00:00 Hello, many of us have some fine dry and sunny weather at the moment. Will it last into the
00:05 weekend? Yes. Will it last through the weekend? No. Things are going to turn pretty wet as
00:10 we go through Sunday and into the beginning of next week. However, starting off and if
00:15 we quickly look through Friday, a mostly dry day for many of us. Yes, some mist and fog
00:19 patches perhaps first thing, but most of these will clear quite quickly and then a decent
00:24 bright sunny picture as we head into the afternoon. And like I said, staying dry for the majority
00:28 of us, one or two showers can't be ruled out perhaps and a little bit more cloud, some
00:33 outbreaks of rain for Shetland. Otherwise, with the fine sunny weather, it is going to
00:37 feel pretty warm. Temperatures likely to be a little bit higher than on Thursday in the
00:41 south southeast. We're looking at highs of around 24, 25 Celsius and even further north
00:46 across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, just about getting into the low 20 Celsius.
00:51 Why is it so settled at the moment? Well, it's because of high pressure. This high pressure
00:55 has been over the UK through much of this week. However, it is going to start to shift
00:59 away towards the east as we head into the weekend. That being said, we're still going
01:04 to be under the influence of it as we go into Saturday. So a quiet start, though some low
01:08 cloud around some North Sea coastal parts and perhaps towards the far northwest of Scotland
01:13 elsewhere, a few pockets of mist and fog first thing on Saturday. But these will quickly
01:17 burn back with some decent fine sunny weather developing as we go into the afternoon. There
01:22 may be a few showers developing over the higher ground of northern England in particular,
01:27 and if they do, they could turn heavy and thundery. But most places will avoid these
01:31 and most places will stay largely dry. Again, a decent amount of bright and sunny weather
01:36 around and with that temperatures rising even further could get to highs of around 25 or
01:41 26 Celsius towards the east. Though worth bearing in mind around some coastal parts,
01:46 it will feel a little bit fresher than this. The high pressure continues to dominate our
01:51 weather as we go into Sunday, but we are losing the influence of it as it edges a little bit
01:57 further eastwards. And as it does so, we start to see some systems pushing in from the west.
02:01 Nonetheless, Sunday gets off to a similar start to Saturday for many places. Yes, some
02:06 low cloud around coastal areas, a few pockets of mist and fog, and then it's going to be
02:10 fine, especially towards the east into the afternoon. But further west, we will see some
02:15 showery rain developing and this could turn heavy and possibly even thundery. There may
02:20 not be quite as much showery rain as the graphics behind me are showing and it may not be quite
02:26 as intense, but there is the potential for some torrential downpours and like I say,
02:30 some thundery outbursts as well. Towards eastern areas, a greater chance of staying dry, bright
02:35 and largely sunny and with that temperatures rising possibly even higher than on Saturday,
02:41 highs of around 26 or 27 Celsius. Even elsewhere, temperatures still well above average for
02:46 the time of year, but obviously it's going to feel a little unpleasant if you do catch
02:51 any downpours. As we go into the beginning of next week, that high pressure really has
02:55 drifted away and so we've lost its influence. And as a result, there'll be very showery
03:00 rain overnight into Monday before an area of low pressure pushes its way in from the
03:05 southwest and that is going to bring some wet and windy weather as we start the new
03:09 working week. And that's the theme through much of next week. To be honest, it's looking
03:13 pretty unsettled. There'll be some heavy rain, some strong blustery winds, also some thundery
03:17 showers too and temperatures are going to be dropping closer to average for the time
03:22 of year. With the risk of some thunderstorms as we go through into next week, make sure
03:26 you check out our weather ready pages on our website for advice on how to stay safe and
03:31 make the most of the summer months. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
03:34 Bye.
