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

00:20 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

00:55 from the west. And like I said, that cloud could bring some drizzly outbreaks of rain,

01:00 mainly over higher ground towards western areas. But it's this feature that I pointed

01:04 out before that's going to bring the heavier, more persistent rain, initially across parts

01:08 of Northern Ireland, but then spreading into western parts of Scotland, England and Wales

01:13 as we go through the afternoon. Staying mostly dry across the southeast, but turning increasingly

01:19 cloudy here. It is still going to be pretty mild, exceptionally so for the time of year,

01:23 dragging in our air from the south. And with that, could get a bit of a fern effect. So

01:28 perhaps over parts of North Wales, maybe we could be looking at highs of around 15 or

01:33 16 Celsius, but quite widely, several degrees above average for the time of year. As we

01:38 go through Saturday evening, this band of rain then continues to push its way eastwards.

01:42 And so, although in the southeast it's going to be a largely dry day, the rain is going

01:47 to arrive here. So pretty wet end to the day here. Different story though for Scotland

01:51 and Northern Ireland, the rain clearing through. So whilst it will stay pretty cloudy and there

01:56 may be a few showery outbreaks around, it is going to be much drier than during the

02:00 daytime. Staying mild though, in fact, even milder than through Friday evening. So by

02:04 10 o'clock, many places holding up in double figures, obviously not necessarily feeling

02:09 that pleasant in the wind and the rain. Looking ahead to Sunday and that feature then clears

02:14 away towards the east. Bit of uncertainty as to exactly how quickly it does so. So it

02:20 is possible that that rain will linger across parts of the southeast a little bit longer

02:25 than this may suggest. Behind it, something a bit drier, just a few showers to watch out

02:30 for. But on the whole, Sunday does look like a drier day for many of us compared to Saturday.

02:35 There may not be a huge amount of sunshine, but I am expecting some breaks in the clouds,

02:39 so some sunshine at times. And the showers look fairly well scattered and pretty light

02:45 for most of us. So definitely looking like the driest day of the weekend. Once any rain

02:50 in the southeast clears away, there may be perhaps a bit more sunshine developing as

02:54 we go through into the afternoon. So you may have a better chance then of seeing some sunny

02:59 spells. Again, it is going to be mild. A slight change in our wind directions coming more

03:03 from the west southwest means it's perhaps in the southeast where we have the greatest

03:07 chance of seeing the highest temperatures again around 16 Celsius. But if that rain

03:13 does linger in the southeast, which is quite possible, then those temperatures will be

03:17 lower than this suggests. As we look ahead to next week and after a drier start, things

03:23 are going to turn much more unsettled with some heavy rain likely to come through as

03:27 we go through the middle part of the week. But all the time, temperatures are likely

03:31 to stay relatively mild, at least for the time of year. We will obviously keep you up

03:35 to date with the forecast as we go through the weekend and into next week. So make sure

03:39 you follow us on YouTube. Bye bye.
