00:00Thanks for joining me for your latest weather update from the Met Office.
00:03For most it's going to be a dry and coolish night, but the main exception will be Northern Ireland,
00:08where we are going to see wet weather moving in.
00:10Once it's arrived, it's going to last for most of Friday.
00:14It's a weather front which is creeping its way across Northern Ireland during the evening,
00:18and that rain turning heavier and more persistent as the night goes on.
00:22Eventually, some of it will creep into southwest Scotland.
00:25We may see the odd splash on the west coast of Wales, perhaps the far southwest of England too.
00:30The cloud's thick enough for a little drizzle over eastern counties of England and Scotland, perhaps.
00:35It's quite a lot of cloud here by morning time.
00:38In between, the clearest skies allowing the lowest temperatures, temperatures tumbling down well into the single digits in many urban areas and rural spots.
00:47Well, we may even see a few pockets of frost.
00:50Not as cold further west here because of the breeze, because of the cloud, because of the outbreaks of rain,
00:54which will persist for most of the day across Northern Ireland.
00:57Quite a soggy day here, really.
00:58Some heavy bursts of rain likely, particularly over the Sparrens and the Mourns.
01:03And so that rain really building up across southern parts of Northern Ireland by the end of the day.
01:07Rain at times on the west coast of Scotland, particularly for the Outer Hebrides, but elsewhere.
01:12Many places dry.
01:13Maybe the odd shower creeping up into Wales, perhaps Cornwall.
01:17The islands are silly.
01:18But generally, England, Wales, much of central and eastern Scotland, dry and bright.
01:21Yes, some cloud will bubble up through the day, but there will be some decent smells of sunshine.
01:26After a cloudy start, things should cheer up in the east coast.
01:28But if the breeze is still coming in from the North Sea, it's going to peg those temperatures back, struggling to get into double digits.
01:34A cooler feel for Northern Ireland with the breeze and the rain.
01:3710 or 11 at best here.
01:40And same goes for the west coast of Scotland once the rain's set in.
01:42But elsewhere, temperatures about average.
01:45Maybe a touch high with some sunny spells we could squeak into the high teens in places.
01:50Through Friday evening, that weather front, that zone of wet weather, will continue to very slowly creep its way into more parts of western Scotland.
01:59Maybe a little bit of showery rain for northwest England, more coming in for southwest England, south Wales too.
02:05But many eastern areas staying dry.
02:07And in fact, for most of Saturday, a good chunk of eastern England will have another dry and fine day.
02:12And it should be a brighter day for Northern Ireland as well.
02:14The rain clearing away from here.
02:16So some good spells of sunshine.
02:17Just a small chance of an afternoon shower.
02:20We'll see the cloud breaking up a little across central and western parts of England, Wales and Scotland.
02:25But still some showers possible during the afternoon.
02:27But for many places, again, much of Saturday looking dry.
02:31And temperatures, again, looking about average, getting into the mid or high teens with a bit of sunshine.
02:35But as always, this time of year, the wind direction is crucial if you get it coming in from the sea.
02:40That will peg those temperatures back because the sea is still pretty cold at the moment.
02:45Saturday evening, we won't see a great deal of change.
02:47But behind me, you'll notice there is a bit more in the way of wet weather gathering.
02:51A set of weather fronts moving in.
02:53The isobar squirging together as well.
02:55So that means the breeze will pick up for Sunday across Northern Ireland, Western Scotland.
03:00These weather fronts will provide some outbreaks of rain here.
03:02But elsewhere, high pressure dominating and temperatures on the rise warming up across a good chunk of England and Wales as we head into Sunday.
