00:00Hello there, welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met Office.

00:04Weather fronts will just come and go across the country over the next few days

00:08into the weekend but for most we'll see some dry and fine weather and that's

00:11certainly the case on Thursday. This weather front here tends to ease

00:15towards the far northwest, still breezy into Thursday and also warm before we

00:19see some showery rain just extend across the country and into Friday, turning a

00:24bit colder across Scotland and Northern Ireland but some fine weather and then

00:27into the weekend a mix of clouds and sunshine, showery bursts particularly

00:31through Saturday. Sunday we'll see an improving picture across many areas. Now

00:36for the time being clearer skies across England and Wales, not as cold as last

00:40night, lowest temperatures 1 to 3 degrees Celsius in rural Wales. Notice dry skies

00:45also for Northern Ireland as that rain retreats and it's certainly going to

00:49retreat across central parts of Scotland but always Western Scotland seeing some

00:54persistent rain into the early hours of Thursday morning as that rain extends

00:59towards the far north and northwest. Now winds are changing direction, it's going

01:03to be a relatively warm day on Thursday. Before that though, lowest temperatures

01:07as I said, rural spots towards the south, seven or eight across more northern

01:12areas. So a bit of a wet start to the day across the northwest of Scotland, the

01:16Western Isles. Notice this rain is clearing mainland Scotland. For many

01:20though it's a bright morning with some lovely sunshine. Broken clouds for

01:24Northern Ireland as well as Scotland before later on notice a few showers

01:28break out across Wales. Now they'll extend towards northwestern parts of

01:32England, southern parts of Scotland, the West Midlands as well. At the same time

01:36we'll see a little rain moving in across Northern Ireland. Temperatures in any

01:41sunshine coming in around 13 or 14 across Scotland and Northern Ireland, 16

01:46or 17 in shelter across England and Wales. So a warm day on the cards across

01:52many areas. A bit blustery in places but even so pleasant to be out and about

01:56with some blue sky and sunshine. But through the evening these showers

01:59continue their passage northwards. This is a weather front here which eventually

02:03will push across Scotland bringing some patchy rain and that showery rain

02:07continues into the early hours of Friday morning across England and Wales.

02:11Clearer skies then through Friday across Scotland and Northern Ireland as we head

02:15through the day, 11 or 12 degrees Celsius. Showery rain continues across the

02:19Midlands, Northern England. Brighter skies across the extreme east of England.

02:22So here's your bigger picture into Friday. Notice weather fronts always

02:26close by but we'll have some sunshine in between and showery bursts continue

02:31their passage northwards through Saturday and into Sunday. It's a breezy

02:34day on Sunday but for most it's bright with some sunshine before the onset of

02:38more showery rain towards the south and we hang on to some wet weather across

02:42the far north of Scotland. Here's your outlook then through Saturday. Yes

02:45temperatures generally speaking around 13 to 16 degrees Celsius as that wet

02:50weather eventually clears northwards. So some sunshine in its wake. I'll see you later.
