00:00Hello, very good morning to you. The anti-cyclonic gloom many of us have been under for a little
00:05while will continue through the next day or so. We call it this because we're under high
00:10pressure and anti-cyclone and whilst this brings a settled weather, in this instance
00:15it's kind of trapping the cloud and keeping it over us which is why things are pretty
00:19grey for the time being. And with that we will see some outbreaks of drizzly rain as
00:23we go through the rest of today through into tomorrow as well. There is a front coming
00:28down from the north as we go through later tomorrow. That won't bring a huge amount of
00:31rain to many places. It's actually a feature that arrives later in the weekend, more so
00:35Sunday that's likely to bring something a bit more unsettled so we can expect some heavier
00:40rain, some stronger winds as we go into the beginning of next week. But if we go back
00:44to the here and now and through this morning, some fog and freezing fog patches first thing
00:48particularly across parts of Scotland and some of these could linger through much of
00:52the day. Otherwise the best of the sunshine will actually be across Scotland. Some glimmers
00:57of sunshine across parts of Northern Ireland, maybe parts of Wales, perhaps across some
01:01southern parts but actually for many again it is looking pretty grey, pretty cloudy and
01:06with that we're going to see outbreaks of drizzly rain coming in from the east. Nothing
01:10especially heavy but yeah just a bit damp at times and the cloud could be thick and
01:16low enough to get some hill fog in places too. Temperatures are going to be similar
01:21to recent days really, a touch below average for the time of year so feeling a bit chilly
01:26because sunshine will be so limited but the winds aren't especially strong, just a bit
01:30of a breeze towards the far north and the far south as well. There will be more cloud,
01:36more drizzly rain as we go through this evening and overnight, especially across parts of
01:40England and Wales but as we go through the night I am expecting a few outbreaks of rain
01:45to push into some parts of Northern Ireland and to push into parts of South West Scotland
01:49as well. Some clearer skies towards the north east of Scotland and across some parts of
01:54Northern Ireland too but generally not as many clear skies or as much clear sky compared
01:59to last night so it's not going to get quite as cold, not quite as frosty but still a touch
02:04of frost in some places. Where the cloud remains it's again not going to turn, especially chilly
02:09temperatures holding up, not a huge drop from the daytime highs for many of us. Still where
02:14we see the clear skies frost there could be some fog and freezing fog patches once more
02:19as we go through tomorrow morning. Otherwise through tomorrow and the focus of the drizzly
02:22rain will have pushed a little bit further north and west so it's mainly going to be
02:25across parts of northern western England into Wales and a few outbreaks elsewhere. Across
02:30central eastern parts of England it's perhaps going to be a slightly drier day compared
02:35to today but still pretty grey and gloomy for the whole. As opposed to across parts
02:40of Northern Ireland there should be some breaks in the cloud here, perhaps a few spots of
02:45rain and also across Scotland there should be some breaks in the cloud too but later
02:49on that front that I mentioned earlier does start to push its way in from the northwest
02:53so we will see something a bit more persistent rain wise arriving as we go through towards
02:57evening. Temperatures well relatively similar to today really so no great shakes, a little
03:02bit below average for the time of year. As we head towards the weekend we are going to
03:07see something a bit more unsettled arriving so it's actually going to be calm as we go
03:11through or generally calm as we go through Friday into Saturday. That front arriving
03:15doesn't bring a huge amount of rain for most of us but by Sunday that other feature that
03:20I mentioned is likely to turn things more unsettled. We can expect our winds to pick
03:25up, we can expect some rain which could be quite heavy in some places arriving in time
03:29for the beginning of next week but we will also see something a bit milder arriving so
03:34our temperatures are going to rise as well. You'll definitely want to keep up to date
03:38with the forecast with something a bit more unsettled on the cards for next week. You
