00:00Hello, happy Friday. Welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.
00:04It's been a cloudy old week for much of the UK, not everywhere. Parts of northern
00:09Scotland have seen quite a bit of sunshine and again today on the
00:12satellite pitch you can see that nice hole in the cloud, again generating quite
00:16a bit of blue sky here. It's also allowed for some fog first thing. Elsewhere we've
00:20kept the cloud. A few holes across northwest England, northern parts of
00:24Wales and the cloud is thick enough in the southwest of England to produce some
00:28drizzly conditions. So quite a damp day across parts of Devon, Cornwall and
00:33Somerset too. A bit of drizzle is possible in the east of Northern Ireland but most
00:36places again just dry and cloudy. That breeze is fairly light but dragging the
00:42air up over the hills which generates the breaks in the cloud across northwest
00:46England, particularly Cumbria and again across northern Scotland where
00:49temperatures are likely to get up to 13-14 degrees, maybe 15, not quite as warm
00:54as earlier in the week. In fact January temperatures have been dripping
00:57off over past few days so only nine or ten across parts of eastern England will
01:01feel quite cool and not feeling very pleasant with the drizzle and the
01:04fairly brisk breeze around the coast of Devon and Cornwall. That damp weather
01:09will continue through the evening and overnight. The holes in the cloud will
01:13continue across northern Scotland which will again here allow temperatures to
01:17fall down close to freezing. One change through the night the cloud is going to
01:20thicken over these eastern counties producing some drizzly conditions over
01:24parts of Yorkshire all the way up to Aberdeenshire. Temperature wise well that
01:30blanket of cloud will generally keep the temperatures up but colder air is
01:33moving in so it will be a chillier start to Saturday. Still most places a long way
01:38from freezing six or seven Celsius, nine or ten further west but in northern
01:42Scotland yes where we've got those clearer skies sheltered glens will again
01:46likely dip down to freezing. But again here we'll have some sunshine, any
01:50morning fog should clear away across northern Scotland but it's these eastern
01:54counties of Scotland and to the northeast of England where it'll be a
01:57very different day. It'll be dank and drizzly, not very pleasant at all
02:02actually. Drizzly showers likely all the way down to Lincolnshire maybe even
02:05north Norfolk. Parts of southern England again seeing a bit of drizzle maybe a
02:08little bit more in the way of damp weather just moving into Northern
02:11Ireland for Saturday all set. But elsewhere again many places just dry and
02:15cloudy. Again with some sunny skies, light winds, top temperatures in the
02:20northwest 11, 12 maybe 13 Celsius. But again temperatures for most places a
02:24degree or so down tomorrow compared to today. So with eight or nine Celsius on
02:29some of these North Sea coasts with that drizzly rain that will feel pretty cool
02:33even for the middle of November. Now as you go through Saturday evening not a
02:37great deal of change but notice these bands of fairly weak looking rain just
02:41creeping in a little bit. So it will turn a bit wetter I suspect across
02:44Northern Ireland. Those weather fronts are making steady progress and slowly
02:49but surely eroding the area of high pressure that's been with us. This low is
02:53heading up towards Iceland but it's weather front has a bit more about it. A
02:57bit more welly, a bit more oomph as it brings some more cloud and rain into the
03:01northwest. But as it moves through it will finally introduce some clearer
03:06conditions. Not really with us on Sunday for most it's another drab day but as
03:10the breeze picks up I think maybe a few more holes in the cloud are possible for
03:14parts of the Midlands, South East England. A bit of brightness here. There will be a
03:17little bit more in the way of rain as that weather front moves in across
03:20Scotland, Northern Ireland. Also some showery rain ahead of it for parts of
03:23Northern England and North Wales. Again many places will just be dry and cloudy
03:28but brighter skies coming into the far northwest. The winds picking up here as
03:32well particularly late in the day. Temperatures higher on Sunday though so
03:35it will feel a bit warmer particularly if you do get any sunny spells over Central
03:39and Eastern England. More likely to see those temperatures back into the teens.
03:43Most of us are likely to see some sunshine though on Monday. If you can't
03:48wait till then for your sunshine then check out the weather studio live. We are
03:51back so you can watch that. That'll definitely brighten your day.
