00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday morning weather update from the Met Office.
00:05Now through today, high pressure remains firmly in charge across the country.
00:09Now with that, a lot of cloud trapped underneath it and we're seeing some fog first thing.
00:14Things do change subtly as we head through Thursday, more about that in a moment.
00:20For the time being, if you are stepping out, it's a bit of a chilly start across central
00:23and northern areas of Scotland.
00:25Breezy across the far north there with the odd showery burst.
00:28You can see more cloud and a bit of dampness in the air for the central belt down towards
00:32Northumberland as well as Cumbria.
00:34A lot of clouds covering much of Northern Ireland as well.
00:37And then further south, there are some fog patches lurking out there where we've seen
00:41clearer skies overnight.
00:43Towards the south though, that cloud is fairly thick, winds remain fairly light and one or
00:47two showers just flirting with the south coast.
00:50So all in all, not a lot of weather going on, but certainly not a lot of sunshine through
00:54the first part of the day, although hazy sunshine to start the day once the sun arrives
00:59across central and northern areas of Scotland.
01:02Now through today, you will find the cloud will break at times.
01:05That's going to allow some brighter breaks to come through, if not some sunshine.
01:09So the cloud thinning, you can see here some sunshine just trying to get through.
01:14Favoured spots will always be central and eastern areas of Scotland, north east England
01:18not doing too badly at all, and the breeze will pick up across the western isles as we
01:22head through the day.
01:23In any sunshine, temperatures 14 to 16 degrees Celsius, so slightly above average for this
01:29time of year.
01:30Here's that subtle change coming in across Scotland on Thursday.
01:34The winds pick up here as this area of high pressure sinks down towards the south and
01:38what that means gusty over the highlands, the southern uplands, as well as north Pennines.
01:43And the winds will pick up as we head through Wednesday evening coming in from the southwest.
01:48So temperatures will be relatively mild overnight as the cloud thickens all the while.
01:53Dusty rain on those upslopes towards the west there, more persistent rain just affecting
01:58Shetland and those winds increasing slightly across more northern parts of England, southern
02:04areas of Scotland.
02:06Towards the south, that's where the lowest temperatures are.
02:08And again, as temperatures dip down to around 7 to 9 degrees Celsius with a light wind,
02:13we could see some mist and fog patches forming as we head into Thursday morning.
02:18Through Thursday, a canvas of cloud breaking at times, allowing for some brighter skies
02:24to come through.
02:25So again, there's not a lot of change here.
02:28Subtle movements in our weather, but certainly we'll see more clouds and some patchy rain
02:32continuing across the north as well as the west of Scotland with those gusty winds over
02:37the hills.
02:38The winds ease into Friday.
02:39Again, there's a lot of cloud around, the clouds could break at times.
02:43Into the weekend, not a lot of change.
02:45This is high pressure for you, anti-cyclonic gloom for some, brighter skies for others.
02:50I'll see you later.
02:51Bye bye.
02:52Have a lovely day.
