00:00Hello, thanks for joining me for your afternoon weather update from the Met Office.
00:03If you are watching on YouTube, don't forget to hit subscribe and then you'll never miss a forecast.
00:08The weather is a bit mixed. Most places having a dry day today, but some places staying cloudy,
00:14others seeing quite a bit of sunshine. There's a big swirl of cloud out in the Atlantic,
00:18an area of low pressure, but it's only making very slow progress towards the UK.
00:24This weather front is going to sit across Northern Ireland tomorrow and bring quite a wet day.
00:28But for today, it's not really having too much of an impact and most places staying dry.
00:34There are zones that are cloudier than others, parts of eastern England staying pretty glum,
00:39a bit more cloud over parts of southwest England and Wales too.
00:42The odd shower is possible here and the cloud close to the east coast,
00:46thick enough at times for maybe a little bit of drizzle here and there.
00:49We're seeing some sunny spells there, parts of western Scotland in particular,
00:53and elsewhere the cloud breaking up at times to reveal a little bit of sunshine.
00:56And of course, the sun and the wind direction in particular make a huge difference to the feel
01:01and the temperature at this time of year.
01:04We could, in the sunny spells, squeak up to the high teens in places,
01:07but around the coasts, particularly if it stays quite grey in the east coast,
01:11we may struggle to get out of single digits.
01:14As we go through the evening and overnight, we'll start to see more of an influence from that weather front.
01:18So the cloud will thicken more and more across Northern Ireland,
01:20rain coming into the west by this evening and then spreading right across Northern Ireland
01:25by first thing tomorrow morning.
01:27We could see some of that rain and drizzle just getting into the west coast of Wales,
01:31maybe the far southwest of Scotland by morning time.
01:33But elsewhere, it's generally a dry night.
01:36Still some thick cloud across parts of the east, if anything,
01:38that'll move back inland from the North Sea.
01:41And where we've got the clear skies, that's where we'll see the lowest temperatures.
01:45And it will be quite a chilly night if skies stay clear all night,
01:49well down into single figures, even in towns and cities and rural spots,
01:53where we may even see a few pockets of frost.
01:55But in the west, we're staying well above freezing as the cloud thickens and the breeze picks up.
02:00That's going to make for a pretty wet day for Northern Ireland tomorrow.
02:03Outbreaks of rain on and off throughout the day.
02:05Some heavy bursts of rain likely, particularly over the Sparrens and the Morns.
02:09And that rain, as I say, really building up through the day.
02:12Some of it getting into the west coast of Scotland.
02:14The Outer Hebrides having quite a damp afternoon.
02:16The breeze picking up here too.
02:18The odd shower is possible in western parts of England and Wales also.
02:22But for the majority, it will be another dry day tomorrow.
02:24And again, a mixture of cloud and sunshine.
02:27A great start in the east, but it should cheer up here
02:29as that cloud tends to move away from the areas back out into the North Sea during the afternoon.
02:36Temperature-wise, though, again, a bit of a struggle in some of those North Sea coasts.
02:39Single digits, certainly feeling cooler than today with the rain across Northern Ireland.
02:4310 or 11 at best here, but elsewhere with some bright and sunny spells.
02:46Mid to high teens, 18, 19 possible in one or two locations.
02:51That weather front, I say, very slow progress.
02:53Still withers through Friday evening across Northern Ireland.
02:56Still some heavy pulses, particularly in the west.
02:58A bit more showery rain may creep into West Wales,
03:01southwest England during Friday evening.
03:03The weekends, we'll see that weather front tend to fizzle out
03:07before something a bit warmer comes into the south on Sunday.
03:10But for more on that, you'll want to watch Honours Weekend Forecast.
03:14That'll be available on YouTube on Thursday afternoon.
03:16So another reason to subscribe.
