00:00Hello there. Saturday has been a fine day for many of us and we've seen some
00:05wonderful skyscapes across the country, including this one taken in Stirling,
00:10Scotland, showcasing the wispy Cirrus cloud and the bubbly Cumulus cloud that
00:15many areas have seen over the course of the day. This settled weather is all
00:19thanks to high pressure that's spreading itself across the country. We do just
00:23have frontal systems squeezing past Northern Ireland and into the western
00:27parts of Scotland, which are bringing a bit more cloud and some outbreaks of
00:31rain, though most of this will be light as we move throughout Saturday evening
00:35and overnight. For many areas of England and Wales, though, it will be a calm
00:40night with clear intervals, maybe a few mist and fog patches forming and
00:45North East England could be a focal point for that, but otherwise temperatures
00:49holding up around low double digits for towns and cities dropping into single
00:53figures for some rural spots. The clear intervals for England and Wales will
00:58transition into sunny spells as we move into Sunday and it will be another
01:02wildly fine day and a pleasant one to get out and about. Some brightness
01:07coming through as well for Northern Ireland, still with the risk of an
01:10isolated shower. The patchy rain also continuing for North West Scotland,
01:14though areas further east generally staying drier. Where you're in the
01:18sunshine, it will feel warm once again with highs in the mid-20s across England
01:22and Wales. The high teens, if not pushing towards 20 degrees for Northern Ireland
01:26and Scotland. We keep a fairly similar theme throughout Sunday evening, with
01:31many areas staying largely dry away from North West Scotland, but the winds will
01:35begin to pick up through the Channel and across southern coastlines. This is due
01:39to the repositioning of the high-pressure centre and the squeeze and
01:43the ice of bars. The north easterly breeze that develops will also push
01:46cloud into eastern locations, so as we move into bank holiday Monday for
01:51Northern Ireland, Wales and England. It will turn a bit cooler in the east, whereas
01:55the sunshine and highest temperatures will prevail further west. You can keep
01:59up to date with the forecast for the rest of the bank holiday weekend, or the
02:03start of next week if you're in Scotland, by following us on social media and
02:07we'll see you again soon. Bye bye!
