00:00 Hi there, the weekend will start off damp and breezy for many of us. It's not going
00:04 to rain all the time everywhere this weekend but certainly there is plenty of
00:09 rain moving in from the west already across Northern Ireland pushing into
00:13 southwest Scotland during the evening, northwest England and west Wales. The
00:16 showers to the far north of Scotland continuing for a time but clear spells
00:20 generally for northern Scotland and the southeast of England. The lot of cloud
00:24 and spells of rain moving in elsewhere along with a freshening breeze it's
00:28 going to be a milder night. 14-15 Celsius in places again the exception northern
00:34 Scotland where clear skies and lighter winds will lead to the mid single
00:37 figures. However it's here where we'll see the best of any sunshine first thing
00:42 weather fronts tending to avoid northern Scotland throughout Saturday. They're
00:45 going to slide across these central parts. An elongated area of low pressure moving
00:49 in from the northwest with tightly packed isobars on its southern flank so
00:53 breezy conditions especially towards the southwest and that low really with us.
00:57 For the majority of the weekend ahead of it's some sunshine for southeast
01:03 England but it soon turns cloudier with some light outbreaks of rain by the end
01:07 of the morning. Likewise for northern Scotland we see sunny skies at first and
01:12 temperatures will rise through the morning with some showers developing but
01:16 actually that's where the brightest conditions will remain across the rest
01:20 of the UK. It's spells of wet weather heaviest and most persistent over
01:24 western hills especially the hills of northwest Wales, northwest England and
01:29 widely over western hills 20 to 30 millimetres will accumulate through
01:33 Saturday significantly more in some of the wetter spots across say northwest
01:39 Wales for example. All of this is carried along by a strengthening breeze strong
01:46 winds in particular around exposed southwestern coasts so watch out for
01:50 those if you are heading to the coast or if you're camping this weekend but
01:54 lighter winds further north and really it's slow changes as we go through
01:59 Saturday. Now the rain not particularly heavy and persistent during the day
02:04 across central and southeastern parts of the UK it's on and off rainfall and by
02:09 the early hours of Sunday the main bands have cleared through but we've got this
02:14 moist southwestly airflow so I think a lot of low cloud some sea mist and some
02:19 hill fog as well some continuing drizzle in places likewise. The heavier and more
02:24 persistent wet weather will remain across central and southern Scotland
02:27 northern England and parts of Northern Ireland. Once again clear skies for
02:31 northern Scotland cool start here on Sunday but mild start elsewhere with
02:36 temperatures at around 15 or 16 Celsius and again slow changes through Sunday we
02:42 start off with grey skies we start off with some drizzle in places and some
02:46 longer spells of wet weather for northern England and southern Scotland
02:49 in particular. Eventually skies do brighten across the southern half of the
02:53 UK albeit with some showers developing hit and miss downpours some heavy bursts
02:57 at times and we've still got this strong southwesterly airflow however that's
03:02 going to be importing milder more humid air from the southwest so temperatures
03:07 significantly higher by Sunday especially if we see any cloud breaks 24
03:11 25 Celsius always possible if we get those cloud breaks otherwise high teens
03:18 low 20s and for northern Scotland a cool breeze from the north but here again
03:23 bright conditions and mostly dry aside from a few showers. It's really through
03:27 this central zone central and southern Scotland northern England where we see
03:30 the persistent rain hanging on through Sunday and those rainfall amounts
03:35 totting up through the weekend particularly for the likes of the
03:38 Pennines the North York Moors for example some significant totals by the
03:44 end of the weekend here. Now by Monday much of this is going to sink south and
03:49 clear through again slow processes but eventually Monday turns into a day of
03:54 sunny spells and showers drier conditions on the whole for Tuesday
03:58 before another low turns up on Wednesday.
