00:00Good afternoon.
00:01Well, it's been a bit of a slow start in places with low cloud lifting and breaking,
00:06but we'll see a good deal of sunshine through the rest of this afternoon.
00:09And that's all to do with this area of high pressure situated towards the north, the winds
00:14rotating clockwise, drawing in a north-easterly flow, so always feeling chillier along those
00:20North Sea coasts.
00:22But back to the rest of this afternoon, many of us seeing plenty of fine and settled weather,
00:27plenty of sunshine on offer, but low cloud may just linger across those eastern coasts.
00:32And with that north-easterly flow as well, it is going to be feeling rather chilly here.
00:38But out towards the west, temperatures 21, 22, possibly 23 or 24 for western parts of Scotland.
00:47Now, as we go through Saturday evening and overnight, well, the land will cool and we'll start to
00:53see the return of this low cloud pushing in from the North Sea and further inland.
00:59It could be thick enough in places for some drizzle at times, but out towards the west,
01:04that's where we'll hold on to the clearest skies and lighter winds that allow a few mist
01:09and fog patches just to develop and perhaps even a touch of frost in some sheltered spots.
01:14So, as for temperatures, like I said, chilly in the west, but a cool start as we start
01:20Sunday morning underneath all this low cloud.
01:23So, pretty grey and gloomy start across eastern parts of England, the Midlands and the southeast.
01:29But as the sun gets going, once again, that should lift and break.
01:34It still may linger across those eastern coasts, but for many of us, actually, it's another fine
01:40and settled day to come, there is the chance of the odd shower just breaking out across
01:45southern parts of Scotland and north-western England later.
01:51As for temperatures, well, it's still going to be feeling warm in that sunshine, 21 up to 22 or 23
01:57degrees, but where you've got this onshore flow across northern Scotland and down this eastern coast,
02:03always on the cooler side.
02:05Now, as we look further ahead, many of us will see plenty of fine and dry weather,
02:11but there is more of a chance of some showers.

02:18Bye-bye.
