bit of a feature for areas of Northern England continuing to
01:23bring the outbreaks of heavy rain, the odd rumble of thunder possible as well. We'll
01:28see sunny intervals coming in from behind but with that some blustery showers. These
01:33could also be heavy with the risk of hail and thunder. Southeast England though, tending
01:38to stay dry for most part of the day, the cold front not quite reaching them until later
01:42on and we'll see that mild air still coming up from the south west so temperatures here
01:47throughout Friday could reach highs of 18 or 19 degrees Celsius. Behind the cold front
01:52though with that introduction of the fresher air temperatures much notably down compared
01:56to Thursday reaching only highs of 12 or 13 degrees Celsius. For the evening rush hour
02:03then some heavy bursts of rain possible across southeast England as that cold front eventually
02:07clears its way through. That will lead into clear intervals through Friday night. Still
02:12some showers filtering their way in from the north west but underneath those clear skies
02:16and the ever decreasing breeze temperatures will drop away a bit more so a noticeably
02:20more chillier night as we move throughout into the early hours of Saturday morning.
02:26The rest of Saturday then as we saw before an area of high pressure beginning to build
02:31in so turning calmer, turning more settled for the most part and many of us will get
02:35away with a fairly fine day with some prolonged sunny intervals. Still a scattering of showers
02:40to cater for across north western areas but these will tend to be lighter compared to
02:44what we will see throughout Friday. We're in the sunshine as well, temperatures will
02:49be around average for the time of year with highs between 15 and 16 degrees Celsius. You
