00:00 Hi there. Drier and sunnier weather is on the way but still a few showers to talk about
00:07 for the overnight period and in some places during Friday as well. Plenty of showers on
00:12 the map then as we start off Thursday evening but increasingly overnight those showers have
00:16 become more confined to the east coast, perhaps some longer spells of rain coming in from
00:21 the North Sea at times, certainly a lot of cloud in the east. That's going to keep temperatures
00:24 up at 11 or 12 Celsius overnight in the east along with the breeze as well. But further
00:31 west with drier and clearer weather arriving, well we could get down to something like 6
00:36 Celsius, somewhere like sheltered parts of Scotland. But we've got also higher pressure
00:42 moving in here so increasingly settled weather arriving from the west and north-west over
00:48 the next couple of days. However, it's in the east and south-east where we'll still
00:52 see some occluded fronts and the influence of low pressure bringing some outbreaks of
00:57 rain or showers during Friday and Saturday. Certainly an unsettled start in the east and
01:02 south-east on Friday morning, a keen breeze from the North Sea, a lot of cloud, showery
01:07 rain on and off. Those showers could turn heavy for a time into the afternoon as well
01:11 if we get enough warmth developing. But at the same time we're going to see drier and
01:18 sunnier weather across northern and western parts of the UK, certainly compared with the
01:22 last few days, plenty of fine weather. Still the chance of some cloud building anywhere
01:27 from central Scotland into northern England, parts of Wales and somewhere like Wales and
01:33 the Midlands could still get the odd light shower. But for the vast majority away from
01:37 the east and south-east it's a fine Friday and with the sunny spells developing temperatures
01:42 reach the high teens and low twenties in places. Glasgow 20 or 21 Celsius, Barnstable 20 Celsius
01:49 there. So a fine day to come for many and feeling warm in the sunshine but we've still
01:54 got that cloud and that nagging North Sea wind to contend with in the east. That will
01:59 still drive some showery rain into the far east of England, somewhere like Norfolk, Suffolk,
02:04 Essex, perhaps Kent as well into the start of Saturday. But for the vast majority elsewhere
02:09 it's clear spells overnight and with lighter winds as well and a cool airflow in place.
02:16 Cloud temperatures will drop a bit further I think, fairly widely in the west, 9 or 10
02:21 Celsius, but in sheltered parts mid-single figures and some sheltered glens of Scotland
02:26 could get down to 3 or 4 Celsius. So a fresh start to Saturday but plenty of sunshine first
02:32 thing for Scotland, Northern Ireland, much of northern and western England as well as
02:35 Wales seeing those blue skies. Not entirely sunny into the afternoon, some cloud will
02:41 develop and also the odd light shower couldn't be ruled out, somewhere like Wales or the
02:44 Midlands once again. But the most frequent showers will still affect parts of Norfolk,
02:50 Suffolk, Kent, Essex for example along with that cool wind from the North Sea. Where we've
02:55 got lighter winds and sunny skies elsewhere, temperatures up to 18 to 21 Celsius, feeling
03:01 very pleasant in the summer sunshine because by this stage we're into a new meteorological
03:06 season and of course the start of every season brings with it new wonders and joys but also
03:13 new challenges and to help make the most of the summer months we recommend you stay prepared
03:20 and you can find tips on how to do that on the Met Office website. Bye bye.
