00:00 Hello. I'm going to try and sugarcoat it. Yes, there will be some heavy rain around
00:04 this weekend, but there will also be some brighter, drier weather at times too. We end
00:10 Friday on that drier note. A few outbreaks of rain around, but most places looking like
00:15 a largely dry end to the day, and there will even be some breaks in the cloud. But we have
00:21 mild air across the country, and so temperatures aren't going to drop much. It should be relatively
00:26 mild if you are heading out late on Friday. Looking ahead to Saturday though, and the
00:31 weak ridge of high pressure that brings the mostly fine weather on Friday, gradually pushes
00:36 away towards the east. We have a zone of cloudier, drizzly weather pushing in, before then this
00:41 area of wet weather is likely to make its way across the country, bringing some heavy
00:46 rain for a time. So, looking at a bit more details on Saturday morning, the best chance
00:51 of any sunshine will be towards the east before some thicker cloud feeds its way in from the
00:56 west. And like I said, that cloud could bring some drizzly outbreaks of rain, mainly over
01:00 higher ground towards western areas. But it's this feature that I pointed out before that's
01:05 going to bring the heavier, more persistent rain, initially across parts of Northern Ireland,
01:09 but then spreading into western parts of Scotland, England and Wales as we go through the afternoon.
01:15 Staying mostly dry across the southeast, but turning increasingly cloudy here. It is still
01:20 going to be pretty mild, exceptionally so for the time of year, dragging in our air
01:24 from the south. And with that, could get a bit of a fern effect. So perhaps over parts
01:29 of North Wales, maybe we could be looking at highs of around 15 or 16 Celsius, but quite
01:34 widely several degrees above average for the time of year. As we go through Saturday evening,
01:39 this band of rain then continues to push its way eastwards. And so, although in the southeast
01:44 it's going to be a largely dry day, the rain is going to arrive here. So pretty wet end
01:49 to the day here. Different story though for Scotland and Northern Ireland, the rain clearing
01:53 through so whilst it will stay pretty cloudy and there may be a few showery outbreaks around,
01:58 it is going to be much drier than during the daytime. Staying mild though, in fact even
02:02 milder than through Friday evening. So by 10 o'clock, many places holding up in double
02:07 figures, obviously not necessarily feeling that pleasant in the wind and the rain. Looking
02:12 ahead to Sunday and that feature then clears away towards the east. Bit of uncertainty
02:17 as to exactly how quickly it does so. So it is possible that that rain will linger across
02:23 parts of the southeast a little bit longer than this may suggest. Behind it, something
02:27 a bit drier, just a few showers to watch out for. But on the whole, Sunday does look like
02:32 a drier day for many of us compared to Saturday. There may not be a huge amount of sunshine,
02:37 but I am expecting some breaks in the clouds, so some sunshine at times. And the showers
02:42 look fairly well scattered and pretty light for most of us. So definitely looking like
02:47 the driest day of the week. And once any rain in the southeast clears away, there may be
02:52 perhaps a bit more sunshine developing as we go through into the afternoon. So you may
02:57 have a better chance then of seeing some sunny spells. Again, it is going to be mild. A slight
03:01 change in our wind directions coming more from the west southwest means it's perhaps
03:06 in the southeast where we have the greatest chance of seeing the highest temperatures
03:09 again around 16 Celsius. But if that rain does linger in the southeast, which is quite
03:15 possible, then those temperatures will be lower than this suggests. As we look ahead
03:20 to next week and after a drier start, things are going to turn much more unsettled with
03:25 some heavy rain likely to come through as we go through the middle part of the week.
03:29 But all the time, temperatures are likely to stay relatively mild, at least for the
03:33 time of year. We will obviously keep you up to date with the forecast as we go through
03:37 the weekend and into next week. So make sure you follow us on YouTube. Bye bye.
