00:00Hello again. Wednesday was another fairly grey day, at least for most of us, and Thursday

00:06promises again pretty cloudy skies, but maybe not quite so misty. High pressure continues

00:11to dominate, actually sitting well to the east of us, but another centre of the high

00:15pressure is building just to the east, generating the winds coming up from the south. Quite

00:20a noticeable breeze around some western coasts, and that southerly breeze is also bringing

00:26in the cloud and the reasonably mild air. A bit of drizzle here and there across parts

00:30of the south, particularly over hills and parts of Scotland. Again, over high ground

00:34maybe seeing a little bit of drizzly rain, but northern Scotland has seen some sunshine

00:38through Wednesday and will continue to see some decent clear spells overnight. Temperatures

00:43are going to hold up. It's generally pretty mild air, and with the blanket of cloud keeping

00:47the temperatures high as well, we won't start Thursday any lower than about 8 or 9 Celsius

00:53in towns and cities. Some rural spots may be a little lower, but many will start in

00:57double figures. So, a pretty warm start to Thursday, a pretty grey start to Thursday.

01:03Again, some drizzle here and there, especially over hills, moors of the southwest, hills

01:08and mountains of Wales, but most places will be just dry and fairly drab. We are, I think,

01:14going to see not quite so much in the way of mist. Visibility should be a little bit

01:18better during Thursday. Still some hill fog where the cloud is sitting over the higher

01:23routes, but equally to the north and west of high ground, we should again see some breaks

01:28in the cloud. So, northern Scotland, again, instead of grey skies here, we should see

01:33some decent spells of sunshine. Still quite breezy across the northwest in particular.

01:37That breeze helping actually to both break the cloud up, but also bring some higher temperatures

01:43and parts of northern Scotland could easily get to 16, maybe 17 or even 18 degrees Celsius.

01:49Elsewhere, temperatures close to the average for the time of year, a little milder in the

01:53west, 14, 15 degrees possible here, whereas many central and eastern parts 10, 11 or 12

01:59Celsius. So, close to average, but we will see above average temperatures in the west

02:03and particularly above average across northern Scotland with those southerly winds and something

02:08called the fern effect. For more on that, you can catch Aiden's Deep Dive. That's available

02:15on our YouTube channel from Tuesday. As we go through Thursday evening, we'll keep the

02:20clearest skies across northern Scotland. We'll keep the thick cloud for most places, but

02:25most places will also stay dry to some light rain and drizzle here and there over the hill.

02:30So, not a great deal of change as we go into Friday. In fact, again, northern Scotland

02:33favoured for some bright or sunny skies. Maybe a few more breaks in the cloud again, north

02:38and west Wales, but also maybe over parts of northern England, southern Scotland, we

02:42could see a bit more sunshine. Again, quite thick cloud across the south with some drizzle

02:46here over any hills, but most places will stay dry. Temperatures maybe not quite so

02:51high on Friday, 10 or 11 degrees Celsius. Again, with some brightness in the west, we

02:56could see those temperatures getting into the mid-teens and again, maybe a touch higher

03:00in northern Scotland. Subtle changes as we go through the weekend and into the early

03:05part of next week, but high pressure remains in control. For more on that, you can catch

03:10the 10-day trend that's available on YouTube.
