00:00Hello there. Rain pushes erratically eastwards across the western half of the UK over the

00:07next 24 hours. What that means, brighter skies always further east after a bit of a murky

00:12start on Friday morning. Let's go back to Thursday evening. It's pleasant for most

00:18with some lovely sunshine to end the day. But notice across western Scotland and Northern

00:22Ireland, this weather front here brings with it outbreaks of rain, more cloud, low cloud

00:27at that, and a strengthening wind, so some wet conditions to end the night. Elsewhere,

00:33the winds remain fairly light through the early hours of Friday morning, and where you

00:37see some starry skies, the chance of some mist and fog patches, which will lift around

00:42mid-morning on Friday. So temperatures holding up overnight, particularly towards the north

00:47and the west, 14 or 15, particularly with that keen breeze, a lot of cloud, outbreaks

00:51of rain, dipping down to possibly around 10 or 11 across mid-Wales up towards northern

00:57England. First thing then on Friday morning, wet across western parts of Scotland and Northern

01:02Ireland, see some low cloud further east, but one or two brighter spots coming through,

01:07and some brighter weather once that fog lifts across much of England and Wales, although

01:11a legacy of cloud comes and goes across eastern counties, but even here, we will see that

01:16cloud break up through Friday. So the rain across the west will be slow moving through

01:22Friday. It will introduce more cloud to the west country as well as west Wales, and for

01:27Grampians, some patchy rain comes and goes, but always the most persistent burst will

01:32be northern Ireland and western Scotland. The northern isles seeing a bright day, although

01:36quite a keen breeze here, and some brighter weather arriving across eastern Scotland through

01:41the afternoon. Elsewhere, you can see fine and mostly dry, some warm, brighter weather,

01:47and that will help temperatures through the afternoon to around 20 to 22 degrees Celsius,

01:52lower towards the west, where again, through Friday evening, that rain will persist, so

01:57some high rainfall totals for western Scotland into Saturday morning. But the rain eventually

02:02will clear these parts. On Saturday, the chance of some showers further south, some heavy

02:07showers of that towards the southwest. The cloud comes and goes through the day, but

02:11on Sunday, always the chance of showers pretty much anywhere across the country. I'll see

02:16you later. Bye bye.
