00:00The settled September sunshine will be replaced by some pretty big clouds and a
00:04risk of thunderstorms for many southern and central areas this weekend and there
00:08are warnings in force. We've had high pressure all this week but low pressure
00:12is starting to develop down to the south of the UK through this weekend and that
00:17will drag up pulses of intense and at times heavy and thundery downpours
00:22across many parts of England and Wales. We've got higher pressure still
00:26dominating further north so still some dry weather to come particularly for
00:30northwestern areas through this weekend but easterly winds will mean that it's
00:34going to be quite a lot of cloud around across north and eastern coasts. We'll
00:38see some of that cloud drag in through Friday evening bringing a risk of some
00:42drizzly rain particularly across parts of eastern Scotland overnight on Friday
00:46night. Further south there's a risk of thunderstorms through Friday evening
00:49then that starts to ease away but by the time we get to Saturday morning a
00:53further risk of some torrential downpours arriving for many southern
00:57coasts. Meanwhile across the north and west it should stay fairly settled and
01:01dry and clear so it could be a fairly fresh start to the day on Saturday
01:05morning actually but still fairly bright and the best of the sunshine will be
01:09across parts of western Scotland, northwest England as well seeing some
01:13bright sunshine throughout Saturday morning. Further south there's a risk of
01:16these showers through much of the day they will come and go not everywhere
01:20we'll see them but where we do see them we could see some localised impacts.
01:24However away from the showers there still will be some dry weather across
01:28southern areas where we do have the warning in force and temperatures still
01:31climbing towards the mid-20s for some of us so still feeling fairly warm if not a
01:35bit humid across southern areas. Quite fine actually very pleasant in the
01:39sunshine across the north and west but the north and east will probably
01:42continue to stay quite grey and overcast across the coastal areas in particular.
01:48As I said we do have a warning in force for Saturday for much of the day across
01:52much of western England parts of Wales and much of Wales as well so where we do
01:58see these showers we could see some hail lightning and up to 70 millimetres of
02:02rain falling through the day that's enough to bring some localised impacts
02:05to travel and delays on the roads. Those showers will continue into Saturday
02:10evening as they move further north into parts of northwest England and into
02:14parts of Northern Ireland as well but we start to lose that risk of thunderstorms
02:17as we head into Saturday evening and Sunday morning but there will be further
02:22wet weather across the south through much of the rest of the weekend.
02:26Meanwhile we've still got this easterly wind and a lot of low cloud across
02:29eastern coast of Northern England and that drier clearer weather just about
02:33holding on across the far northwest of Scotland but I think it'll probably turn
02:37more and settled a bit more widely as we head into Sunday with further wet
02:41weather on the cards. We could see some further localised travel and flooding
02:45disruption particularly across southwestern areas of the UK parts of
02:50southwest Wales southwest England but also across the southeast we could see
02:53some pulses of some quite wet weather so it's really worth keeping up to date
02:56with the day-to-day forecast for more details on this wet weather across the
03:00south over the next few days but as I said at the beginning north and western
03:04areas will remain largely dry and settled through a lot of the weekend
03:08it's not gonna be quite as warm over the weekend as it has been so far this week
03:11across these areas but it's still pretty pleasant in the sunshine the winds will
03:14be quite light actually across the north and west compared to that pesky
03:18easterly breeze bringing that gloomier feel across the east coast all the while.
03:23Now as we head into the start of next week it looks like we could see some
03:27further wet weather but it probably will be a little bit more settled through
03:30Monday and Tuesday with a more widely unsettled weather arriving by Wednesday
03:35you can find more details on that on our latest 10-day trend though see you again
03:38soon bye bye
