00:00A very good morning to you on this Thursday. Today we watch as cloud and rain slowly encroaches

00:06northwards and eastwards and it turns muggy yet again. Now overnight into this morning we watch

00:12as this area of cloud and rain has just moved in across the southwest. Low pressure drifts to the

00:18north of the UK and this is the back edge of the cloud and rain through Thursday eventually

00:23clearing towards the far southeast and the far northeast into Friday. So first thing if you are

00:29stepping out you may run into a shower across Shetland and Orkney, a keen breeze here. The bulk

00:33of Scotland is a fine start to the day with some sunshine extending towards eastern counties of

00:39England, the Midlands as well as the southeast. Lots of low cloud for Northern Ireland, some

00:43patchy rain here towards the south and more persistent rain just moving in across Wales as

00:47well as the West Country. A bit of a breeze to start the day across Irish sea coasts as well

00:51as the southwest and eventually we'll see this rain move northwards as well as eastwards. So

00:57through the first part of this morning you can see where the best weather is, always central and

01:01eastern areas make the most of the sunshine, eventually you'll see some cloud here. But through

01:05the morning it is wet across Wales as well as the West Country. Lots of low clouds shrouding the

01:10hills and mountains, poor visibility here and that rain will just continue through the morning as it

01:16pushes towards southern parts of Scotland moving in across the Midlands, central southern England.

01:21It's mostly showery but the rain could pep up around lunchtime across northern England as we

01:26see more rain just clip Northern Ireland as we head through the afternoon western Scotland,

01:31hanging on to some hazy sunshine towards the northeast of Scotland but it remains rather

01:36murky across the west as well as the south as we head through the afternoon. Even so, not a lot of

01:41rain across eastern counties here, temperatures around 22, 23, fresher towards the north and the

01:47west of Scotland, 20 for Belfast, 22 for Cardiff. Now through this evening the rain could become

01:54more intense and a bit more persistent across the central and southern swathes of Scotland,

01:59still rather murky across Northern Ireland, you can see here lots of low clouds and some patchy

02:04rain across England and Wales. We've lost the persistent rain though, it's clearing towards the

02:09North Sea, a bit of a breeze still across the southwest as well as the west. So through Thursday

02:14evening and overnight this massive cloud and outbreaks of rain continue their its passage

02:21eastwards and northwards. So yes, you will see some wet weather overnight across Scotland as the

02:26wind picks up some strength and it's murky and humid across England and Wales with that low

02:31cloud and patchy rain but notice that clearance coming in through the early hours of Friday

02:36morning. The wind then will pick up some strength across the north and the west of Scotland,

02:40clipping the far north of Northern Ireland with some showers here. We hang on to some

02:44dampness first thing towards the southeast but the sun will come out. So a brighter afternoon

02:49to come on Friday, breezy in the north with frequent showers and some drier skies further

02:54south and east with some sunshine. Temperatures on the up here, 21 to 25 degrees celsius. You'll

02:59outlook then through Saturday. Yes, there will be a few showers in the mix across the north and the

03:04west but still the clouds will be broken with some sunshine and temperatures 21 to 25 degrees celsius

03:10turning very warm on Sunday from the south and again with some sunny spells coming through,

03:15although we could see some clouds and also some outbreaks of rain across the far north

03:18and northwest. More details on your 10-day trend this week with Annie Shutterworth. See you later.
