00:00Hello again. Looks like the changeable theme is with us for a little while yet,

00:05and so that means we can expect a bit more rain in most places, not everywhere.

00:09Looking at the bigger picture, and there's a frontal system moving across us.

00:13We actually see this cold front decaying as it lingers over us through Friday,

00:18so not going to bring a huge amount of rain.

00:20But then there's another system that's coming in to the northwest as we go through this weekend,

00:25and that's going to bring something a bit more blustery, a bit breezy,

00:28and also some further rain, particularly towards northwestern parts further south and east,

00:32staying drier and actually pretty warm as well.

00:36But back to the here and now, through the rest of Thursday,

00:38and that lingering front bringing a fair bit of clouds,

00:41some rain across parts of northern England, maybe Wales and southern Scotland as well.

00:45Also a swathe of heavier, perhaps more persistent rain pushing into some parts of northern Scotland

00:51as we go through the night.

00:52But otherwise there will be quite a bit of dry weather around for many places,

00:56even some clear skies, especially across parts of East Anglia, eastern England,

01:01some decent clear breaks in the cloud here.

01:04Despite any clear skies, it's not going to be a chilly night, not at all.

01:08We have some pretty humid air across us at the moment,

01:11so temperature's not dropping a huge amount.

01:13Most places staying well in double figures,

01:15some places only dropping to around 15 or 16 Celsius.

01:18So a pretty mild start to the day on Friday.

01:21For some, it is going to be a wet one, noticeably across some parts of Scotland.

01:25Some heavier bursts of rain for a time, but a lot of that does clear away towards the east

01:29and break up as we go through towards the afternoon.

01:32And actually by the afternoon, across northwest mainland Scotland,

01:35a good deal of fine sunny weather on offer here.

01:38Further south, a few showers for southern parts of Scotland,

01:40around the borders area and also across parts of Northern Ireland.

01:43And then that decaying front that I mentioned earlier is going to be lingering across parts of,

01:48well, the North Midlands into parts of Wales.

01:51Like I said, it doesn't bring a huge amount of rain,

01:53just some drizzly light rain perhaps, most likely over any higher ground.

01:57Now, there could be a few bursts of rain perhaps across parts of southwest England,

02:01but actually for much of the south, it's looking dry through Friday.

02:05And across parts of southeast Kent in particular,

02:07good deal of sunshine on offer.

02:09And with that, temperatures are likely to be a degree or so higher than on Thursday.

02:14So we're looking at highs around 24, 25 Celsius for some places in the southeast.

02:18And even elsewhere, yes, it is going to be a bit fresher.

02:21But nonetheless, high teens or perhaps even low 20s for some places,

02:25particularly towards the east of any higher ground.

02:28Then as we go through the evening on Friday,

02:31we are going to see a lot of the showers across northern parts fizzling out.

02:35And as that front fully decays, that rain and association with it will clear away as well.

02:40We do have a bit of a ridge of high pressure calming things down somewhat.

02:44But it's not going to last particularly long.

02:46You can already see the next weather system starting to make its way into parts of the west,

02:51northwest, bring some cloud, bring some rain, and the wind starting to pick up.

02:55But ahead of this, across central eastern parts of England,

02:57a dry, clear night with more clear skies on offer compared to this coming night.

03:02It may be a touch fresher for some places, but still, temperatures not dropping a huge amount.

03:07Then through Saturday, as I mentioned, a northwest-southeast split.

03:11So across many central eastern parts, southeastern parts of England,

03:15a fine picture, lots of sunshine yet again further north and west, though.

03:19A breezy day and there will be outbreaks of rain.

03:22Some of that rain could be quite heavy in places, so do watch out for some heavier bursts.

03:26But it's not necessarily going to be all that persistent, quite showery in nature.

03:31And so there will be some drier breaks, perhaps even a bit of sunshine breaking through at times.

03:36Now, as I mentioned, we have some warmer air coming in.

03:39And so on Saturday, I'm expecting the peak in our temperatures for the next few days.

03:43We're looking at highs around 25, maybe 26.

03:4627 Celsius isn't out of the question across parts of the southeast, fresher elsewhere.

03:52And with the breeze, the cloud, outbreaks of rain, well, it's not going to feel especially warm.

03:57But as we go through Saturday night and into Sunday, we see the weather system that's bringing the more changeable weather.

04:04It does clear away, but we continue with some showery bursts coming into the northwest as we go into the beginning of next week,

04:10albeit a ridge of high-pressure builds.

04:12And so that should quieten the weather down for Monday.

04:15But as you can see behind me, there's another system waiting to come in from the west.

04:20So the changeable theme of some drier periods and then something a bit wetter and breezier continues as we go through, well, much of next week.

04:28We are also going to see things turning a bit fresher.

04:30So after a very warm day on Saturday in the south, it's going to be several degrees fresher by the time we get to Sunday.

04:40I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.

04:42Bye-bye.
