00:00Hi there. For much of the UK it's more of the same weather that we've seen during the

00:06last few days but there has been a change across the far north. The cold front has sunk

00:11south and that's brought some outbreaks of rain to Scotland. It's also brought colder

00:16air to the far north of Scotland. That cold air is not going to remain in place for long

00:21but for the rest of Friday, accompanying the cold air, change in wind direction and something

00:27a little brighter compared to the last few days for Shetland, Orkney, Caithness, Sutherland

00:31but central and increasingly east and south-east Scotland, a lot of low clouds, some outbreaks

00:38of light rain and drizzle. Further south though, it's generally cloudy skies and it's relatively

00:44mild, 13, 14 Celsius. There'll be fewer breaks I think in the cloud compared with Thursday

00:50but where we do see breaks they're most likely for parts of north-east England towards the

00:55far south-west. Either way, for most it's a cloudy evening and a cloudy night with the

01:02patchy rain and drizzle sinking south into northern England, a lot of hill fog and for

01:07the far north, Shetland really, a touch of frost possible with that cold air in place.

01:12Otherwise, under the blanket of cloud, most places are good to stay in the double figures.

01:18There'll be some hill fog around first thing Saturday, quite a gloomy start for Scotland

01:22with drizzle here and there, northern England likewise and some light showers moving into

01:27parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland as well. We keep the covering of cloud in

01:32most places but some breaks could develop towards the south-east, the south-west, north

01:37Wales for example. 13, 14 Celsius and a milder day for the north of Scotland with the weather

01:43front pushing north once again, albeit with some light drizzly showers. Now, Saturday

01:49night we'll see further cloud envelop the country and out of that cloud some light rain

01:55at times but increasingly clear spells will start to emerge on Saturday night and into

02:00Sunday across central and southern parts because of a change in wind direction bringing clearer

02:05spells from the continent. But there'll also be some drizzle towards the south-west of

02:09England, northern Ireland and northern England. Some breaks possible, north-east Scotland

02:14and the Midlands as well as the south-east on Sunday. That's where the best of any sunshine

02:18will be otherwise it's again a cloudy picture for the next few days. Bye bye.
