00:00Hello and a very good morning to you on this, the final day of meteorological spring. And
00:05depending on where you are across the UK, very different weather you'll be seeing on Saturday.
00:09So we have this low pressure sweeping through and on this cold front introducing some much cooler,
00:14fresher air. But ahead of it, humid air and quite a warm day across parts of the southeast on
00:19Saturday. By Sunday though, that fresher air will have spread across most of the UK and we'll start
00:24to see some wrap-around frontal features moving through, particularly across the northern half
00:28of the day. So it will give quite an unsettled feel to the end of the weekend. There is a ridge of
00:33high pressure briefly in the west as we head through the rest of Sunday, but there are further
00:38frontal systems waiting out in the wings as we head into the new working week. Back to Saturday morning
00:45though, we do start the day fairly mild and it will be quite murky for many, particularly around Devon
00:50and Cornwall and Welsh coasts through the morning. Then we'll start to see some showers developing,
00:54particularly for parts of Wales and into north to east England later on as well. But this cold front
00:59will start to move through Northern Ireland and into western Scotland through the morning and into
01:03the early part of the afternoon. You can see on here some of these brighter echoes indicating quite
01:07heavy at times, but it should be blustering through fairly quickly, only a couple of hours before we
01:11start to see that moving through again. Best of any sunshine though will be across the central and
01:16south eastern parts of the UK. Here holding on to that warm moist air and we could see 26 or maybe even
01:2227 degrees across parts of east Anglia. Notably cooler though the far northwest that we go, so across
01:29Northern Ireland into that fresher air at best around 16 or 18 degrees across parts of northwest Scotland.
01:37So definitely a northwest southeast split across the UK on Saturday. I'll continue through the evening as
01:42that frontal system slowly sweeps down, but just turning quite drizzly by the time we get across far south of the UK on
01:48Sunday morning. So a largely dry start to the day again for eastern parts and particularly the southern
01:53half of the UK. But by Sunday morning you can see further wrap around frontal systems and heavier showers
01:58already moving into Northern Ireland and western Scotland to give a fairly wet start to the day on
02:04Sunday as well. Temperatures are touched down and a touch fresher on Sunday morning. Back to the single
02:09figures for Northern Ireland and parts of northeast England and Scotland, but still fairly mild across the far
02:15southeast and could still be 14 degrees across parts of Kent as well. Heading through the rest of
02:20Sunday then. So it will be a fresher day, but we do see plenty of sunshine, particularly across the
02:25southeast again. Best of the sunshine there. These wrap around features will be heaviest and strongest
02:30the further north you are. So from Wales up towards Scotland, fairly heavy blustery showers on there.
02:35But sunshine for many across Wales and particularly the southern half of the UK and again the southeast
02:40seeing the best of the sunshine and the warmest temperatures on Sunday. But notably a touchdown on
02:46Saturday. At best maybe 23 degrees in parts of east Anglia and Kent as well. And again further north
02:5315 degrees for Northern Ireland and parts of northwest Scotland as well. So certainly different feel
02:58and it will be much breezier as well and particularly across the far north of Scotland. Heading through the
03:05rest of Sunday then. Things will calm down for a while, but as I mentioned earlier there are further
03:09frontal systems in the flow. So if you want to check out what next week has in store, please do have a
